Baja and desert racing legends Scot Harden and Johnny Campbell hosted Handstands at 100 mph, an epic gathering of desert racing men, women and machinery nestled in the vineyard rows of Temecula Wine Country’s Doffo Winery—home to the Moto Doffo vintage motorcycle collection.
The private party/reception honored the Baja/Desert motorcycle racing faithful and heroes. From its hall-of-fame attendance to the jaw-dropping display of historical desert racing weaponry on-hand, the event had something for every motorcycle fan and competitor to appreciate.
Spanning accomplishments from the 1960’s and every subsequent generation, Handstands at 100 mph, a reference of running over a “pucker bush,” or whatever else gets in a desert racer’s way, at speed, succeeded in its goal of promoting and honoring the fastest, most brutal form of off-road motorcycle sport.
In addition to the off-road hosting duo, off-road living legends like Ty Davis, Jack Johnson, Mitch Mayes, Ted Hunnicutt, AC Bakken, Brent Wallingsford, Dan Ashcraft and Anna Cody, among many others, were recognized. Champions we’ve lost were remembered, as well.
It’s not often you can see the people and the machines that dominated and inspired generations of followers and fans in one place. But at Handstands at 100 mph, that’s exactly what attendees enjoyed. CN
