Freestone Raceway in Wortham, TX, the
second stop of the
Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship,
took place this past weekend as owner, Tony Miller, set
aside a special section for the display along the north
section of the spectator area. Under the best Texas shade,
in the sweltering Texas heat, 53 pristine vintage machines
ranging back from 1926 to 1986 were on display. This area
is now known by all the folks who came out as the “Vintage
Valley” at Freestone!
Our vintage bike show was organized by
Billy Click and Jay & Rene' Huffman this year. Spectators
who came by were shown some of the best machines in the
Texas area |

Heroes supporter, Steve Wise stopped by the display to
visit and do a few autographs with the fans. Steve also
took the lead during the “Legends & Heroes Lap of Honor”
prior to the start of some great racing on a cool Steve
Wise 125 Honda prepared by local race enthusiast and
collector, Joe Newman. Also joining Steve was Glen
Urguhart on his 1976 YZ 125, Billy Click on a 73 Husky

To keep it in the family, many three
generation families came by to chat and view the Boyesen
Link RM 250 Hannah Suzuki. The Davis Family (Gary Davis
(grandpa), Cory Davis (son) and Blake Davis (grandson)),
from Livingston, TX were all there to marvel at the
technology and hear the story of the first production bike
to win a USGP on us soil. The Boyesen engineered bike is
part of the 2010 Legends & Heroes Motocross Tour and will be
on display across the country at all venues all year long.
