Tallon Vohland competed for Team Suzuki in AMA Pro Racing in 1990 and ’91, then moved to Europe to race for Team Carpi-Moto in the 1992 FIM 125cc Motocross World Championship. He later raced for Team Pepsi Honda Becchis in the 250cc class and Team Jan de Groot Kawasaki from 1995-1996. He raced for Team Rinaldi Yamaha in 1997 and ’98, and then returned to the US to race for the FMF Honda organization in the 1999 AMA 125cc championship. His performance caught the attention of Mitch Payton, who hired him for the 2000 racing season. Now, 24 years later, Tallon and his 20-year-old son Max have formed a father and son duo in the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki race team in the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Max grew up watching videos of his father’s races and decided to follow in his footsteps when he was around 16 years old. Tallon was a supportive race dad, but now that Max is a pro racer, he feels like there’s more pressure and expectations. Despite the challenges, they both feel fortunate to be part of the team and are focused on winning races.
