I was there. Having a perfect view of Hannah emerging from the screw U with hands raised in the air after passing Johnny is something I'll likely never forget.

This was my very first trip to Unadilla, given the fact that I was coming from Massachusetts. I remember being on the far side of the track just under the pizza stand when the gate dropped for the first qualifier. I remember seeing Rick Ryan's day-glow green chest protector through all the morning fog as he railed around the only tree on the course after his holeshot. I was sixteen years old, and I never felt more alive as I did at that very moment. I was a HUGE motocross fan, and I was a walking encyclopedia because I knew everything there was to know about the sport. My Unadilla experience changed me for life as I never participated in that level of partying before. I showed up on Saturday morning and stayed the weekend on top of the far hill. Back then, they would do a half-assed search of your car for booze and whatever else that was forbidden. We pulled a trick where we emptied out our water bottles and put our vodka in them, and filled the vodka bottles with water. They immediately grabbed the vodka bottles and let us in. My friends stashed their weed in the air filter of the car. Mission accomplished. The rest was history and was the best weekend in my entire life. Now Unadilla is like going to church. Such a shame.

Eric KeHoe was doing some good battling with Billy Liles. Great video. Hate what happen to Vimond after the season with the fall and injury at the Paris Supercross. He was a great rider, person and champion.

Bob hannah was and will always be THE MAN !!!

I was watching Hannah's rear suspension that was designed by Eyvind Boyesen. As complicated as it looked, it provided incredibly smooth action. Compared to O'Mara's bike Hannah's suspension seemed smoother, but Johnny was just too damned fast and in shape for Hannah to be competitive with him.

I had no idea the Pink Panther raced in the states too, he's a legend. i would have killed to watch this on TV back in the days. We only had magazines in the old continent.

Hannah roosts them a bit during the interview at 5:25. Always thought that was hilarious!

Hannah always rode right on the edge! All the way pinned! He looked likea dish rag flapping off the back of the bike! Watched him smoke the pack at Pontiac a few times!

He was being lowered from the ceiling of the Paris Supercross on his Factory Yamaha YZ250 when the cables snapped. He fell all the way to the ground breaking his BACK and Leg.
