This is the best supercross race of all time, hands down! I love the 86 Anaheim battle between Johnson and Bailey but that was only two guys. This was a handful of guys who had a shot at winning. Multiple back n forth battles and crashes. A last lap pass for the lead and win by a guy who was nowhere near the front in the beginning of the race. This race had it all and it doesn’t get talked about enough. Thanks for uploading because this was before my time lol
You were lucky to be there. Reminds me of Unadilla 1986. I was there and watched the Hurricane leave it all out on the track only to have O'Mara wear him down and checked out only to run out of gas on the last half a lap. I remember people talking about a fix because Hannah was talking retirement at the time. What an incredible race only to be topped the next year by the U.S. hosting the MXDN at Unadilla (I was there again). Watching Johnson school the euros in two feet of the nastiest mud I've ever seen was a sight to behold. And watching Hannah on the 125 trying like mad to get around that swamp was awesome.
Great job commentators, Racing, fans, crews, support staff and family members... And everyone who made it possible. Especially clean up crews for next events.
These were the days when the top eight guys had all the heart in the world. All of them truly believed they had what it took to win and weren't going to settle for anything but. Compared to these days where one guy will settle into the lead and everyone else is more than happy to just circulate and pick up a check. Sad.
This was back when they ran the amateur races and the pro race on the same day. The amateur racing started at 6am and ran until about 2pm. They raced on pretty much the same track as the pros. The only difference was that they put a speed bump in front of the big jumps so no one would try to jump them.Then they would start the qualifying races for the night show. Back then you had to race your way into the night program if you didn't have enough series points.
Not in 1988 at the Pontiac Silverdome. We did not get on the track until the pros' were done Sunday night, (after midnight), and they did not bother fixing the track at all. I think everybody qualified from the local qualifier races,----because I did. :)
Wow!! One of the best SX races ever!!
i was 15 and racing amateur day but was amazed by my idols racing that night…epic.

I was at this race. The entire crowd stood up and yelled the entire main event. One of the greatest supercross races of all time.
