It's a battle of nerves and a battle against the course

Sorry, can't remember who sent this to me, but you've GOT to watch it.
It's the Superbikers race series from Carlsbad, California*. This series was the father of Supermoto, and this race was a later one, from 1986, with Ricky Graham, Bubba Shobert and an 18-year-old Chris Carr absolutely kicking ass on, I'm pretty sure, a Wood Rotax.
It makes us wish all sports TV presenters (sportscasters!) wore matching blue blazers and yellow slacks. And that someone would organise another race like this, on this scale, not some piddly little supermoto track. GI

*Carlsbad's a place that has a special place in my heart because I had some surf shorts with hot rod flames on them, made by Life's a Beach, Carlsbad. It said it on the label. That was back in 1986-87, a time when nothing had hot rod flames on them, except hot rods. I used to wear them to go see Pop Will Eat Itself, Gaye Bykers on Acid and all those grebo bands when I was 15 and 16.
