SUPERCROSS
DAYTONA VINTAGE SUPERCROSS
MARCH 10, 2021
DAY TONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY / DAY TONA BEACH, FLORIDA
P98
Unfortunately, due to Covid restric-
tions, the Vintage Off-Road Motorcy-
cle Show normally hosted in the Fan
Zone was not held, but it will return
for 2022.
Six-time AMA Supercross/Moto-
cross Champion and four-time Day-
tona SX winner Jeff Stanton led the
Evolution 2 Masters 50+ class, ahead
of multi-time national champ Doug
Henry, where the spirit of Vintage
Days was exemplified when Stanton
slowed just before the checkered
flag so that he and Henry could cross
the finish line side-by-side. It was an
amazing jester, which spoke to the
very spirit of the event.
In all, Stanton, serving once again
as the Grand Marshal, competed in
three events, winning two—Evolution
2 Masters 50 and Evolution 3 Mas-
ters 50.
Often times at vintage races, bench-
racing is as much a part of the action
as the racing and DVSX is definitely
one of these races. For 64-year-old
Scott Wallenberg, former pro racer
and many-time RSCX competitor, the
DVSX is a trip back in time.
"It takes me back to when these
bikes were what we rode in the pro
classes," said Wallenberg. "It's such a
great fellowship to be with like-minded
people."
Wallenberg rode a 1972 Monarch to
fifth in the 125 Vintage class.
We're already looking forward to
next year.
The most nerve-
wracking time of
all in vintage MX
racing—praying
your bike doesn't
foul a plug on the
start line!
