Heath
Racing is a family-owned and operated business. It is owned
by John and Toni Heath of Wadesville, Indiana. Heath Racing
began as a result of our love for ATV riding and motocross
racing, and our love for children. John and Toni saw that
there was a need for a specialized mini bike/quad shop in
Southern Indiana due to there not being another within a
several hour radius from Wadesville. The Heath’s were, at
times, having to travel two states away to buy quads/parts
or pay a large amount in shipping. They also saw the need
for trackside support at many of the local, regional, and
national races they were attending. Thus began Heath Racing. |

History
John Heath began riding a 50cc Indian dirt bike at the age
of 2 ½ yrs. He quickly moved up to Suzukis, Kawasaki KX 80s,
and Kawasaki KX 125s through his youth and early teen years.
Andy Heath, John’s younger brother, was also involved in
motor sports at an early age. The Heath boys owned and rode
everything from mopeds, dirt bikes, three-wheelers,
four-wheelers, go carts, etc. The Heath boys also competed
in various motor sport events, including motocross racing,
circle track racing, and demolition derby. They made quite a
name for themselves within the demo derby community by
winning several events across the region. As John got older
and started a family with Toni, their love for motorsports
-- particularly ATV riding and motocross racing -- has
grown.
Their son, Corey (age 9), is
a 2-time National Champion. Their daughter, Jenna (age 6),
is in her 4th year of racing, daughter Alyssa, age 2, will
begin racing soon, and daughter Kylee, age 1, enjoys
attending each race to watch all of the excitement. In
addition, their nephew James (age 6), is beginning his 4th
year of racing as well.
The Heath’s believe that motocross racing (and racing, in
general) is a great family sport that involves great people
across the nation. They hope that Heath Racing will be able
to help racers across the nation with the bikes/quads,
parts, and accessories they need.
We had a Rider
Appreciation Day at our home in the fall (October) for local
riders and their families. Below are a few pictures of the
kids and parents carving pumpkins and enjoying being with
the other families.
