RAD RACER REPORT #4...
Our fourth installment of the RAD RACER REPORT is here...
Let's talk about STEVE SMITH! Steve is a long time racer, sponsor & supporter of all things MORE related. He currently competes in our C+50 class and is involved in many cool projects off the track, too. Steve started collecting vintage motocross bikes around the year 2000. Since he used to race motocross in the 1970s, he began collecting old Bultacos, Ossa’s, Maico’s, CZ‘s and other vintage motocross bikes. Then his collection started to expand into other unusual and rare motorcycles from Poland, Russia, Switzerland, Hungary, and other European manufacturers. Steve was drawn to unique bikes that existed before 1975, all the way back to the beginning of motorcycling around 1900. When his personal collection got up to around 80 motorcycles, he decided to build a museum in order to share it with the public. The Moto Museum, located in St. Louis, opened its doors in 2007 & continues to draw in motorcycling enthusiasts today. Highlights include a 1951 Imme R100 with its single-sided fork and swingarm, and the iconic ČZ 125—each piece offering a glimpse into the artistry and innovation of motorcycle history. Steve’s favorite motorcycle in the collection is a 1927 Bohmerland. It is very rare, made in Czechoslovakia, and seats three in a row. The Moto Museum is free of charge & Steve hopes you will all visit the museum and enjoy this amazing collection. Congratulations to Steve & many thanks to him for giving back to the motorcycle community by sharing his passion & collection with all of us. Give it up for STEVE SMITH! #racemore #franktour25 #moreradracer
CHANGING CLASSES...
Round 1 is over - Round 2 is coming up quick! Did you - or your child, exceed your expectations at the first race? Well, now is a great time to move up to the next skill level and still have the opportunity to have a full slate of scores for the year. And if you do move, you’re still eligible for the 100% participation award.
LITTLE SPRING UPDATE...
Little Spring in Americus, MO on July 12th & 13th will be a
GP format event (2 moto format).
We have run this style of race in the past for a few different reasons - one is to offer something different (there are 35+ opportunities to race a “conventional HS format” in Missouri
each year). To this point, no other series offers a GP style race.
Also - it’s summer and potentially hot - this format helps fight the heat a bit. And in the case of this specific event - the landowner/sponsor requested this format.
The plan is to have mostly separate courses for Saturday & Sunday. We will share the start and scoring areas between days, but plan to keep the courses separate so that Sunday starts out “fresh”.
One change from past GP races that only applies to the Sunday Long Course classes - all of these classes will race together and will run (2) 45 minute moto’s (instead of 30 minutes). There will be a 45 minute break between their moto’s.
Saturday PeeWee races and the Ladies race will be their
standard format, no motos.
Please study up on the GP WEEKEND SCHEDULE so you know
what time everything is happening...we will have cheat
sheets available at sign up as well.

Some guidelines for this season's events...
NO pit riding!!!!!!!
If you’re a parent/guardian that is NOT racing but you want/need to follow your child during practice, on a motorcycle (of any size) - you must come to sign-up and fill out an entry card and pay a practice fee.
NO riding when the red flag is displayed - this includes practicing starts.
When you’re not on the race track, go SLOW. The parking lot is NOT the race track and is NOT the place to showcase your ability (or lack-of) to wheelie.
Just trying to keep everyone safe.
It's R A C E W E E K...
The MORE series, brought to you by Bonecutter Off Road, is ready to kick off our 15th year of racing action THIS weekend, June 14/15 at Barn Hollow near Mountain View, MO. This was a brand new venue for us last year & we are excited to be back for MORE! Barn Hollow provides acres and acres of open timber along with probably the largest section of big pine trees that you've ever had the opportunity to race through in Missouri! We've partnered with Bullet Proof Designs as our Event Sponsor for this round & we are stoked to get the entire MORE crew back together again! Wash your helmets, pack your trailer & get excited...it's almost MORE TIME!
2025 NUMBER REGISTRATION OPEN...
Check the 2025 CLASSES listing on the INFORMATION page to determine which class you should compete in & then send an email to proudsis45@yahoo.com that includes your name & class, along with your top three number preferences.
Please keep in mind that all riders are REQUIRED to display the appropriate number and back ground color (on all three number plates) during all MORE events. This will be the means by which the riders are scored. In addition to aiding the scoring personnel, it will also benefit riders (knowing which other riders are in their class), pit crews (knowing who their rider is racing against), and spectators.
Number plates need to be easy to read, no fancy fonts, no crazy outlines, just plain & simple - use the correct number & color combo.
If a rider does not have the appropriate background/number on their machine, generic backgrounds and numbers will be available at sign-up for $5.00 for a set of three.
2025 TITLE SPONSOR...
MORE is excited to announce BONECUTTER OFF ROAD as our 2025 title sponsor. Bonecutter Off Road is a family-owned & operated dealership located in California, MO. Their long time support of all things MORE began back in 2011 when they first attended our events and learned about racing offroad. Fast forward a few years and Bonecutter Off Road has become a prominent piece of the dirt-biking pie throughout the entire Midwest.
Bonecutter Off Road is loaded with shiny, new Beta, Sherco, and GasGas brands, along with a huge selection of used bikes, tons of accessories that will help to protect your bike, and enough bling to make your ride stand out, plus all the parts you need to keep it all together along the way.
As in past years, Bonecutter Off Road plans to have their mobile store onsite at all of our events to help you with your race weekend needs. This is such an awesome perk for our riders, the spectators and our staff.
Give them a call or stop by in person to see all they have to offer. We are sure you'll find what you need & MORE.

