The night started with the Earl & Lucile Flanders Lifetime Achievement Award, which this year went to Rod Lake, a former dirt track racer who has supported many up-and-coming racers and still supports several current racers.
Five-time MX World Champion Roger DeCoster, who needs no introduction, was the evening’s first Hall of Fame inductee. Other inductees included former Trailblazers President Walt Fulton III, multi-time Motocross Champion Broc Glover, nine-time female National MX Champion Mercedes Gonzalez-Natvig, former Houston TT winner Mike Haney, and tuner/bike builder Pete Pistone.
This year, David Aldana was the recipient of the Dick Hammer Award, the highest honor in the Trailblazers Hall of Fame.
