Grew up in Texas, watching Terry Poovey race at Ross Downs. It was always a big deal when Mike Kidd, Bubba Shobert and Terry got together. They put on a hell of a show.

Nothing can beat the sound of Harley’s racing pass the grandstand. Man I miss those days at the Sacremento mile.

Grew up in Flint, MI. So many of these guys were our hometown heroes. I was a young kid when the Michigan Mafia dominated. Good memories.

I was a Ricky Graham fan and it was a sad day when He was gone forever killed in a house fire! He gave my son a trophy at a local Half mile event for winning a district Championship. He will never be forgotten in this sport!

Ricky G you will never be forgotten. Dave despain was so good at broadcasting motorcycle racing.

I remember Parker, Chris Carr and Jay Springsteen. I loved watching this on the Speed channel.

Some of the biggest names in modern Era Flat Track .. R.IP. Rickey Graham ..

Ricky...a ,personal friend..Salinas and monterey will never forget you...Yamaha Bill

This era was the most interesting to me. I was lucky enough to watch Chris Carr race since he was four years old out at Lodi Cycle Bowl. Watching him as a kid you knew he was gonna go a long way with it. And did he ever. The competitors were very interesting in the 80's. Parker, Springsteen, Graham, Shobert, Poovey and so many others. What a great era.

I watched all these guys race at ascot park many times. I took pictures with a Polaroid camera mounted on top of a solI'd post. I could push that button 6 times and get 6 pictures of the riders technique on on ,ALL ON ONE POLAROID. try that today. Taught me a lot of the exact skill set needed to race. I once hurt both my calves lifting weights to hard, so I nailed 2 two by four boards to the heal of my shoes to walk around wherever I wanted to. CRAZY, RIGHT. THOSE WERE THE DAYS. IT GETS BETTER. when the race was over, I spent 2 hours looking for Kenny Roberts to get his signature. Finally found him, me with two by wood nailed to my heel of my shoes, a kid from ela. But he was very nice. Think he appreciated my determination 😁😁😁😉😉😆😆😆

Used to see them at the old San Jose mile!

these guys have balls that we wish we had

2kooooolsville!!!! I got to paint for Ricky graham in seaside,CA. I think I did this bike( 3 number plates) great times!!!

Poor Rodney Farris, Who knows how far he could have gone!!

Awesome! Also the bikes.. Now a want to build a bike like this! 👍🏻

Eldora Speedway was the place to watch these guys.

These guys are awesome

AJ Herrera number 42 e Santa Barbara will never be forgotten and my great-uncle Tony guitarist Aztec racing my dad Robert Bob guitars

Has anyone been to the San Jose Mile? I have. 1981. My second cousins lived very close so I walked to the track. I was in the Marine Corps at Pendleton at the time.

Remember AJ Herrera from Santa Barbara California he was up and comingin memory of AJ Herrera and I want to say hi to his dad Tony this is from Fred guiteras I live in northwest Tacoma Washington I hope you see this Tony AJ Herrera will never be forgot

Nice to see they put some hay bales in the corners. When men were men

Hall of fame were all in one race.!

At 1:15 you can see rider #20 on the outside, look to his left and make eye contact with the rider on the inside. He probably yelled at him and told him to hold his line, don't force me outside and don't cause me to crash. Later he gives him the hand signal to Move Over/Don't Crowd Me.

Great balls of fire

I miss the xr750 Greatest face bike ever made

Man, what racing!

If you remember ascot Gardena California Sammy tender the flying flea Gene Romero Jimmy filice Ascot those were the days this is from Fred guitarist Tony guitarists nephew remember the Pomona half mile in memory of all the great ones Scotty Parker Ricky Graham jumpin Gene Romero skip van lewin that's when racing was racing

These guys are nuts. What nerve to lay them bikes out going that fast

Rock Island Baby

Tough guys riding fast in dangerous conditions.

REAL AMA racing

I’m looking for footage on Rod Spencer from San Jose,California

I only watch the oldies seems more dramatic than races today.I want to alter a pursang to flat track so hopefully i might find one soon.I wanted a Astro but above my pay grade

Was there in 95 I think, does anyone know what year this race is

Road America

was this back in 90's ?? i remember watching similar line up at sacramento

How does one human being with balls the size of watermelons actuall fit onto the seat of a Harley Davidson XR750? Fascinating.

I'm not seeing Joe Kopp#43. Must be when he broke his leg 🤷‍♂️

I want to see video of the riders going through the turns in High Definition and in slow motion. Does anyone have any links?

Oh for the days of Speedworld, Speedvision and Speed TV. P.S. Nobody like Dave Despain either.

Had to end on Cupcakes crash. Nuts-

What year is this race?

GREAT RACING ,,THE BEST OF ALL TIME ,,NOW DAYS IS NOT WORTH WATCHING

Y’all see how competitive a larger bunch was The racing now is nauseating

Terry outrides them in the corners. Can't beat them on the HP.

What happened to the end?

Friends, this is flat track racing. Sure wish it was like this today.

No front brake

early 90s right?

Post the entire race.....WTF

I practice with Ricky Graham in Salinas Ca racing over. Hupdeedoos as fast as we could I was never able to keep close to him he was fast He made it look so easy flying over hill to work out arms and legs tried to stay with him buy never

Who do these guys think they are, slidin around on them fancy machines, and all I gots me is some Allstate Twingle that makes a wheezing noise when it starts up. Yep.

not complete. leaves you hanging

So in case ya'll wanna KNOW who won...Parker.

either show the whole race (and winners) or jump in the lake VERY disappointing

Where the hell is Springsteen?

What year was this?

Wtf I watched all this for nothing who won the damn race

Oprah holds the track record. Really.

No technical information? Who's riding what type/make of bike? No info is no professional or informative.

One of my hot rod, friends and I have a joke.I hear a bunch of noise but I Don't see anything moving well.These are some Harley Davidson's.That actually make noise and move
