AMAZING WONDERFUL VERY NICE QSL 💯

Back when they all ran XRs that was "thee" event to be at. A 4 or 6 inch square of plywood with a 2x4 nailed to one edge made for perfect seats on the hills. Saw Parker get off an XR at the jump when the 600s were really coming on, I wanna say chasing Carr on a 600. He laid there long enough for the restart. What a place thanks for this video

No fast 2-strokes. Only overweight, under-powered 4-strokes.

My hero. First time spectating at Ascot at 17, mind blown. Go into pits after the race and see Gary's custom-painted Trackmaster Triumph sparkling under the lights and dreamed of someday racing at Ascot. Couple years later, as a first year pro (Novice) on a Trackmaster Suzuki twin, won a few heat races and earned enough point to move to Junior. Built a Champion 750 Yamaha. Just a middle-of-the-pack guy at Ascot, but won regularly on the Corona half-mile. Rolled into the pits at Corona after one win and heard the announcer say that I'd broken Gary Scott's lap record. Wasn't sure whether to believe it or not, but I was riding well. Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey were also regulars at Corona at the time, fortunately for me, though, they were still riding 125s. So many great memories.

Eldora Speedway was the place to watch these guys.

I was there with my Dad .

Helluva job #58 - right there at the end with with his jello forks...yee ha!!

All the California riders in this video . Graham, Chandler Felice, Hames and Scott Pearson.

I remember Springer and Nixon having way to much fun back in the day.

Later in the 70's I lived on Umbarger Rd. right behind the track along the back straight. In the early 70's my family would stop at the SPur on Monterey Rd and have breakfast then go to the races. I never race the mile but I raced the 1/2 mile many time both as an amateur and a pro. Man I loved those days. I didn't realize how much until I knew that I would never be able to be there again. Those days are gone. No more track, no more racing, no more fun in life.

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.

What the hell ? No subscribe ror me. Thats BS caused by a D. head. Where is the rest of the race ? You know, the best part .

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

The opening bike..ATK..

John Archer -peewee Herman impersonator. Where is he now,?

Road America

does anyone remember a local San Jose area guy named Kevin Lowery that used to race there.

R.I.P. "ROCKET" Ricky Graham.

Remember when Honda kicked the Harley-Davidson's asses AMA made Honda air restricted by 2 mm on the carbs. Harley-Davidson pays off another rule change

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

Why don't they I.d. the bikes.

What a great track.

How come the straights are so short???

Looks more like San Jose Half Mile than Louisville

Best rock show ever .....twist it Sammy...... 🌀🏁

This takes me back to some of the best parts of my childhood.

Watching this Grand National on KZfaq never gets old. Poovey's team had the bike dialed in. It looks like Terry was dialed in too!

We were there. Awesome racing.

I grew up with the Scott Bros. Watched Gary race from we were just young kids. We had an awesome time growing up.

I miss these days

Lima is a much better track. Pea gravel that to this day never grooves up.

Seen a couple guys not survive that exact same crash......

Before I started riding at Ascot we used to park down by the bridge over the canal the flows behind the back strait away. We'd walk along the canal then climb over the fence and sneak into the pits, or watch from those big billboards. Still got a jar of Ascot dirt on my bench.....

This was the day of great racing. Sure wish we could get back to that era.

Think I was there

#MM #GONZO #FLINTMICHIGAN

Two stroke-framers in the Astrodome, awesome 🤙🏼

Mertens #53 Hell of a Heat race..4th, Son of a bitch..😜

Flat track was better then than it is now.

Man, what racing!

Grew up just a few miles from the track - close enough to pedal my 20" bicycle over there and watch from under the fence in the Sammy Tanner days. Saw some great 1/2 miles + TT's there over the years later when I could afford to buy tickets.

Thank you for posting , My home town And see all typs off events diring that time frame. San Jose has changed greatly. Thanks again.

Thanks Kieth Day for your AMA thrills but,also for your long time California sprint car racing support. Your #22 360/410 sprinter has been a champion at trophy Cup and a fav of mine for years.

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

Bostrum is massive illicit drug user. And how any manufacturer temporarily signed said drug addict is beyond me.

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

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

Better muted. The announcer needs to shut up.

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.
