Thank God for water trucks. Until 1990 or so it was a dust bowl everywhere.

A different time and place. The seeds of a great sport were sewn during the 70's. I feel priviledged to have been a part. I enjoy Hangtown, Glen Helen (well I guess Pala this year), but you're correct. It is not, nor will never be like this again. Thank Heavens for 8mm movie cameras!

"Ya know.....Smith's RC250 still looks like a 'trick' piece of machinery in 2009."

Great video - Marty Smith #9 Honda, Tony D #1 Suzuki (250 Natl Champ 1976), Danny LaPorte #7 Suzuki, Jimmy Ellis #19 CanAm, Rick Burgett #8 Yamaha, Bob Hannah #2 Yamaha (125 Natl Champ 1976) a little out of shape with his Scott boot in the air, and Kent Howerton on Husky #1 (wait a minute, can't be two #1 plates, and Kent was 500 Natl Champ in 1976 so he is #4 in this race).

I was a flagman at that race in one of the infields it was very HOT with nothing to drink! I think they paid me $10 for the whole day. I was 14 then and that was the first time to see those legends up close.

I am very happy that you posted this video. I was at this race. I was, and still am a huge Marty Smith fan. Thur your video i can once again relive that day. I was only 15 years old at the time. Now it's on my favorites. Thank you very much!
