Red Bull Catalina Grand Prix 2010 - Race #1 Start

Race 1 - 8:15, December 4, 2010 - Classic Skill A & B - Vintage Skill A & B - Evolution Skill A & B - Premier LWT Skill A & B - Premier 500 Skill A & B - Premier Open Twins Skill A & B.

For eight years from 1951 to 1957, a competition event that started as a way to promote and sell motorcycles evolved into a small tradition where the greatest motorcycle racers of the day would make the then spring time seaborne trip to the Island, that featured a Casino and was once the spring training ground of the Chicago Cubs, to break in their equipment for the upcoming AMA points paying season in the "Grand National" circuit. This event became known as the Catalina Grand Prix.

Welcome to a new era which starts out December 4-5, 2010, as the Red Bull Catalina Grand Prix 2010.

Hey EDJE, thank you for posting this video! I was entered in the Cat GP and came down with cancer right after my entry was accepted. I've waited since I was 12 years old to race this event, and now at 50, I'm forced to bow out. With your help on camera, I'm able to enjoy the race from my home computer, here in Prescott, AZ. Thanks again!!

@groutmole - Thank you and may God bless you. This Island has had internet portal issues, otherwise I would have been able to post more about the activities. Rest assured, there will be more to come in the days ahead.

Dream come true! My 9 year old daughter is named after the BSA Catalina, and the race. I raced Classic B. My 1979 yamaha TT-500, took me to 5th place. Thanks for the film. Daniel Perez
