Thanks. Very good narration considering how long ago it was. I was there also and was 14 years old. I raced there a few times, but mostly at Saddleback Park. (Beg, Jr., Int. classes) My memory of riders from back then is still excellent. Nice work.
Absolutely incredible, historic footage. Thank you for sharing this treasure racerace.
You d' MAN!
My gosh, I was there, can't believe its been 50 years!!! Carlsbad was a motocross town (and a surfer town). During finals each semester at Carlsbad High, a couple guy would race down the hallway (with very loud expansion chambers!) and just disrupt the entire school!! We had the most fun, generation! Thanks for posting this.
Old school is so cool.Thanks for sharing with all of us..
Wow !! Good Stuff!! I was there that year and made it to most of the Grand Prix's.I raced my CZ 250 and Honda 250 Elsinore in the CMC race's back then and had a blast!!!!!!!! Thanks for the video.
This is excellent nostalgia motocross.
Wow, what great camera angles for a 12 year old! Thank you for swiping the camera for the day - I was at the 1975 race when I was 14 following my dads untimely death the year before and motocross helped me though it and became an important part of my life Thank you again for this incredible footage - Carlsbad is still sacred ground although development has now closed it, it will remain forever open in part to footage like this....
Vintage Cold War Motocross. Times were so different back then. I am very impressed with your recognition of all of the riders, one rider who is always so easy to identify though is Roger DeCoster. Just look at him, even in these old movies, he really was and still is "The Man". He set the standard for proper position and style. I'm sure the first to agree would be David Baily. Thanks again!
Nice filming for a twelve-year-old I was 16 at the time I was there it was fantastic thanks
Those were the true iron men of motocross...
I wish there was a database to watch all the old races. Newer generations need to see the history!
awesome video, I very much miss going to that Race. Me & My buds always made it out. I gave up racing when they shut down Indian dunes, & Saddleback, Then
shortly after that Carlsbad died.
I wish there were more videos out there of
these iconic tracks.
Incredible footage! I was there and 21 at the time. I could not believe how much faster the europeans were at that time. ALL my idols in one spot. Whew!
Awesome video. I was there that day. I can’t believe you filmed it that good as a twelve year old. Cool video thanks for sharing.
Man, I love this stuff. My Cousin's raced every weekend at Carlsbad and Wednesday's at Southbay. Having growing up in N. San Dawg County I can say these were Gods to us.
Cool film dude I was there so cal was the best for motocross back then,saddleback indian dunes corona nite races O.C.I.R. elsinore and a ton more that I cant remember I got 1 of the first honda cr125's around aug.1973 was a 74 model $825.00 out the door(LOL)raced cmc at saddleback It was the best Thanks for the film
My hero’s when I was a kid!
And these guys did it without 16" of travel on the suspension.
Anyone remember back in 1974 Yamaha put on "Yamaha Dirt Days"? Yamahas factory racers would go to local tracks and "teach" motocross for a day. I went to it in Michigan at Milan Raceway, "Teachers" were Pierre Karmakers , I think it might have been Hart, also and can't think of the 3rd.
My brother and I went to that race12 years straight camping out all weekend. I saw Andre Malherbe crash right in front me breaking his leg and giving the 1982 championship to lackey.Sorry brad but Malherbe was unstoppable that year. Till then anyway. Thanks for the memories and here's to Art schol.

Why was Carlsbad always the track for this event?
Shut up Silhouette picture guy , how many attempts to finally get that user name lol !
Carlesbad got the Nationals because the Europeans couldn't win at ACP in Phoenix because the track was too dificult and they were afraid of the suicide. ACP refused to change the track so the Nationals moved to Carlesbad. Where are the Europeans now?
