The MR50 and Claude Osteens were the next year I think. The year after that was when Jeff Ward's dad and Harry from Harry Cycle Sales talked me through installing an 83cc big bore, cam, manifold and carb in my XR75 over the phone. - I was 14 with a few Craftsman open ends, a feeler gauge and socket set. Jack Ward convinced me if I could take my XR75 apart enough to take him the piston with a hole in it, I could put it back together and time it with a "buzz box" that he could sell me with all sorts of other JWRP goodies - If I didn't have to pay labor I could get a straight manifold and carb to match my bitchen new Harrys Pipe. I still have a small piece of valve that came flying out of the pipe at night once red hot.....Good Times - Braaauup!
Escape Country was my first gate drop err...rubberband release (it was right before they installed the hydraulic starting gate on the Marty Smith track) It was right around when XR75s were a little underpowered compared to the new YZ80's - I could catch them if they ran the track backward coming down the downhill from the Odessy track when they ran that configuration.
They had ultra cross (bikes), stadium super lites (oddesys), unlimited super 1600s amongst others. Cool mix for a 10 year old.
Never rode there before and on some deepish sand. Wish me luck
