Fantastic footage! Whoever was behind the camera really did a great job. I’ve followed this sport since the 70s and have so many fond memories of attending various national and Trans-AMA events back then. This video brought those memories back to life for me. What a great era in the sport’s history. Thanks so much for sharing!
Another nice post ! Thx. To me , as a 61 yr. old lifetime fan , when I was a teenager these tracks looked as professional to me then as they might be to a young kid now , kinda 🤓
Great video! I can't believe that's from 8mm film from 1977. I was at that race spectating. I had fun trying to identify the riders: 1 Suzuki Tony DeStefano, 2 Yamaha Bob Hannah, 4 Husqvarna Kent Howerton, 5 Kawasaki Gary Semics, 6 Maico Steve Stackable, 7 Suzuki Danny LaPorte (Lost his seat by 22:45!), 8 Yamaha Rick Burgett, 9 Honda Marty Smith, 11 Bultaco ???, 13 Maico ???, 14 Suzuki ???, 16 Honda Tommy Croft 19 CanAm Jimmy Ellis, 21 Husqvarna ???, 102 Honda Jim Pomeroy
Did I see a Harley (Aermacchi) go by there? A few dead people in this video, unfortunately, 102, Jim Pomeroy, 9, Marty Smith. Both in four wheel off road accidents.
@MikeAsbury-ti2yx Sorry Mike, vhs came out in 76 and a vhs camera was barely available, weighed a ton, cost a fortune and SUCKED. If your looking for TV coverage....nope.
I cannot believe how amazing this camera work is! Better then what we get today on live TV!
