Dale thanks for the comment, that's cool you still have those shirts and a lot of good memories. The reason I do all thees videos is everyone can enjoy, so glad you are.Was always fun having those big races here as well.
Thanks for this video Mr Gary Bailey. I was at this race. From NC a hour away. Lake Sugar Tree races were a big deal to us amateurs who were l lucky enough to be able to race there. Always great races when we got to watch the NATIONALS there. Was also there as a teenager for the TRANS AM race in I believe 1977. What a thrill to see all the Europeans I had only read about in motocross and dirt bike magazines. Became a big David Bailey fan watching him on that track. Still have tshirt from the Trans Am and first Nationals ran there, and even a Gary Bailey's cycle barn shirt. Thanks for the memories
Thank you Mr. Bailey! I never got to see many of these races back in the day, had to wait for cycle news or MXA to read about them. It is really cool to be able to watch them now.
I took a week long class at Bailey Riding school ~1990. Incredible time. My very next races I got holeshot like 5 times in a row. I didn't have a place to practice all I had learned so I never competed well. But my time at Lake Sugar Tree will always be remembered. Also got to meet David and ride a few laps on his supercross track!
It looks like Alan King has quite the sense of humour! Before the start of the 500cc moto 2, RIck Johnson is bent over prepping his starting area, and Alan King comes up and gets right behind him....like he's gonna give him some prison style lovin'....lmao! RJ didn't look amused! 🤣

This is so fucking rad I can’t get enough of it
Gary, thanks for inspiring me to race Bultacos, I won races back in 74 and a championship at the age of 60.

Thanks for this one too Gary, watching David beat RJ on this track was awesome.
How good is this ! Very much appreciate your time and effort to transfer and download these awesome videos from your personal collection 👍👍

Thank you for sharing this Gary. This was the first national I ever went to. I couldn't believe how fast those guys were. I raced at Sugartree several
What great footage Gary!👌
Good to hear Larry Meiers calling the races...didn't realize how good he was at it.
Thanks for sharing Gary! I really liked that track when I raced there ,if I remember right it was 1988 national maybe.
