Forgot to write - we'll have a little video interview with Mr. Hannah, probably coming around the first of the year. You'll like it ... I hope! : )

[racerace]

Thanks!

[racerace]

And on two-strokes! Nice! : )

[racerace]

Let's not forget the announcer. None other than the one and only Larry Huffman.

all you see is a big dust cloud at the beginning

The utility pole on the uphill levels in frame 2 and at 4:39-5:00 and at 7:15 is still there. And yes, Google Earth it - pretty cool. Cross streets are Santiago Cyn Road and 241/261 connector. The best part is that the land is undeveloped other than the toll roads. Also, the soap box derby track is faintly still there too but on other side of 241 near Irvine Park. The TT track unfortunately is gone. Good times and great memories. Keep posting your videos and pics!

Look how slick that track was! You had to know how to ride a bike back then. Throttle control with light switch motors.

the track is still there ,, google earth it and you can see the out line of it ,

I was at this event ,, the camera here doesnt do the up hill suicide doubles justice, you dont realize how much air they got, and Omara was the only 125 rider to do them

I hate AMA they destroyed the glory of 2 strokes

2 strokes now have to compete with 4 strokes over 100cc larger

Tell me how that adds up?
