A short video from my 8mm film taken at a typical weekend of sportsman motocross racing at Carlsbad Raceway in 1969. Also some brief shots of sidecar road racing taking place at the same time as the motocross.
Devil's Drop....rad. Best place to sit..you could see almost the whole track from there, plus you always had a chance to catch the goggles from the winner.
carlsbad i might say that bmx was born in carlsbad, but ive seen pictures from 1968 where two teens are welding a mono-shock in to a 20"schiwinn frame and preparing for a dirtbike race in mexicali, so which town deserves it?
EPIC!! Pure History!!!
