Espn should get moto back . They could probably do a better job than SPEED is.

It did.

Alessi also got a podium in only his second pro race that day.

Watching Shultz gutting out a 500 National Title, old MXdN, RJ/DB '86......

Thanks to everyone that posts and lets us know of races coming on the air.

Greatly appreciated.

I thought I was going nuts when my DVR was set up to auto record those.......I am glad they are stuffing some moto down our faces when it is cold and blowing up here in the northland.

But I would like to see 84 125/250/500 nats..........that would be SWEET

Wow...I never had a reason to ever watch ESPN Classic, except for the occasional live broadcast of Champ Car races in Europe in 07. Other than that it was another wasted channel.
It's cool that ESPN is digging through its years of MX. Hope they go way back to the early 90s.

I wonder if we all email the ESPN network about the success of airing motocross on the classic network, maybe can see some footage from the early 90's as well. I know that since 1990 that ESPN had been broadcasting supercross/motocross and from 90-2000 are the only years of motocross that I cant seem to buy on dvd.

They also covered supercross in '89. For some reason they didn't do the 1991 season (i think they did flatrack that year).

Useless information....
