  • 1983 National Championship Race Santa Cruz CA - Proshot by Honda Part Two.
    This film/documentary was filmed by Honda to follow/document the 1983 National Championship @ Santa Cruz CA. It stars Mike Coe, Dean Sundahl, Jimmy White, Curtis Sparks, Eddie Sanders and many others!
    This film was sent to me personally by Mr. Mike Coe and until now has never before been seen since the early 80's!
    Enjoy! Merry Christmas from Airfoolers.com!!

    These races were the perfect mix between motocross and flat track, sad so many goons ruined three wheeler sales who couldn't ride them properly. Quads were boring to ride and watch by comparison.

    This music makes the video comedic.

    yeah I remember Mike Coe racing the new watercooled 250r's in 86 sleeved down to 200cc for that class.
    If I remember correctly mike was so fast on the sleeved down 200cc that he would race in the 250 class and still win with it.

    This isnt just one race, they must have edited two motos together into this video because Coe has blue pants in some parts and red pants in others, including the interview at the end...I know Coe was fast but not fast enough to change pants in the moto and still win! Great Vid!

    My brother Darrell Chapman used to race in Florida and won the Grand Nationals in San Antonio in the 80s, maybe around 83 or 84. He rode a Honda and his number was always 00. If there is any video out there of that race could you let me know?

      @Wes - And because Jimmy White and Chris White got them early, both being factory Kawasaki riders and all.

  • @AIRFOOLERSDOTCOM
    @AIRFOOLERSDOTCOM  13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @KARLish33 Mike Coe didn't stop ATC racing in 1984. And yes, this was the last year of the Airfooler being produced by Honda - but - a lot of non factory racers continued to use their well tuned Foolers well into 85. Some for money reasons and others just went with a 'if it aint broke ..' way of thinking. By 1986 pretty much everyone had converted over though.

  • @cj15941
    @cj15941 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It was an RM250 converted. very trick machine. could have really used the 87 LT250R motor with an RM cylinder though!!

    Honda was experimenting with watercooled technology at this point. Visit airfoolers website for more info and pics of these early prototype water cooled heads.

    we did some Young GUys on Old machines races down here in the south. but it was more of a private thing that a private collector funded to get us 'kids' to experience them

    • @paulallison6689
      @paulallison6689 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There were 200cc 2-strokes back then...they were just simply sleeved down ATC250R's & KXT250 Tecate's though (but they were still pretty fast though!).
