Show Notes
Step back in time with James Dekoker, a true pioneer of desert racing during the 1980s. Riding legendary machines like the Honda 200X and 250R, James competed against powerhouse teams like Honda, all while unknowingly living through a pivotal chapter in ATC racing history.
Now at 70 years old and missing a leg, James is still pushing the sport forward. He founded the American Trike Team, bringing together both seasoned veterans and a new generation of 3-wheeler racers. Their mission is to preserve and celebrate the legacy of three-wheelers, with their sights set on an upcoming 1,000-mile race in the U.S.
Join host Leonard Duncan as he and James discuss the roots of West Coast ATC racing, the culture that surrounded it, and the exciting revival happening today. From development to desert dominance, this episode captures the passion, grit, and spirit that defined an era.
