Carlsbad USGP:1980: The Movie 1



World Premiere Set For June 22 In San Diego

Marty Moates "One Day of Magic" comes to the big screen on 30th anniversary of race.

Carlsbad USGP:1980: The MovieApril 1, 2010 - San Diego, CA - Todd Huffman, producer of the popular Motocross Files television series, is in the final stages of wrapping up his latest and perhaps most important project of his career: Carlsbad USGP:1980: The Movie. The movie will premier on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at the historic 1,500-seat Spreckels Theatre
located
in the heart of downtown San Diego. The premiere will be exactly 30
years to the day of Marty Moates historic ride that took place on June
22, 1980.

Huffman
and his Fullerton, CA based production staff at Pipeline Digital Media
have labored for the past two years on the documentary movie that
documents a significant milestone in American motorcycle competition.
The movie also chronicles the coming of age for a young San Diego
privateer motocross racer, Marty Moates. The fact that a virtual
unknown like Marty became the first American to ever defeat the
all-conquering European racers really adds impact to the story. 

"I
have had a great opportunity to work with the legends and heroes of
motocross racing while making this film and I can't think of any
project that I've ever been more excited to share with an audience,"
said Huffman. "The annual Carlsbad USGP (United States Grand Prix)
races were legendary. When you consider that a local rider like Marty
Moates goes out and beats the fastest, most talented riders on the
planet aboard his privateer Yamaha, you begin to appreciate just how
special the story is."

The USGP in Carlsbad ran from 1973-1986. It was televised live on ABC TV's Wide World Of Sports program
and became the most-watched motorcycle race in history. "1980 was the
heyday for American motorcycling, dirtbikes and motocross racing and
thanks to ABC and the Wide World of Sports, the USGP became an incredible spectator event that every racer wanted to claim," Huffman added.

"San
Diego has always had a huge motorcycle community, then and now,
producing world champion riders like Marty Tripes, Broc Glover, Ricky
Johnson, Marty Smith, Ron Lechien and many others," Huffman said. "In
fact, we already have a number of confirmations from many of these
heroes who will be at the premier, even if it means flying across the country, from Europe or beyond. June 22nd at the Spreckels is going to be an amazing night."

One
of those eager to revisit the past is the legendary Promoter of those
classics, Gavin Trippe. "Anyone who didn't get to see these epic
battles and the amazing coverage ABC shot, this is a historic moment
frozen in time, even for myself. Marty's spectacular win sent the fans
crazy that day!"

Tickets for the Carlsbad USGP:1980: The Movie premier are $20 each or $30 per pair. A commemorative 1980 USGP program is even included with the ticket price.
