It's episode No. 2 of the Racing Jack show and we catch with legendary motocross racer Grant Langston to talk about how a health issue brought his career to a devastating end, but how his perseverance helped turn disappointment into a thriving business venture. We head to Langston Motorsports in Perris, California to talk about the motorcycle industry, some of the best and worst moments of Grant Langston's legendary motocross and Supercross career, including his devastating KTM wheel failure that cost him a championship in AMA Pro Motocross at Steel City Raceway in 2001 against Mike Brown, his best advice to aspiring motocross racers and their families, if some dirt bike racing families are going too far and pushing their child too hard, if racing and powersports will die in California and how Langston and his business is staying one step ahead. We also ask Langston abut his take on the current crop of Supercross talent and if Jett Lawrence is on pace to be the greatest racer of all-time. We also take a look back at Langston's motorsports announcing career and how it came to a bizarre end in a strange time. We take a look around Langston's successful motorcycle dealership and discuss the addition of Honda to his lineup. Finally we get Grant Langston to offer up his very best life advice.
