I need some pre-weekend youtube moto viewing, help me out with your picks for the best battle/performance at each stop of the outdoors.

1998 Unadilla 125cc class.

2007 Red Bud also, still have never seen anyone go as fast for both motos as Stew and RC did that day, most of the time just feet from each other WFO.

Also Red Bud 2010, Canards first 250 win and started his momentum towards the title.

I never get bored of watching that , l love the pass Searle puts on Dungey ( big Searle fan here) but not sure it was the most sensible move , I don't think he made many friends that day!

What year and what track was the Stewart, Roncada battle in the 125s ? I want to say Hangtown 2004 but not sure.

Jeff Ward versus Johnny O at Washougal in 1984. I got to see that one in person. Two fierce rivals getting everything they could out of a works 125.

Doubt it's on YouTube though.

06 or 07 High Point, both good. Carmichael vs Stewart.
2011 had Villopoto comeback and take the win over Dungey on the last turn.

This should be split between 125, 250, lites, and 450

Townley and villopoto has some epic races for PC that one year...

RC lapping everyone in the mud at Millville. The race wasn't particularly "exciting" because it looked like amateur hour, except for Ricky. I don't know that he fell over or got stuck even one time. Going up one of the hills, I remember seeing Stew throwing a temper tantrum while stuck. RC just motored by, lapping him and making it look easy. Truly the GOAT.

I’m sure there are epic Southwick races from years past, but Dungey in 11. Was pretty epic. I used to rewatch the 96 race (maybe) that McGrath won overall on a blistering day. Plus it’s the old track with the frog pond.

RC and Stew at Washougal 06 is pretty hard to beat as someone mentioned.

Hangtown I’d split between Plymouth and Prairie City. The 76 125 race with Hannah and Smitty is one of the all time best races in the history of moto. Prairie City, you’ve got old era with Hannah almost lapping the field. It’s also cool anytime you can see the original layout; it was incredibly wide in much of the track and something I think would benefit the current layout. Modern era 06 when RC and Stew came through the pack after crashing in the first couple turns was epic. Langston run down of Alesia is good. For sheer astonishment the 91 mud bath is something, too.

I don’t think it’s on video, but the 78 national at Sears Point was one of the best races I’ve ever seen, up there with Hannah/Smith and Stew/Carmichael. Weinert, Sun, Hannah and Ellis were clustered jamming each other prettty hard in a 1-4 pack. Marty Tripes, both motos, sort of casually trail road from the back past those guys with no problem looking like he was pushing about as hard as an 80 year old cruising a campground on a trail 90. I’ve never seen a guy as smooth as Tripes.

The 2008 Glen Helen 250 race was pretty cool; peak JLaw

Tomac and Roczen at Thunder Valley 13? was a great race

Love racing!

Thanks for that, that was awesome.
Shame Searle left the USA , just don’t think he was much of a supercross rider but he looked good on the outdoor tracks

2001 Red Bud

Tortelli hands RC his ass only to run out of gas at the finish line! Then hands RC his ass in the second Moto with plenty gas left.

Freestone, 2006 or 7. RV and Townley was so sweet. Ben couldn't pass but RV couldn't get away either....they really put on a clinic.

Off the top of my head...when Windham came out of retirement at Glen Helen and was dominating everyone including RC until he hit that barrier on the side of the track. He was going so fast
