Jerry's Granddaughter has it made in America, but children overseas aren't so lucky. In the future, Jerry wants to help those kids by giving them BMX bicycles and an opportunity to race them.
BMX is not very expensive so I should be able to get bicycles, riding gear etc without too much of a problem. This will make a huge difference for these kids. It will give them fun, excitement, goals, hope, competitiveness, the lessons of losing and winning and more. All this will help them learn to have and to show love. They’ll learn that it is better to do to others as you would like done to you.
We’ve had many bike events here, BMX events, mountain bike events, poker runs, an ATV 6 Hours of America, ATV mud drags and ATV dirt drags. The most successful in my opinion is the ATV National and the WPSA ATV Tour.
Over the years many riders have clinched National Chamipionships at Daniel Boone MX. Pictured here is one of the more notable ones. After winning the first-ever production based championship in 2003, Doug Gust did it again and clinched the 2004 championship at DBMX, (pictured here). Gust has been outstanding on this track. He also made history in London when he became the first rider to win a Pro GNC on a Suzuki powered fourstroke. His TC Racing 440cc Suzuki was also the first electric start ATV to cross the finish line first.
There are lots of memories; most of them are good and wholesome! They all stick out as awesome in their own right. Boy we really had a lot of great races here. When the right person comes along the memory of the track will continue strong for many years. I really hope that someone will take DBMX to the next level as a great facility and awesome track. It truly is one of a kind and my prayers and hope is this will indeed happen.
One does comes to mind that is funny to me. I had Saturday Night Racing and the Freestyle Jump Off at half-time. We started at the water tank and go down into the rocket pocket and then they freestyle jump their way over the spectator tunnel jump. Three jumpers did their jump and had their sound meter readings from the crowd. Biker Joe who said he would be at the water tank for the start of the Jump-Off competition finally came flying out of a dark part of the Supercross-6 parking lot, into the rocket pocket, up the hill and proceeds to do a perfect pancake over the tunnel jump. But he has nothing on except a G-string, gloves, boots and a helmet. Needless to say he won the $200 bucks. The ladies were loud! When I walk up to the concession stand after the wild jump, the lady managing concessions starts screaming at me. “Jerry this is supposed to be a FAMILY Christian Race atmosphere” She was given me the business right there in public -- quoting Bible verses and everything. Wow! I told her and I really didn’t know Joe was going to go for the gusto. He was “Gusto-Joe” from then on. We had to have a new jump-off rule. No G-strings! London’s own, Jimmy Elza got 2nd in the Jump-Off.
