With chart topping hits, “Live Like You Were Dying” and “Grown Men Don’t Cry”, Tim McGraw is currently co-headlining the Soul2Soul: The World Tour. A nationwide celebration of country music, which started on April 7, 2017, will end on October 27, 2017. For the Soul2Soul: The World Tour, McGraw is scheduled to perform seventy live concerts along with another country icon Faith Hill.

 

This tour marks the first time the husband wife country duo will be on tour together since 2007. The biggest attraction of this tour will be the timeless McGraw-Hill duets as well as their solo hits.

If you’ve been a fan of McGraw and Hill, then get your Tim McGraw tickets from here. These tickets will be hard to get as the Soul2Soul: The World Tour is expected to be a sold-out event.

Early Years & Influences

Tim McGraw was born in Delhi, Louisiana and raised in various towns of the state. Brought up by his mother, Elizabeth “Betty” Ann D'Agostino, McGraw is a biological son of Tug McGraw, a former star pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets.

In his younger years, McGraw showed no interest in music. Instead, he was crazy about baseball and even got into the University of Louisiana at Monroe on a baseball scholarship. It was here that he began playing the guitar and performed for some extra cash. While playing baseball, he suffered a knee injury, which consequently ended his professional baseball dreams.

As a country music lover, McGraw was highly inspired by Keith Whitley, a famous country music singer. He was so impressed with Whitley that he moved to Nashville the day his idol died in 1989.

3rd Annual Ryan Villopoto Amateur Motocross Cup

3rd Annual RV Cup Announces New Date June 19-21

McCleary, WA. (February 3, 2020) – In coordination with the American Motorcyclists Association (AMA), the 3rd Annual Ryan Villopoto Amateur Motocross Cup (aka: RV Cup) is moving to its new date, June 19-21, 2020.  This new date will satisfy the local racing scene while allowing riders coming to the west coast for Mammoth MX youth week to find an even better reason to come from the east.

 

The RV Cup wasn’t supposed to copy what everyone else was doing.  It was set up based on UIL baseball age groups.  The Cup’s strength comes from building youth riders into racers.  This is why the RV Cup offers 7 different 51cc classes, 5 uncommon 65cc classes, 12 (yes, twelve) distinctly-unique 85cc classes, three radical 125cc classes, and age groups for 250/450 B and C riders.  The Cup does offer one Vet (30+) classes as well.

 

The Cup is also designed for track time.  One look at the laps turned at the 2019 RV Cup and you too will see why riders who have attended the first two years know how much seat time they get.  Let’s not forget about “timed practice” on the day before racing begins.  Each rider receives their gate pick for the 1st moto based on their lap times from practice just like the pros.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … It is important for me to offer a big event for my home state riders,” said Ryan Villopoto.  “My parents always had to travel long distances so I could be seen.  With the RV Cup at my track, now I can offer an event for our region that I never had.  We want to provide a stepping stone for some and an opportunity for others to see what it’s like to go to Loretta’s before they ever go.  The AMA offering #1 plates for our 3rd year is kind of a bonus.”

Grays Harbor ORV Park (GHORV) is located 18 miles west of the state capitol, Olympia. GHORV Park is nestled on the north side of the 110,000 acres Capitol State Forest. The forest offers the best of outdoor activities including motorized trails, mountain bike trails, hiking, horseback riding, with orientated campgrounds.

With the date change, early registration has moved up to May 1st.  That’s only three short months before online registration opens.  ARE YOU READY for the PNW summer to get here?

  • ABOUT Payton Smith is proof that working hard, taking risks and finding just a little luck really does pay off.

2020 Cowboy Cross

 


Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 5 PM PDT
Ellensburg, Washington, Ellensburg, Washington

If you’re looking for a little adrenalin bump this weekend, the second annual Cowboys Cross at the Ellensburg Rodeo Arena Saturday is just the ticket. There’ll be a motorcycle racing with a little kick and bull riding with a lot of buck, and it should have everybody on their feet all night long.


Matt Webb at Webb Powersports set out to create a truly unique extreme sports event by combining bull riding and Endurocross and running the two events simultaneously.
“It’s been a vision of mine for eight-nine years,” Webb said. “This is the second year now and it was well received last year. I coral off a small section of the arena for the bull riding. And we’ll race on the other end, going back to back. The way it works is that we’re staging the next motorcycle race while the bull riding is going on and getting the bulls loaded and ready when the motorcycles are racing. So there’s very little down time during the night.”
