Motocross racing was so much better back in the 70's. There were so many different bike choices and set ups. The natural terrain tracks were so diverse. None of the bump & jump tracks of today. Better racing and better opportunities for all racers.
At around 10 minutes in John Smailes comes up with a chain of expletives so long they had to bleep it out for quite a while. Maybe he dropped his coffee ( just poured ) in his lap. I was there with Dad, we drove up there in Dads HX which had a 5 litre and a 4 speed. As we were coming through the spectator area access track to park Dad spun up the single spinner rear on the muddy track. Of course my sister and I spun around to look at the roost and there was an immaculate white VC Valiant behind with a mud speed stripe up the right over the headlight, up the bonnet and the windscreen with an unhappy looking Man With a Hat glaring at us. I remember the Taylor outfit and Gall sliding out of one of the turns and every lap hitting his back axle on a big tree to straighten up on exit. And Lester Rowley because back then the four stroke was the underdog and we loved an underdog. Thankyou, memory time.

Thanks for putting this up. Very cool 😆
I’m surprised how good the husky was handling
Awesome
Sand mixed with clay and churned into mud. Those engines were working so hard I'm surprised they didn't all seize up.
Husky Automatic 360
