Livin’ Large
Wally Levy comes from the consummate motocross family. His father, Walter Levy, promoted races in BC’s lower mainland for 22 years at Little Rock Raceway. Wally has two brothers, Henry and Bob, who both raced before him. His sisters, Betty and Annie, were fixtures at the BC races and lap-scored at Little Rock. From a young age, Wally was destined to live a motorcycle lifestyle.
Wally’s first race was in 1972 when he was 15 years old, and he lost no time working his way into the expert class and BC championship wins in 1976 and 1977. I first met Wally when we worked together for a summer at MotoPark back in 1983.
That era was at the tail end of Wally’s career as a racer; with his wife Cheryl expecting their first child, Wally had set his sights on working in the powersports industry and providing for his new family. But before that, in 1979 I had first seen Wally when he turned up at the Senior national race in Austin, Manitoba driving a Dodge van with two bikes and a head full of confidence. He wheeled into the track just as the support expert class practice started and threw open the doors to his van, unloaded his Kawasakis, signed in on the way to the line, kicked everyone’s ass, took home all the money and moved on to the next event. I thought, “Wow, that’s how the pros do it. “
Motivated by Ontario’s Jay Kimber’s success on works Kawasakis, Levy moved to Team Green in 1978. His best year in the Canadian National Motocross Championship series was in 1979, when he finished third in the support class at the 500cc Motocross Grand Prix held at Mosport Park, and earned the national No. 7 for the season. Wally signed his first factory contract with Manley Kawasaki for the 1980 season as Ross Pederson’s teammate, and continued his racing success, earning the national No. 11 in 1980 and No. 10 in 1981.
In 1982, Levy rode Maicos for Rick Sheren’s R & M Motorsports team alongside Stan Currington, again finishing in the top ten in the Canadian National Motocross Championship. Wally and Cheryl moved to Ontario to live and work at MotoPark for the 1983 and 1984 seasons; Wally taught riding schools and rode Yamahas for the MotoPark team.
Wally’s racing career waned yet he stayed in the powersports industry with stints at Parts Canada and Action Accessories as a sales representative, eventually becoming a dealership owner. He also spent nine years working with the Future West organization and the Arenacross series, a job that evolved into travelling to the UK to announce at indoor races on the other side of the Atlantic. Levy remembers the era with a sense of pride: “I met a lot of big-name international riders such as Jeremy McGrath, Stephan Everts, Larry Ward and Damon Bradshaw. ” As race announcer Wally took over after other announcers were making less-than-flattering comments about riders. “I felt so strongly about making every rider feel like a hero, ” he said. “Riders can hear you when they are riding, so I took over the announcing and made it my mission in life to promote and encourage young riders. “
Not everyone knows this fact but Wally is ever the entertainer. He is an accomplished musician, and credits meeting a number of good friends such as Blackfoot Motosports owner Doug MacRae and Triumph Canada’s Chris Ellis through motorcycles, then cementing the friendships with music.
When asked about the current state of motocross, Levy was less opinionated: “Obviously the Canadian riders are excellent, the camaraderie appears to still be in place; it is good to see riders such as Dylan Delaplace and Kyle Springman traveling together, they will make friendships that will last their lifetime. “
Levy says motocross racing contributed vastly to his many lifelong friendships and lasting memories. “We thought nothing of driving 24 hours to Regina to race, we lived in our vans for months on end. We bonded like brothers in arms from that experience, ” says Wally. Fondly, he remembers the life lessons only racing can teach, and the little pieces of advice he is left with after being taught by the wiser. His friend Bill Fullerton is known is a detail guy; “Everything has its place and things need to be done right, ” is Bill’s Mantra. “To this day every morning when I close up a cereal box I remember Bill saying, ‘Do things right, the box should be closed the right way. ‘
“These days, we relive our moto-history via Facebook and we meet at events to reminisce with old friends, ” continues Levy. “I am still in touch with guys such as Stan Currington, Jay Kimber, Kevin Ferguson, Larry MacKenzie and Jari Heinonen. Every year we meet up at the Kamloops national and sit around the fire with guitars, it is one of the best feelings in the world, ” adds Wally fondly with a hint of emotion in his voice.
Wally Levy is one of the genuine leading players in Canadian motocross who made the sport better for the riders who came in later. These days, Wally spends his time with his family and his passion, a successful vintage motorcycle meet called Vintage in the Valley where thousands of visitors feast their eyes on some of the nicest old motorcycles in existence.