PEEWEE50 PRIZES FOR 2025...
At every round this season, we'll draw a name from each of the four PW50 classes and those little racers will win $10 certificates from ProudSis to redeem at Bonecutter Off Road.
Certificates will be awarded at the Saturday Trophy Presentation.
If anyone is interested in doing something similar for other classes, just reach out to proudsis45@yahoo.com
SPORTSMAN RACE CHANGE FOR 2025...
Due to the popularity of the Sportsman race on Saturday,
we have decided to split that race into (2) separate races to
keep more in line with having similar abilities on the track
at the same time. To do this and still get finished in a
timely manner, we have shortened practice and moved
the start time for the first race to 10:15 am.
The updated weekend schedule can be found on the INFO page.

JACOB LARIMER
Our third installment of the RAD RACER REPORT is here...Let's talk about JACOB LARIMER! Jacob began his Scouting journey as a Tiger Cub Scout in first grade when he was six years old. He was also one of the first founders of Pack 621. In 2nd grade, he advanced to Wolf Scout and his mom Julie became his Den Leader. The following year, Jacob went to Bear Scout Day Camp, where his love of camping and the outdoors began to flourish. Jacob’s dedication to Scouts continued as he completed Webelos, the Arrow of Light and transitioned from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. Jacob dove right in to complete the requirements of Scout, then onto Tenderfoot in 6th grade. The following year, he earned the rank of Second Class and kept working hard to then advance to First Class. My middle school, many boys drop out of Scouts due to other activities, but Jacob continued his journey to achieve Star and finally Life Scout. He’s had many fun adventures through the ranks of Scouting, but decided to add the challenging quest of Philmont Scout Ranch in the summer of 2023, where he served as Crew Head Leader for the 621 Scouts and Leaders. Upon returning, Jacob was determined to complete his final rank of EAGLE SCOUT & that he did. He managed the crew for his Eagle project, which was the installation of a concrete slab for dumpsters including a privacy fence. For years, Jacob has served in his community by helping with Harvester’s Food Drives, feeding the needy, and picking up trash in Peculiar, MO. Congratulations Jacob on all your accomplishments & we can’t wait to see you out there racing this year!

What's the FRANKTOUR all about?
Everything we put into this series is because of our hero, Frank Leivan. He had a deep rooted passion for dirt bikes. Frank loved riding them, racing them, laying out trail so other people would have a place to ride and race them. He loved working on them, talking about them, drinking Stag while he told stories about them, and he loved travelling near & far in pursuit of the next ride, the next race, the next adventure. Frank spearheaded organized off-road racing in the state of Missouri and he felt great joy & pride when introducing people to the sport he cared so much about. His devotion to promoting a racing series where others could experience the rush of competition or just being able to get away from the real world for the weekend, was one of his lasting gifts he gave to so many. He instilled in us how to do it all the right way and for all the right reasons. We will continue his legacy, carrying the torch, and paying tribute to him by providing a place where we can all enjoy the happiness that motorcycle racing gives us. Thank you Frank, for every single thing. XOXO
