James P. Hayes Sr. begins his storied motorcycle career in the shade of a tree atop Roan Mountain, Tennessee, in 1936. Winston Johnson is a multitalented motocross racer offering other riders a track to practice, play, and worship. The facility opened in 2019 off Interstate 81 in Abingdon, Virginia. Johnson is not only a businessman but also the lead minister at Renewed Church in Kingsport, Tennessee. Between the years of 1936 and today, hundreds of dirt–track heats, flat–track mains, endurance runs, scrambles, cross–country events, hare–scramble courses, hill climbs, motocross tracks, and field events have been held in the region to give thousands of riders a chance to compete. Some of the many competitions and special events held over the past seventy years are reported in the book.1
