I was going through some old boxes and found a couple of old Pripps Pluss energy drink packets. What ever happened to them? The stuff was killer and I drank a ton of it. I don't have any pics of them either so you will just have to believe me.

My Dad had a dealership and sold it. I think we used more than he sold. Awesome stuff. Tasted way better than the crap that is out now.

Kitsch used to have gallons of it in his mom's van. I had to constantly piss because of that stuff. I probably overdosed on it.Woohoo

Pripps was great!!! Use to drink the hell out of that stuff untill they stopped making it.

Lemon flavor Propell Fitness Water tastes just like it, but nothing beats the original.

I thought the same thing about the Propel water!!!! Very similar, but not the same.

I mixed about 20,000 gallons of that stuff up for the Bailey MX schools in 83. It worked well. The students loved it.

I remember getting some recovery drink in a dixie cup as you walked your bike from the finish line at Ponca around that time. Always wanted to get some after that but couldn't recall the name and Pripps Plus is kinda ringin a bell.

At Loretta's spectating in 1983 they were giving the stuff away.
Loved it!
I went home and started selling in my shop.

wow! blast from the past! i totally forgot about that stuff but now that you mention it, it was awesome! i remember drinking it from the team green section at lorettas back in the early 80's. my step dad was racing and we were too poor to hydrate the accidental child that i was...so the team green tent (even though they were a sworn enemy to our little ktm/maico franchise) was where i sustained life for the week. it was like gatorade but pripps would have been a threat to gatorade because from what I remember, it was really good. i liked gatorade too but pripps was definitely an equal contender. maybe even better? i remember pripps like it was yesterday, the team green tent and especially the pripps free dispensery was right next to staging. perfect placement!

Right on Joey! at Ponca we were parked right next to the TG pits, so Pripps was just a few steps away the whole time, i drank so much i was pee'in flo green Cool

That was the year that Jones goggles had the display where you could shoot a .22 pistol into the lens.

Both those remind me of each other.

scottie i missed that booth. never went to ponca but i see now ponca doesn't recognize lorettas nor does lorettas recognize ponca...too much competition that promoters use to divide us. probably a tiny reason that we remember pripps and ask eachother what the hell happened? seems like we loved the stuff!

on a side note, since you are the man with posting races plus an insider that i much respect, can i find the nbc show anywhere? i forgot to dvr it being that it was not a speed show...

Yeah, I loved Pripps in the 80's. If I remember right it was supposed to be really high in magnesium or something like that to prevent arm pump. It seemed like it worked to me.

Jones Goggles, Pripps Plus, Hi-Point boots, DMC Flourescent Orange seat cover, and Gear Racewear. Hell yeah. Good times for sure.

I raced Ponca in '82, drank loads of Pripps from the Team Green supply, wore Jones goggles with a Moto3, and worshipped Willie Surratt, Keith Turpin and Ronnie Tichenor that year. Can I be in your club??

Larry Meyers gave me my first cup of Pripps Plus at Loretta's in '83. As many others have already said, I too loved that stuff.
