TrophyHunter 15 Posted June 22, 2010 before i tell him 100%...TH? all good?? ..he's a Triumph guy Yes Updated 1st post. I walked over at lunch. Street parking is FREE after 6 PM. Do not tempt the meter folks by saving a quarter if it's "just 15 minutes"... they will find you (ask me how I know....$35). Please do not leave valuables in plain view in your car. The Yard House is two blocks east of Spreckles on Broadway. Thanks again to Sneeker for putting this event out there! Should be a good time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sneeker 29 Posted June 22, 2010 What time at the Yardhouse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted June 22, 2010 Yard House time is your call. Brenden brings up a good point.....happy hour ends at 6. I'll be placing my order prior to that. Just got back from meeting one of the coordinators at Spreckles. Doors open at 7:30 so autographs will be available then from many former pro's. Nice Yamaha on display. Still one more ticket available for $12.50. At the door for $20 or $30 for two. Box Office open now and they'll probably close at 6 when the VIP event starts in the lobby.

lemieuxmc@yahoo.com 0 Posted June 23, 2010 I just want to thank Ken for putting it all together. I had a great time, Donna enjoyed the story (knowing nothing of the USGP) and she likes to collect art so she bought the prints of Marty. As cinema I thought the movie was an OK documentary, but being in that crowd for the premier was fantastic! Thanks again Ken! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christi20 0 Posted June 23, 2010 I had fun too. Have to agree on that. Movie was Decent. Dragged on a bit, but it was all about the crowd and excitement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted June 23, 2010 Brought back old memories of the last time I rode the International track also in 1980, at ABC Wide World Of Sports Womens Motocross championship. Now I will have to buy the DVD of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulmbowers 236 Posted June 23, 2010 Had a great time last night.. Sorry I bailed so quickly but I had a long drive home.. Thanks to Ken for putting it together.. I followed you right out the door, and was probably home before most people got out of the theater. I admired your jump-and-go spirit. But did you have to hold my hand when Moates was about to win? I mean, I like you and everything, but.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 411 Posted June 23, 2010 that was almost a blow off for me,,,so glad I went. Hope all had a good time, from my Cafe Husky post (cut and paste) 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. __________________ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrendenSD 0 Posted June 23, 2010 I'm not gonna pretend to understand the rules of USGP racing in the 80's but why were there 2 races? I thought it was 1 and done. Thanks Trophy for the the tix. It was cool seeing everyone there for the event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 411 Posted June 25, 2010 mx moto1 and moto 2 always been like that except when some orgs ran 3 shorter motos 2 45 min moto format is the classic and really separates the very well conditioned from the conditioned athletes.

blind_in_1_ear 0 Posted June 25, 2010 mx moto1 and moto 2 always been like that except when some orgs ran 3 shorter motos 2 45 min moto format is the classic and really separates the very well conditioned from the conditioned athletes. (soccer match 2x 45 min) funny this came up...i heard, and for some reason my mind caught it too much...but the term "40 plus 2" came somewhere...i looked around a little, and viola.... i guess it's 40 minutes plus 2 laps...interesting(*to me anyway) ...and really, i was genuinely curious about that phrase since the movie...but i am like that.

dirt dame 561 Posted June 25, 2010 mx moto1 and moto 2 always been like that except when some orgs ran 3 shorter motos A.C.A. ran 3 twenty minute motos. I kind of liked that format. But we ran that format on the little track up front, just above the drag strip. A.M.A. ran two motos, but I remember them as being sort of short also. Maybe the expert class ran the 45 minute motos and the lower classes ran the short ones. My favorite was Grand Prix though, which many of the old timers will remember as 1 two hour race on an extended course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
