The Unadilla track was made for open class two strokes. I was lucky enough to be there to witness the Hannah-DeCoster battle in 1978 and actually saw Decoster take out the hurricane in the second moto. I was also there at the first 250 USGP when the Americans went against the Russians. Marty Tripes won the whole thing over Honda team mate Jimmy Ellis by 0.8 seconds! Carla clinched his first World Championship at that race which I believe was the finest ever in the history of the sport.
Excellent show brother .you have a great memory for detail on all the dirt beauty's. In britain we just had the vets mxdn.all bike and stars from the past inc j dowd Rj came over magic .get a flight next year you wont be disappointed.

“Old school motocross on a grass track”
They started adding ” supercross features”. Sky shot and some of the jumps are recent and weren't part of the original track.
