Fumbled my way around a few dirt tracks in my day as well.

What bikes are they running here? Make, model, engine size.

Those are the older 750 dirt trackers. Harley XR750 was the old standard but newcomer HondaRS750 could outrun the Harleys on the mile tracks.

Anyone who's ever thrown a leg over a racing motorcycle has my respect, but dirt track racers are my hero's
Ricky was a legendary hero

I had many boxes of racing videos from my racing days. Some were used for bragging but most were used for training and study. I threw them away many years after I retired from racing. I found a lone vhs tape a few years ago and had to search for a vhs player to watch it. Funny as hell watching a 160 pound me racing, but the best part was the aging cassette tape made it appear that I was racing in snowstorm. Showed it to my grandkids once to remind them that grandpa was once cool........yawn.. yea. Whatever pops
