Fantastic stuff. Is there an equivalent class to this stateside? Good affordable (or as affordable as racing can be I suppose) fun.
I lifted this one from their website. Looks fun!
Fantastic historical shots. I love old shots like this taken by the fans. I imagine there’s a TON of it out ther. hint hint… 🙂

Hi Steve,
Found these over the weekend in my archives. Gary Nixon and Kenny Roberts at Loudon nationals 1973. 250 Class which Gary won. Interesting that while riding for Suzuki in the open class Gary rode a Yamaha (I assume as an independent) in the 250 class.

Great Stuff! Thanks Henry!
This one’s been all over the web but it’s too darn cool not to re-post. Watch the back tire rate of spin when he’s trail braking. Simply mind boggling.
I’d heard about this class and even seen a few pictures and such over the years but I had no idea that they put it out there to this degree. Just amazing! Thanks much to Piotr Szumera from the ADV rider page for permission to use these.
To quote him directly from his post: “Here is a few shots from last weekend’s Sidecar MX championship round 6 which took place in Gdansk, Poland. Everybody knows, that racing requires some balls. But these crews have a set of 4 on each machine and made of titanium for sure.”
NO DOUBT!
