High Point Raceway Hosts 31st Annual Big Dave Vet Homecoming Weekend
GP and Motocross Racing Action All Weekend

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (September 16, 2021) – This weekend, September 18 and 19, the 31st Annual Big Dave Vet Homecoming will take place at High Point Raceway in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania. This event offers two days of unique racing and a wide selection of vet classes for all skill levels, as well as support classes for our younger racers. This is a laid-back event that is sure to bring back cool memories. Come out and join our extended racing family on this special weekend as we celebrate our motocross heritage and the memory of “Big Dave” with all our friends – old and new.

It has been 23 years since we lost Big Dave in 1998, and we hope to make this year’s Big Dave Vet Homecoming the best yet. This event is a fun, enjoyable weekend with friends. This is exactly the kind of event that Big Dave enjoyed, so join us as we honor Big Dave by doing the thing that he enjoyed the most – racing with his friends.

The GP-style Moto-X Country racing is a hybrid event combining elements of off-road racing and motocross into one unique competition. Taking place over a roughly three-mile course, racers will encounter woods sections intermittently separated by big European-style grass track areas. There are classes for all ages and skill levels, and you don’t even have to be a “Vet” rider to participate! All classes will race (2) 30-minute motos on this hybrid course.

Heard's Best BBQ Ever! is back this year with his famous BBQ Dinner for just $8 on Saturday evening starting at 6 p.m. Get your tickets from Rider Registration.

The fun continues Saturday evening with Pit Bike racing kicking off at 6:30 pm and a full evening of vintage racing movies, karaoke with Racer X John and of course, some great bench racing with old buddies. Even if you’re not here to race, Saturday evening promises to be full of fun and serves as a great time to catch up with old friends.

Sunday the focus will shift to the motocross track as the 31st Annual Big Dave Vet Homecoming will take to the famous High Point Raceway. Racers will be able to compete in numerous Vet-aged classes, Vintage classes and some Support classes for younger riders as well.

The afternoon will feature a Vintage Bike Show, numerous Vintage Contests with the opportunity to win some great prizes, and a Swap Meet. So, clean out your garage, shine up those vintage items and get ready to show-off your sh**… stuff at the Country Club of Motocross.
