Larry Huffman

Larry Huffman combined an early career as a disc jockey and a passion for
motorcycling to create a lifelong career as a race announcer.

Huffman started announcing at California's Costa Mesa Speedway in the late
1960s. Since then, he has announced at nearly every type of motorcycle race,
including supercross, arenacross, ice racing, drag racing, flat track, road
racing, speedway and hillclimb. He has announced at motorcycle races in
nearly every major city in the United States, Canada, and Japan.

Huffman was the announcer at the first Superbowl of Motocross at the Los
Angeles Coliseum in 1972, and was soon after nicknamed "Supermouth" by the
Los Angeles Times for his 300 word-per-minute delivery and his ability to
excite crowds. He is credited with being an integral part of early
Supercross shows and is widely recognized as the original "Voice of
Supercross."

Huffman created and produced the first motorcycle magazine television show
to air on a major American network, "Motorcycle World with Larry Huffman,"
which was followed by a radio version of the show that aired in many
California cities. Huffman co-wrote and co-produced the motion picture "On Any Sunday
II," and provided announcer roles for numerous TV shows, including Charlie's
Angels, CHiPs, Miami Vice, Fantasy Island and Knight Rider. Huffman was the
announcer in the 1994 award-winning Miller Lite "Weinerdog Winternationals"
commercial that aired during the Olympics, the World Series and the
Superbowl.

Huffman has served as a color commentator for ABC, CBS, NBC, TNN, ESPN and
Speedvision. Many racers have benefited from Huffman's in-studio PR course,
where they learned to improve their television interview skills. Graduates
of the course include Jeff Ward, Rick Johnson, Mark Barnett, Scott Parker,
Wayne Rainey, Kent Howerton and Eddie Lawson.

At the time of his induction into the Hall of Fame in 2008, Huffman lived in
Big Bear City, California, where he operates his PR and announcing business,
Larry Huffman Enterprises.
