Retirement from full-time racing did not diminish
Burnworth's passion for motocross. In fact, it was
in the vintage motocross scene where he found a
second wind. As an avid advocate for preserving the
history of the sport, he became a regular competi
-
tor in vintage motocross events, winning numerous
championships and rekindling the spirit of a bygone
era. His enthusiasm for vintage racing extended
beyond the track, as he worked tirelessly to organize
events and mentor young riders.
Off the track, Burnworth was equally admired for
his kindness, humility and generosity. He was a dedi
-
cated husband to his wife, Debbie, and a proud father
to their two daughters, Breanna and Brittin. Friends
and fans often spoke of his willingness to share his
time, whether helping a fellow rider fine-tune a bike or
reminiscing about the glory days of motocross over a
cup of coffee.
Scott Burnworth's legacy extends far beyond the
races he competed in. He will be remembered as a
trailblazer, a champion of the motocross community,
and a steadfast supporter of the sport's growth. His
infectious smile, boundless energy, and love for moto
-
cross will be dearly missed.
Burnworth is survived by his wife, Debbie, their daugh-
ters, Breanna and Brittin, and countless friends and fans
who were touched by his life. Rest in peace, Scott.
