Not the best quality but hey, it's 37 year old 8mm film shot on a cloudy day. If you've got a keen eye you can pick out a few well known riders amongst the the bikes. If you care to comment with a rider name and time in the video I'll add the annotations. The real treat is the motocross sidecars which put on a heck of a show. I was fascinated by them and thought for a time I'd like to try sidehack racing...I'm older now and wiser.

I was also at this race and have several still shots of it. I was probably 13. Anyway, here are some names and numbers from my photos so viewers can try to identify the riders. Joel Robert was #15. Ake Jonsson was #27. Bengt Aberg was #18. Roger DeCoster was #17. One of the Jones brothers was #7, Rex Staten was #65. Tom Rapp was #20. Marty Tripes was # 14. Greg Robertson was #36. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that race being the first appearance of the Honda Elsinore.
