In the early days of
American motocross,
announcer Larry Huffman
could be heard
everywhere: Saddleback
Park, Angel Stadium,
Carlsbad Raceway, Ascot
Park, the LA Coliseum…
It was Huffman, a radio
disc jockey, who
announced the first
Superbowl of Motocross
in 1972, instantly
becoming an integral
part of what we now know
as supercross, and his
unmistakable voice could
be heard over the
loudspeakers of stadiums
and racetracks for many
years to come. He was
inducted into the AMA
Motorcycle Hall of Fame
in 2008, and deservedly
so, as his voice and
enthusiasm set the
standard for every race
announcer that’s come
along ever since. He may
have been nicknamed
“Supermouth,” but Larry
Huffman will be
remembered as much for
his showmanship as his
voice, as much for his
passion as his humor,
and always for his
kindness.
