Dirt Diggers Motorcycle Club

Dirt Diggers Motorcycle Club The Dirt Diggers M.C. promotes and organizes Desert, Grand Prix and Motocross events. We are a non profit organization affiliated with the AMA & D37

The Dirt Diggers were formed at the end of the Second World War in 1945. A few of the founding members were scout riders in the war. These brave souls rode Harley's and Indians with no suspension, as this is all that was available. Many of the bikes were war surplus. The first president was a man named Neil Hansen. In the forties one of the first cross-country events was called a paper chase. A ri

der was sent 15 minutes ahead and spread little bits of paper wherever he turned to mark his course. The first rider to catch him was declared the winner. The winner would then help write down finishing positions. Later throwing peanut bags filled with lime marked the courses. The BLM stopped that and surveyors tape has been used ever since. The Dirt Diggers held field meets and races in what was then Venice flats, now known as Marina Del Rey. Other races were held at White Horse, Crater Camp, along with Mulholland Drive. To advertise some of these races Jack Baldwin would wear billboards and wheelie down the main streets of Santa Monica. The Dirt Diggers are responsible for many firsts in our sport. The first all girl race was put on by the Dirt Diggers called the Petticoat scrambles. They were the first club to put on a night scrambles, the first to have a program for a race and the first club to put on a F.I.M. sanctioned race in the United States. This was the well-known Hopetown, where they set some major attendance records with an astounding thirty eight thousand in attendance over one weekend. Some of the racers from Europe being the well known Roger DeCoster, Torsten Hallman, and Joel Robert. Throughout the years the club has been through many hardships at times having as few as three members. The club is now very healthy due to the dedication and enthusiasm of the current members.

A Heartfelt Farewell 🕊️🏁
It is with heaviest of hearts that we share the news of the passing of one of our beloved members, Nate Sciacqua Sr. His son, Nate Jr. and wife Marlene Sciacqua shared, “He was home with family around him. His feet and hands were moving like he was shifting gears, grabbing clutch and twisting throttle. He was 85 years old and one super cool Dude.”
Indeed, he was. Nate leaves behind a treasure trove of wonderful memories, captivating stories, and invaluable wisdom, along with a few pages in the book Monkey Butt by Rick Sieman. His win of the 1974 Greenhorn Enduro is just one of many accomplishments in the racing world.
Godspeed, Nate. May the trails in the sky be dust-free, and your throttle be wide open. 🙏🏼🕊️
