What a great thing to do with your old films. LOVE IT! I literally wallpapered one wall in my room when I was 12 with posters and Dirt Bike pages using wallpaper paste. I thought of the poor person that had to scrape all that off.

Thanks for some great filming of the golden age of motocross. I raced Carlsbad many times before 1974. Great seeing all the mx heros of the day

That was cool to watch. Brought back memories of the best years of my life spent with my dad. I to raced Carlsbad and Saddleback with CMC. I raced the 125 junior class in 73/74 on a yz125 then the 250 junior class in 75/76 on a bultaco pursang which I finally made intermediate. My number on the 125 was 139 then V90 on the pursang. The best of times

I went to Millville yesterday, it was a very good turnout above average but not that many

I had a similar experience at 12 yrs old my friends parents dropped me and him off at Millville in 1990. By our selves with $50 and a tent. We had never been to a pro race and had no idea that people partied all night, it was a wild weekend 😳

Do you have any footage of the 100cc Class? I'm trying to learn more about the 100cc Class back when it was really popular. Before it was the super mini Class which is more of an advanced class now
