  • Good luck finding a place to ride in Saint Peters today. It's suburbia. That track looks cool.

  • @rockinbass01 In those days there was no affirmative action for 4 strokes. The classes were by displacement.

  • Mikkola was one of the best technical riders of all time. Truly a great talent to watch. Love these old school races.

  • Brilliant. I was at the first Trans AMA at Carnegie Cycle Park outside of Livermore, Ca. Magical times...although I continue to ride offroad (with my kids) and occasionally race, I consider that the golden age of offroad motorcycling and racing. Thanks for posting

  • Classic Motocross!! Loved it!

    Those were the days!

  • These guys are moving. riders were just as good, Just they had under 6 inches of travel and maybe an Amel or Bing carberator . I think these guys would give most amatures a good race today on their 2009

  • is this 500cc 2 stroke or 4 stroke calss? sorry not to familiar with vintage racing but love watching it

  • Nice,

    Can you recall who won the event?Some of the riders names?

  • wanna see st peters in 1977, go here and choose "Surprise Spencer Creek" and "FarOut."
