Pioneers

 


Background

Her inspirations to race came from the High School Motocross that was held near her home at the late Corona Raceway in Corona, California.  Here is where she got started racing motocross.

Bonnie went on to be a crucial key in the promotion of women's motocross in the late 80's.  She served as the Press Relations Manager for the Women's Motocross Association aka: W.M.X.A..  Her contributions to the sport are what laid the ground work for today's women's motocross.
