- I found this video I purchased in 1986 on Beta tape ! For those of you that remember Donny Schmidt, Billy Liles, Eddy Warren, JoJo Keller and Raceway Park legends Mickey Kessler and Mark Lachowicz this vid is for you. I know there were plenty more names to mention but I cant remember, that was 27+ years ago. Hey, and when is last time you saw an OPEN 500cc 2 stroke moto ? Brings back memories of the good old days. One thing I never forgot, that track was even rougher than it looks on tape that day.
Wow I saw myself for a brief time #4 Craig Petersen in the 250 expert class!!
Man, I have not heard a 500cc 2-stroke bike going around the track in about 25 years. Thank you for not destroying it with the junk that passes for music today. :)
English town, probably the best track ever built on flat ground.
Haa I know, it's a sound I will NEVER forget !
JOJO KELLER!!! I use to watch him in the 80's at Waterebrough scrambles in Maine.. He was the best!
YES!! I agree I went from 1978 until 1982 when joined Air Force and his battles with Meenen were awesome at Waterboro
!!
Great track. Enjoyed racing there. Had some good days and done bad days but loved it all just the same.
Man what a track! Some of those obstacles were kooky!! Great riding.
Just found this video awesome. Thank you.
I remember this event! My dad was a KAWI dealer in Oregon and we were 100% into moto. we never ventured further east than Wala Wala Washington but we raced everything in Oregon and Washington during the mid to late 1980’s. Great times! I was a big Jo Jo Keller fan.
Yo Yo Keller! NESC
They really did a great job building and laying out this track,and in true motocross form making it rough a real MX racer dream.the rougher the better...

Wow I remember being at this race it was my first I didn't even know Donnie Smiddt was yet...that was a good ride to hold off Kessler.
