Langston Motorsports Blog
The Langstons have always been involved in Motor Racing especially Moto X. Starting in South Africa, Gerald raced MX in the 70’s and Shifter Karts in the early 80’s . In 1988 he stopped racing to focus his attention to Grant, who was starting to dominate the Mini Motocross scene. By 1997 when Grant was 15 the decision was made to move to Europe to chase the World MX Championship. It was at this time that a business morphed into being. Friends and fellow racers asked Gerald to source hard to find parts and bring them back to S.A. It was not long before these favors grew into a business and someone was needed to receive and distribute the parts in S.A . Gerald approached Hans De Beer to be his South African partner and Langston Racing Imports and Distribution was born from Hans’s home double garage. Soon after Grant injected some of his winnings to help grow the business and purchase our own Warehouse.

Towing With Your UTV
