Daytona SX through the years

I watched 2000 threw 2008 "big bike" (lots of name changes in that short time) main events last night. Depression sets in around 2005. The day races were awesome, the 2 stroke sound added more excitement, the non chookie cutter supercross tracks really threw everyone off (except James and Ricky, well actually it threw James off his bike a few times too). Something about that 2 stroke sketchyness was fun to watch

What did we do before HDTV?

Somebody embed this video. It's helmet cam footage of Reed and RC for one lap in 2005. Soooooo good!

The best

I think 85 was the year we raced over light poles for whoops.

40 on the gate to.

Cracking up at the directing for the 1979 race. Same things happen today, there's a battle for the lead on the last lap and they switch to Tripes by himself on 3rd. Interviews in the middle of the race. Away at commercials when key passes happen. I guess not much has changed in 38 years of TV broadcasting.

Track was basic but cool. There was a bit of pavement showing though, today's guys might complain about that

Answered the only phone in the house, when it rang, because we had no idea who was calling?

We had to count rings cuz we had a party line.
