http://carlsbadusgpmovie.com/ Went to the San Diego event last night. Almost blew it off. Glad I didn't, special attendees included "The Man" Roger D "Bad Brad" Lackey (seated right behind us)), "Golden Boy" Glover, Danny LaPorte and many many former top pros and local SoCal MX guys from the 70-80-90s MX scene. Was a good moto flick and a nice tribute to Marty Moates. Interviewees and focus riders (some no longer with us like Marty) in the movie include so many riders/mechs/tv personalities it is hard to remember but here are a few last names, DeCoster, Tripes, Pomeroy, LaPorte, Wolsink, Carlqvist, Lechien,Johnson,Bailey, Tripp, Arnold, Siemen, LOP Yamaha folks, Hannah,Moates family members, track owners and many more that didnt come to my head at the moment. Go see the film or buy it. It has great ABC sports clips, great photos, and fun history of the day the day a privateer US rider from a private team went 1-1 at the USGP MX. The program they gave us has the entry list for the 500cc FIM USGP and the AMA 250cc races for that day at Carlsbad. And all the adverts are from the era!!The lists are a complete who's who of MX racers from history almost every name is recognizable from both lists. It was a cool event.
We had a booth next to Brad Lacky at the Washougal MX gig. Super nice guy and he let me drink all his beer. Very down to earth. Was amazed how many people did not know who he was.
Yes, Lackey is an awesome guy. I met him in the Mid 1980's when he was promoting a race. I was in my early teens at the time, he was super cool, chatting with me for awhile. You would think everyone at a AMA National would know who "Bad" Brad is. Or in Europe they called him "Bad Lucky..."
