Broc Glover – Shines On His Yamaha

Check out Broc, i really hope he hit his chin on the crossbar that knocked his Arai up that high Blink I loved that Yamaha JT "sunrise" gear!...and the Seer goggles, Ricky used to run those and gave me as many pairs as i could use, hated them though, the vents let so much dust in and i had way bad allergies as a kid.

Bob Hannah – Tommy Croft at Pontiac Supercross

Look at that HUGE crowd!!! People just going nuts screaming and yelling watching the action.

And that front row is about 10' from the track, that is just crazy! The 3rd rider just visible at the edge of the picture looks like his elbow is only a few feet from the wall?

Amazing picture, everyone is standing and just a sea of people filling the stands. Great times.

Cool pics, thanks for posting OC!

Hey Jeff, just to be clear, they arent "my" pics at all, just stumbled on that site doing a google search for something. Such an awesome little "treasure" to come across.

btw: those i posted barley even scratch the surface of what is on that site! Cool
