Off-road rider, driver

“Larry Roeseler, or ‘LR’ as he has long been called, will go down in American racing lore as perhaps the fastest and most versatile off-road athlete that we have ever produced,” wrote Dirt Bike in 2018. SCORE calls him “arguably the greatest multi-discipline SCORE desert racer in history.” A superstar on two wheels and four, Roeseler has been the top overall motorcycle or car pilot at the Baja 1000 a record 13 times. Roeseler was fastest motorcycle 10 times (1976, ‘78, ‘79, ‘80, ‘88, ‘89, ‘90, ‘91, ‘93, ‘94) and the fastest four-wheel vehicle three times (2004, ‘05, ‘08). In addition, Roeseler has been a 12-time overall winner of the Baja 500 and a 10-time gold medalist in the International Six Days Enduro, considered by many the “Olympics of Motorcycling.” He won the AMA National Enduro Reliability Series in 1990. Roeseler also is a seven-time winner of the Virginia City Grand Prix and a multi-time winner of the Tecate Enduro. Roeseler retired from motorcycle racing in 1994 and was inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2012.
