Racing motocross at Carlsbad Raceway in early 1987. My friend Steve Stumetz took the footage - he had a broken arm at the time. I raced a ton of races during this time in my life and this is the only footage that has made it through time.

  • nice video. carlsbad always brought out the best in a rider. let's go back a bit further to CMC days. some of you guy's out there will remember these riders. like richard grafton on a twin shock yz 250 wide open up shifting doing the down hill. or rex staten battling w/mike hartwig. what about marty smith's first ride on a 73 125 elsinore. marty tripes on his bultaco feet up cruising (a half a lap ahead of 2nd place) around the track. tommy croft w/his chrome helmet. mark anderson on the Clews.

  • John tookey? Lol. Dont remember him. Jim chamberlain hauled ass there...thomason ran the track. Awesome track euros would shit their pants there. Ricky johnson was king there period.

  • that just pisses me off that they turned this into condoes

  • Ahh I miss those days. I still have dreams that I'm doing a 40 minute moto and when I wake up I felt like I just was on the track. You probably announced my motos. Are you serious you don't know who John Tookey is?! He was a R.E.M. local for a looooong time. Really great guy, funny as shit that rode 500cc alot. Drove a customized trick grey Ford van. He usually parked at the lower parking lot. I always parked up on the hill with Fornash.

  • This is the place I always wanted to ride at when I was a kid in the 70's. What is it now? Condo's? wtf...Thx for posting

  • Great song - fitting.  Now all that's there are industrial parks.

  • Great posting!!! Loved seeing the footage of Carlsbad... I spent a lot of time racing with Frank and Myra and considered the place my second home... If you had raced there with Racing Enterprises Motocross in the 90's, I probably announced your moto... I will always look back on those days with a giant smile on my face!!! R.E.M. Forever!!! --and who the -F is John Tookey?!?!?!

  • that was cool thanks for posting that. i raced there until frank went to Glen helen. so very cool

  • carlsbad is and frank thomason of Rem; and carlbad, hold a close place in my heart. what coulda, shoulda happen w/ my career w/ REM help ... we woulda been something... long live carlsbad!!!
