This was the first I watched this vid. I realized and appreciate the racing then is far + away better than now. Once the track was butchered (for the four strokes) I never went back. 86 1/2 cc 500 husky + 90 mx 500 ktm.
These guys were very smooth and because the grew up riding two strokes, which probably had less power than modern bikes, they had crazy corner speed to keep up the momentum.
Listín to Bob Hannnah talking about Kent Howerton in those old videos. Those sunsabitches hated each other. There was no bullshit about “ well he rode A good race and I rode a good race and we’ll all go to the bowling alley with the wife and kids later on tonight’. They were racing for food on the table and fuckin pride
