March, 12, 2010 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – On Friday, March 5th, Brad and Lori Lackey received an e-mail from recently inducted AMA Hall Of Famer Geoff Fox saying that he, along with his brother Bob, would fund the remaining $15,000 needed for a very special project. to reach $100,000 challenge to the industry Last November, Bob “Hurricane” Hannah issued a $100,000 challenge to the industry to fund a special needs van for injured motocross legend Danny “Magoo” Chandler. But even before the news that the donation from the Fox clan had pushed the project to its goal had sunk in, David Bailey and Russ Koza from RIDERS F1RST and ONE Industries added an additional $10,000 for a grand total of $110,000.

“Wow is all I can say right now,” said Brad Lackey, America’s First Motocross World Champion, and van fund project leader Brad Lackey. “They way people have responded to this challenge and all the other donations we received makes me very proud to be part of the motorcycle industry.”
The challenge was started by 7-Time National Motocross and Supercross Champion Bob Hannah at the 2009 Monsters of Motocross presented by Lucas Oil event last Halloween as he made the first $5,000 donation. A growing list of industry people meeting Hannah’s challenge was promoted each week in a series of advertisements donated by Cycle News. Each week, new names were added, including pioneers and new champions of the motocross market and other generous fans of Magoo.
“It’s awesome that so many fine folks and companies found a way to help make this happen for our friend Magoo,” said Hannah. “I look forward to seeing Danny at the races in his new rig. Maybe he’ll take me for a hot lap,” Hannah joked. “The van turned out great!” adds Lackey. “It is so cool, I think I need one of these rigs for myself.”
These funds will now be used to purchase and outfit a new special needs Sprinter van for Danny Magoo Chandler winner of all four motos of the 1982 Motocross and Trophee des Nations. The van will be outfitted with the newest living equipment and gear to allow Danny to be on the road teaching his riding and safety clinics around the country. The goal is to have the vehicle ready by the Hangtown Motocross National in late May.
Although Hannah’s challenge has been met, there is still funds needed to help pay for insurance, maintenance and other costs related to the vehicle. Also, ongoing signage and branding opportunities on the van will be available for interested companies who would like to associate their brand with Danny Magoo Chandler and his safety clinics.

New England Legend John Dowd Lands on Southwick Podium with the Help of Pirelli Scorpion MX Soft Tires

Rome, Ga. - Under consistent rain and treacherous conditions, MX-338 lived up to its billing as one of the most difficult circuits on the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship schedule. Known for producing spectacular rides over the years, last Saturday's MX-338 Motocross National was no different as semi-retired privateer John Dowd made his annual appearance at the national that he calls home. The Pirelli-backed 44-year old veteran showed what experience at the "Sandbox" can do, overcoming most of his considerably younger competition to land on the overall podium.

Dowd started the day with an impressive performance in practice and qualifying, posting the fourth fastest time overall and giving him a good gate pick for each of the motos. The track was a mixture between sand and mud with the considerable amount of moisture it absorbed, but the Scorpion MX Soft tires worked flawlessly, showcasing the outstanding versatility of Pirelli's premier off-road tire.

As the gate dropped on moto one, the Ludlow, Mass. native earned a start within the top 10, but a bobble on the second lap dropped him within the top 15 where he battled for the majority of the moto. He mustered a late surge over the final six laps to work his way up to 10th, giving him an opportunity at a solid overall finish for the day.

In the second moto, Dowd got an even better start and took advantage of the good track position early, moving from eighth to fourth within seven laps. Quoted as saying he only had a good 20 minutes in him, the two-time Southwick winner continued to move forward, finding himself in second place on lap 10 and closing in on the leader. The multiple-second deficit proved too large to overcome and Dowd settled into the runner-up spot, bringing home the stellar moto result that vaulted him to third overall on the day.

The performance allowed Dowd to keep his permanent number of 16 for another year and gave Pirelli its best result of the 2009 season. Fellow Massachusetts rider Robby Marshall brought home fifth.

Additionally, newcomer Taylor Futrell helped promote the caliber of the privateer by finishing fifth overall in the 250 Class where he ran up at the front of the pack for most of the day.
