Honda HRC Progressive’s charity auction of SuperMotocross bodywork lists 39 lots, and the descriptions of seven of Jett Lawrence’s eight lots say his bike kit was display-only at the race. Honda’s October 2 press release describes the parts as bodywork the team used at round 2 of the series and doesn’t mention the distinction.
The release, datelined Carson, California, announces white Cycra plastic signed by Jett and Hunter Lawrence, Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas, decorated with characters from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s Imaginary Friends Society, a cartoon cast the foundation uses to explain cancer to children. All proceeds go to the foundation, and bidding closes October 9 at 9 p.m. ET.
The auction runs on GiveSmart, where we counted the lots on Monday, October 5: 39 of them, numbered 100 to 138, 27 with bids. The 92 bids add up to $3,405 in current high bids, and 12 lots have none. The lowest prices on the board are $25 for the Progressive aprons, none of which has a bid, and $40 for most fenders and fork guards.
Lots by rider
Hunter Lawrence has the most lots, 11, and the most bids, 32. Jett Lawrence has fewer lots and more money. The listing puts both Lawrences on CRF450Rs and Shimoda and Hymas on CRF250Rs.
| Rider | Bike | Lots | Bids | Combined high bids |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jett Lawrence | CRF450R | 8 | 26 | $1,080 |
| Hunter Lawrence | CRF450R | 11 | 32 | $975 |
| Jo Shimoda | CRF250R | 10 | 18 | $760 |
| Chance Hymas | CRF250R | 10 | 16 | $590 |
The two Lawrence number plates, lots 100 and 101, lead at $350 each. Jett’s has nine bids, the most of any lot, and Hunter’s has eight. Shimoda’s number plate is next at $200. Beyond plates, the listing covers fenders, shrouds, fork guards, aprons and one seat, lot 134, Hunter Lawrence’s, at $50. The release calls everything plastic.
Display only
Lot 100’s description says Jett Lawrence’s bike kit was for display only at the race. It sits beside a note repeated across the listing: much of the bodywork is race-worn, and its condition may differ from the promotional photos. The Hunter Lawrence, Jo Shimoda and Chance Hymas lots we opened do not carry the display-only line. Of Jett’s eight lots, six have bids, including a $250 left number plate, lot 131, with six bids of its own.
Neither document says whether Lawrence’s bike ran other plastic that weekend, how many of the 39 lots were raced, or how a display part differs from a raced one in the condition notes. Bidders who need to know can ask the foundation, whose contact the listing gives as akaras@curethekids.org.
The foundation and the terms
The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation says its supporters have raised more than $65 million since it launched in 1991, and that Honda’s involvement began with Ride for Kids, a series of motorcycle events. This is the third year Honda HRC Progressive and the foundation have teamed up at a SuperMotocross round. Brandon Wilson, American Honda’s manager of racing and experiential marketing, said he expects fans to do their part by “bidding generously and often.” The release gives no total for what the earlier collaborations raised.
Bidders must register on GiveSmart. Winners outside the US pay shipping separately, arranged after the auction closes.
Honda’s racing department has had hardware in front of buyers since August. We covered the Sebring-winning Acura prototype Honda is selling and has promised to rebuild, how the HRC Heritage program works, and the 20-plus championship machines Honda took to Monterey.
The auction closes October 9 at 9 p.m. ET. Should charity auctions of race-team parts have to label which pieces were raced and which sat on a display bike?
