RIP Danny Chandler- boy, he always gave 100% and I sincerely believe that he had gotten a better start, he might had given Mr. Lawson a run for his money because he was matching Eddie's lap times for the last 3rd of the race -
I was there. Was standing behind Jim Mcay in a blue Oakley Factory pilot shirt and hat at the 50:00 mark. Worked for Oakley and set up goggles for our riders. Wise, Johnson, Malherb, Carlquest. In the evening was the AMA awards banquet. I’m not sure what brought all the riders in every year to San Diego, was it superbikers or the banquet. One thing for sure, AMA puts on a great party, then there are after parties. Good thing I was in my twenties and could survive on no sleep! Also, Lawson lived in Corona CA and would race motocross locally all the time when he was in town. He was a dirt tracker first and cut his teeth at Corona raceway. Then a world champion road racer like Kenny Robert’s.
God Damned OJ! LOL.......watching this made me want to race motorcycles when i saw it back then......and i did.....motocross....dirt track.....superbike....supercross...supermoto...and PIKES PEAK......
Thank you for uploading this. I watched a race of this type when I was a child and it fascinated me (might have even been this race). I loved the concept.
i still have a vcr that works its a sony 4 head. to my amazement it still works just like it was new and has the best picture of any vcr i have ever owned.
Best riders of all sports to ride all terrain in one race funny kawasaki has dominated in all races but the rm and yz are pretty dam fast with these riders
in the 70's watched Magoo in central Cal, mountain high near Bass Lake, every lap off the top of the 100 yard steep ass downhill into a hairpin into the start straightaway, every lap he pulled one hander peace signs jumpin farther than anyone, and leadin most of the time!! I think he was 16 or 17 on red KTM that tells what year it was.
This was 1983, right? If so, Freddie was probably busy with HRC obligations. HRC is infamous for contracts that force riders to do a LOT of PR stuff during the offseason.

The friggin COMMERCIALS are almost as entertaining and the racing- "I'm a MEAT AND POTATOES GUY??" SWEET JESUS
Thanks Dean
First time I’ve actually enjoyed watching commercials.
Lawson the professor laid down the heavy lumber
I was there that day, incredible racing and an incredible memory! Thanks for putting this up!

I sure wish ABC would make these races available on DVD...

It is just another bot channel that will never say "Your welcome". Of course, bot grace the top of comments sections too.
The most amazing part of this is that Soup still has a VCR that works.

Bot channel can't specify what year this race was. But under "show more" the music has it's credits, and I never heard of them.
The HD 750 must have been a grenade. Put Jay on anything else and he was a sure thing.
8:30 for the KNOBBLY tires
240p max resolution ? Really ?? Surely this can be tweaked as NTSC broadcasts were about 525 reduced to 360 when recorded to VHS.
Too bad ABC couldn't lure Kenny Roberts or Freddie Spencer to one of these events.
This is many years before Rally Cross, and the same concept.
I been looking for this race. Any chance of uploading this in higher then 360 resolution ?
Poor OJ!

You sure he wasn't riding a Maico?
@@josephkool8411 yep positive! fer shur!
ford escort getting 68mpg?
Must be 1983
The Juice in a commercial, sly Deano, very sly!
Google "OJ Dingo." Forget for a second about what OJ did, would this ad campaign fly now?
Hahaha!
The Juice!
Where was Freddie
He only raced it once, in 1980 not sure why he didn't enter again. He didn't finish the '80 event.
This was 1983, right? If so, Freddie was probably busy with HRC obligations. HRC is infamous for contracts that force riders to do a LOT of PR stuff during the offseason.
Knobbly!
