Some shots of one of the many fine establishments we have in our backyard - Perris Raceway. Footage from the 2014 California Gold Cup MX in Perris, CA (By D-Squared Images): View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJctk382lPk#t=149
Perris=Fun especially when you are 200lb 6'1" MX goon racing a vintage 1981 YZ80 in the open vintage evo class.
You want a visual thrill, go to Perris on Tues evening for under the lights Mini Night. Usually Seb Tortelli is there with his students, as well as all the fastest SoCal (and out of state winter training) Loretta Lynns Nat level kids. There are kids there that will blow your mind with their skill level and speed, it's worth a trip to bring a sandwich and watch (last time for me was for my friends kid who was in Seb's Champ Factory school). Also 99% are on 2T 50,65,85s and the sound is pretty cool. You can really scout the future nat/internat level future pros. The ones that look like Jeff Ward did back in the 70s.
You're putting that Husky(?)in the rear seat! ... You have probably forgot more about racing than most of us know. Have you ever started a MX race behind anything other than a metal gate?
Sure. I have stared at many a knot tied in a surgical rubber band, back in the day. Also lots of Lemans style starts, hand on helmet, or stand next to bike, etc. There was no such thing as a backward falling gate in those days.
I think the Duffster goes up for the night stuff. Speaking of LL's, regionals at the Ranch this march.
I've done those rubber band starts here ... Those are really fun to watch ... These guys here might have to re-start 5-6 times ... Seems it's all about stretching that band out, way out ....
