W
omen motocrossers of the past, present and future gathered at
Glen Helen Raceway on September 6 for an historic celebration –
40 years of women's motocross. Organized by Miki Keller and Tami
Rice Greenhill, the event was presented by the CALVMX/AHRMA series, and
the crew graciously hosted over a dozen classes for women racers.
Though the current state of women's motocross is in shambles, some of
the fastest girls ever to throw a leg over a bike gathered from around the world
to celebrate the 40
th
anniversary of women's motocross, resulting in so many
entrants that the track actually ran short on transponders for the event.
Despite a tip-over in
the first moto, Sayaka
Kaneshiro topped the
Women's Pro class at
the 40
th
Anniversary of
Women's Motocross
Celebration that was
