Racing History
Danny is a total motor head and while living in
South Africa, competed in
Motocross, Supercross, Enduros and Hare
Scrambles in South Africa, winning several local
and state titles. He also competed in the famous
Rook of Africa Rally in 1984 and 1985. Danny was
part of the wonderfully talented Blue Stratos
Kawasaki Team that was the dominant force in
motocross in South Africa in the 1980's. This
team produced some well respected winners
including Greg Albertyn who won the World
Motocross Championship title three times in
1992, '93 and'94, as well as the AMA 250cc title
in 1999. The team also included Robbie Herring
(Multiple UK Champion) and who was on the 1994
UK Motocross Des Nations team that ended the 13
year US winning streak. Rob is the current
(2006) manager the UK Motocross Des Nations
Team.
Danny started his racing career late (at the age
of 21), and made up for his lack of experience
with enthusiasm and embraced the theory that if
you're not crashing you're not going fast
enough, and you will never find your limits.
This attitude combined with large gonads and a
small brain resulted in way too many trips to
the hospital during his racing career. A really
bad motocross accident in a race at Eshowe
Kwazulu in 1987 hospitalized Danny. During
surgery he lapsed into a coma that lasted
several weeks. Despite being administered his
last rites, he made a full recovery, and went
back racing 6-months later. Unfortunately he
never got back to full speed and retired from
motocross in 1988.
  
  
Motor Racing Schools and Vehicle Driving
Experiences
Starting in 2005 Danny started to attend several Driving Schools and Vehicle Driving
Experiences to get back to the thrill of racing
that he missed so much. Here are a few links to
photos and reports on various events that Danny
has attended in the USA over the past few years
