The vintage t-shirt contest is back again this year and all you have to do is bring your favorite old school race tee and show it to the registration team on Saturday morning to enter yourself a chance to win some cool prizes. They will choose a winner during intermission, which means you need to get your picture taken before the first set of motos is complete. We’ve also added a few new contests to the lineup, including the oldest race program, the furthest-traveled competitor and the oldest competitor. If you are in the running for any of those things, check with the ladies at registration for more information on how to enter.

On Saturday evening, High Point Raceway will host a karaoke session beginning at 6 p.m., along with a hot dog and hamburger cookout for everyone.

As professional motocross privateer-turned-event-promoter, Big Dave Coombs was the co-founder of not only High Point Raceway and Steel City Raceway, but the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships at Loretta Lynn Ranch, the Grand National Cross Country Series (GNCC), the National Promoters Group (NPG), the ATVA Grand National Championships, the fabled Blackwater 100, and much, much more. His legacy extended to the foundation of MX Sports Pro Racing, organizers of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, as well as Racer Productions, Racer X Illustrated and Racer X Online. Big Dave Coombs passed on August 3, 1998 after losing his battle with leukemia. He was 57 years old.
