MotoAmerica steps up … BIG TIME!!

MotoAmerica steps up … BIG TIME!!

If you have listened to our DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio podcast you would have heard us rant about MotoAmerica. Not so much the racing but the fact that it is so hard to see!

It was on the BEIN network and BEIN just did not have much access to American households.

THAT HAS ALL CHANGED FOR 2019!

MotoAmerica has reached a deal Fox Sports 2, available on almost all cable packages, nearly 57 million…

Motorcycle News: Bagger Racing at Laguna Seca

Upshift – King of the Baggers – MotoAmerica has a real winner with this new motorcycle race format!  The race had me smiling ear to ear.  Seeing motorcycles, that many of us ride, racing on a world-famous racetrack was so rewarding. It was also gratifying, if you listen to The DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio you know I have been calling for some kind of series like this for years.

This was not some…

What to do with old motorcycle helmets?

With April being Motorcycle Helmet Safety Month, it was the right time to get rid of the old lids. This month IJustWant2Ride.com and The Dawghouse Motorcycle Radio show donated 10 old helmets to the Front Royal Fire Department

There are a lot of things you can do with old motorcycle helmets. Make planters or art with them for example. But one of the most important things you can do with those old motorcycle helmets is to donate them to emergency services. Why? Because they need to train to deal with motorcycle accidents and how to handle the helmets is one of the things they need to practice. This month…

I recently attended the 2019 MotoAmerica Championship of Virginia at Virginia International Raceway. Phil, from The DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio show, and I attended the race with press credentials. Those credentials got us into almost all parts of the race including the starting line and paddock.

The racing has gotten a lot better, to the point where I will state that the racing in MotoAmerica is the best in the world!

I am not saying the talent is better than MotoGP but, MotoAmerica has 6 riders that could win a race and currently has 4 different winners in 6 races. In fact, the winner of the 2nd superbike race was JD Beach who had won an American Flat Track race the week before. As you can see from below, we had a good time while lining ups interviews for the DawgHouse.

Liqui Molly DawgHouse Ticket Winners

We also spent a lot of time with the fans. MotoAmerica has gone all out to make the race day a family event. From stunt shows to vendors there was something for everyone to do between races. We also met with several DawgHouse fans while we were at the race. We introduced the winners of the Liqui Molly ticket give away to the Liqui Molly representative.

  Wayne Rainey, his wife, Chuck Askland and Phil.

If you have been following The DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio you know we have been hard on MotoAmerica. We know that the leaders in MotoAmerica have been listening as we have talked with them on several occasions. I can’t say that anything we said or did had any direct input to them but a lot of what we were asking for is now delivered! 3 time World Champion Wayne Rainey and one of the owners of MotoAmerica Chuck Askland even stopped by to say high! Next time I will get a better picture.

Motorcycle Movie Review: On Any Sunday, The Next Chapter

Motorcycle Movie Review: On Any Sunday, The Next Chapter

Recently I and the other hosts from the ”DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio” show watched the motorcycle movie “On Any Sunday, The Next Chapter”. The movie is an updated version of the original “On Any Sunday” which was filmed in 1971 and nominated for an Academy Award in 1972. The new movie was directed by the son of the original film, Dana Brown.

Dana’s “Next Chapter” follows a path similar to his…

In August by buddy Phil and I, representing the DawgHouse Motorcycle Radio show, attended the MotoAmerica race at Pittsburgh International Race (PittRace) complex. This was our second MotoAmerica race for the year, we attended the race at Virginia International Raceway a few months earlier.

We parked about as far away from the action as possible, just the luck of the draw. But during the long walk we did see a lot of vehicles from out of state (Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Minnesota to name a few). When we did make it to the gathering we found that MotoAmerica had again set up events and activities for folks to enjoy between races. A globe of death, and stunt shows among other things were ready to go. The State of Pennsylvania even had their Motorcycle Safety team out giving away stickers and yard sign promoting motorcycle safety.

Watching the race while watching the race!

The racing facility was very nice, well laid out and easy to get from point A to point B. Food truck were located near the viewing area and were serving some good eats. The only issue with we had with the Pittsburgh Race Complex was that there was only one place from which to watch the race, Spectator Hill.

From Spectator Hill it is possible to view about 40% of track as well as a jumbotron. You could walk and see bits and parts of the track from a few other locations but really nothing more then flashes. As far as attendance our best guess is that there were 2500-3000 people there that day. Spectator Hill was not crowded but if you doubled the number of the folks there, it would be quite well packed.

Josh Herrin crossing the finish line

The racing, just like VIR, was great! We watch the Liquid Molly race as well as the Super Stock and Superbike races. We watched the Super Stock race from Spectator Hill and the Superbike race from the pits, the starting grid and the media center. I am not going to detail the races, that you can get from multiple sites as well as MotoAmerica.

The week leading up to the race we were not sure if were going to be issued media credentials. Phil and I (primarily Phil) got into an argument with some of the folks associated with MotoAmerica including one of the owners. Our “discussion” was about the “coverage” of the sport. Long story short, we believe that MotoAmerica is not getting the product out to enough eyeballs. We have said, on multiple occasions, that the product (racing) is very good now, that the on-site activities are good, but beIN is killing them on viewership.

We had a great time at Pittsburgh Race Complex and look forward to attending next year’s race as well!
