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 black flag
The solid black flag is used to summon a driver to the pits. It is usually used to punish a driver or team for disobeying the rules, but may also be used when a car is suffering a dangerous mechanical failure, such as a loose hood or dragging bumper. The car number of the summoned driver is displayed in a designated place near the flagstand or occasionally on the flag itself. Black flags can be waved at all observation posts simultaneously to order all drivers to clear the track after the starter waves the red flag.
