1982 FIM 500cc World Champion, Brad Lackey viral video to promote awareness of the Danny "Magoo" Chandler Van Fund. eBay auction goes LIVE Friday, September 25, 2009

FULLERTON, CALIF. (September 24, 2009) - Brad Lackey has produced a broadband viral video on YouTube about how viewers around the world can help him and his motocross friends raise funds to build and purchase a custom, modified van for 1982 Motocross and Trophee des Nations Champion Danny "Magoo" Chandler.

The brief video includes Lackey's recollections about Chandler, a fellow Northern California racer, a recap of Chandler's accomplishments and a painful glimpse of tragic 1985 Paris Supercross crash that ended Chandler's career and changed his life forever. Lackey also discussed how today Chandler is working with younger motorcycle riders to learn to ride safer and better. Sadly, Chandler's own basic transportation needs are sorely lacking and he's in dire need of a solution; a solution that Lackey believes is a van equipped so that Chandler can maintain the work that he's dedicated himself to.

Great footage from Danny's DVD "Magoo - The Story of Danny Chandler" is also included as well as photos of the type of van Brad and friends are working so hard to purchase. Lackey hopes to raise between $75,000 and $100,000 to complete the project and establish the necessary maintenance and insurance funds. Thus far, about 25% of the proceeds have been raised.

"Jody Weisel at Motocross Action magazine suggested this idea could be a way to reach a larger audience and we all said 'Yeah, let's do it!," said Brad Lackey. "Our hope is that this video goes around the world, and reaches many of the fans and industry people who Danny touched with his incredible riding ability and personality. We encourage everyone who knows Danny and knows people who know Danny, to send the video link to their friends." Lackey added.

It also announces an eBay auction beginning on September 25th, 2009, featuring memorabilia from riders Bob Hannah, David Bailey, Tony DiStefano, Jim Holley, Jason Lawrence, Davi Millsaps, Brad himself, and more.
