·        First tell us a little about your self…

 My name is Becky Koons. I have been in the MX Industry since 1985. I am originally from Ohio and have worked several tracks in Ohio. I moved to Texas in 1999 to work for a company called Pace Motor sports, I was the Arenacross Office Manager since 2004 to present I am the Data Entry and office manager for the BooKoo Arenacross Series.

·        How did you get involved in Motocross?

    I used to do registration and scoring for a friend of mine  in Ohio who eventually got bought out by Pace Motor sports.

·        Were the first track you worked at?

       A track in Ohio called Action Sports.

·        Did you ever race?

        No Just play ride.

·        Now since the BooKoo Arenacross is over what are you doing now?

        I am working on Spring and Summer Promotions. I have already done two major ones. Oak Hill GNC and the Hangtime LL Qualifier in Akron Indiana. I will also be at Ponca City and Loretta Lynn's.

·        What’s going to be new to the BooKoo Arenacross this year?

         Not for sure I think we may have more venues 14 instead of 12 and of course our goal is to up the contingency. This year we were right at 3.5 million in contingency.

·        What’s the biggest race you have been too?

        Of course Amateur I would have to say Loretta Lynn's and Pro’s US Open in Vegas.

·        Are there any other forms of racing you would like to try and why?

        I think super moto would be interesting and also I love pitbikes just because I like to play ride and because Erin Normoyle is riding this weekend in the pit bike race this weekend in Vegas. She is Ms. BooKoo Arenacross.

·        What do you like to do in your free time?

        I like to work out and I love to go Tanning and hang out with my friends.

·        Do you play any Motocross games?

        No not really. We do have an Arenacross game though !!

·        If there’s one thing in Motocross you would like to change what would it be and why?

        Free entries for all the riders. I know how expensive this sport is and I wish that we could do this for everyone. Being in the industry I have been on both sides of the fence as a promoter and a spectator.

·        Is there any advice you would like to give out to any racers or promoters?

        To a racer I would like to say give it your best shot and remember to have fun at a sport u live, love, and breath. As a promoter I would have to say I give 100 percent attention to each rider. Whether it be to stop and say hello, complain or just a grip session. I try and work with everyone and if you have questions send me an email or call me. Our website is www.racearenacross.com.

·        In closing is there anyone you would like to Thank? 

        I would like to thank DAT MX Events for everything they did for me at Fort Worth. These guys give 100 percent to everything they do. Also Daniel Jackson for being a great friend . We also would like to thank all our sponsors BooKoo Energy Drink and everyone who supported the BooKoo Arenacross Series. Especially the riders out there and congratulations to Josh Demuth the BooKoo Arenacross Champion.
