Awesome find! The first race is Lorettas when Tim won his first championship to de-throne Denton.

Kinda cool, they have a quick interview with Mark Laeger after the first segment.

Awesome video. Times were much simpler back then. Even the music is better.

Ya I saw that as well. Racing in Ohio for a long time I wonder what track that was at he was referring to.

One thing I noticed was how rough the tracks were and how many difficult jumps there where, lots of jumps, close together coming out of turns. Nowadays the tracks are bigger, wider, smoother and focus on big air jumps. I wish we could see Pro level guys on 250R's race against the new 4-strokes.

Nice find. I like the intro when the guy says the racers have to be in good shape to wrestle a 500lb refrigerator around the track for 30min:rofl:.
