Motocross History
There has not been a great deal of historical research about motocross. Most motorcycle historians accept that motocross originated somewhere in France.
Motocross was originally called scrambling in the UK.
The earliest motorcycles were little more than bicycles with small internal combustion engines attached. The most common types of events were track races, endurance trials, and hill climbs.
During the 1930s, motorcycle racing became enormously popular in Great Britain.
In the late 1960's, the European masters of motocross began to export their talents and technology to North America.
Today, the AMA U.S. Motocross and Supercross Championships are the nation's best-attended motorsport on dirt.

The blue flag
A light blue flag, sometimes with a diagonal orange or yellow stripe, informs a driver that a faster car is approaching and that the driver should move aside to allow one or more faster cars to pass. If the flag is waved, it indicates to the driver that the fast car is on its tail. In most series, the blue flag is not mandatory; that is, drivers obey it only as a courtesy to their fellow racers. In Formula One (in which the blue is lighter and does not have a stripe), if the driver about to be lapped ignores three waved blue flags in a row, he is required to make a drive-through penalty. In Champ Car, this can be upgraded. A pair of waving blue flags displayed from the starter's stand, known as the Chief Steward's blue flag, order a driver to give way to faster traffic or be black-flagged.
