Nice 70's style jumping. Always land on the rear.

Can't get much cooler than a Sachs six speed with leading link forks, now that's a dirt bike.

I had a few more pictures of that track, It was by a lagoon and the soil was epic , quite a few races were held there, Bob and Billy Grossi won that day. the area is still there and i think about that track everytime I take the tram around the fairgrounds. I was 16 years old that day!
