That’s a dream car.😎
The street racing back then was epic. I was a van guy of course but I use to play with them on my Kawasaki Z-1 or even my RD-400. I raced my moto buddy’s 340 Duster on the RD and won but it was close.
This threads full of rad pics, love it!!!
Do you recall Mark Ashworth being on the south team?

My sister had a Duster with a 340 and that thing hauled was fast! RD 400 sure was a fun bike to ride.😎
those massive cheng shen were our go to rear tires regardless of track conditions, probably just because they looked bad ass walking your bike through the pits and the seat is going up and down from the huge knobbies! haha, I had a brand new one that I threw in with my last kx80, sure wish I never let either go..
I remember that Seattle had doubleheaders for a while, and I seem to remember Detroit as having some also? I’m sure that there were plenty more.
I thought that the reasoning was mostly because they only had to haul dirt in once but got 2 races out of it, even though they changed the tracks a bit overnight. Sort of how SX and Monster Jam basically lock up Anaheim stadium for a month now so they don’t have to pay to haul dirt in and out every weekend.
Might not have been as easy to get decent stadiums back then, also. It was still new enough that I’m sure a lot of natural grass stadiums didn’t want to destroy their grass for the event.
In the late 70's he was in some of the team races but by then it was mostly Team Georgia, Team Florida, Team South Carolina I believe. They may have pulled some guys together to make a North vs South race too, but I was out of the sport from 78-81 while I was in college so I don't have a good handle on that time frame. Same could be said about my memory of what went on while I was in college.🤣
Cool pic. Is that a 125 or a 90? Those boots have 70’s all over them. I had a pair similar….. they were Honda Line boots.
One of the ONLY cool things about the internet spying on us...
I'm getting some old Carlsbad MXGP races popping up in my Youtube algorithim. 😀
Sometimes technology is used for good not evil I guess.
looks like HT-1 90 to me
My cousin had a71 90 in purple? My other cousin had a Kawasaki centurion 100 holy shxt that thing was fast but it had this funky crappy second air filter in the case that would let dirt in the chrome bore. Too hi maintenance for us kids. My zuki 90 and the Yamaha ran for ever.
Pit Row
Jeeps are slow 😂 but they did shoot rubber bullets at us a couple times that sting
early 1970's growing up in San Diego our favorite riding area was Miramar/Poway open space. Sometimes we'd cross the boundary onto airbase property to smoke weed and relax. There was an old pioneer graveyard on the East hillside where F-14 Tomcats came in for landings right over our heads while we were stoned. Couple times base MPs snuck up on us from behind and cuffed us and put us and our bikes in the Jeep for a ride down to the brig. At 1st we only got lectures and we played dumb about the boundary and left us go. Eventually they put us in a holding cell and called our parents to come get us and they would think about releasing our bikes to them. Got too close to losing our bikes so stopped tempting fate.
Thanks for sharing those, classic 70s!😎
