agreed - nuttin really new, yet watchable & informative -
1 thing vid glosses over is how very short the lifespan of most tracks was,
with many circuits (Cotati included) running but 1 season
(Cotati airport’s original buildings were framed with demolished track’s 2x4s)
the presenterz wild beard distracts from vid, but content of this 1, Evel Knievel vid, & others has me rating them worth a watch - thx for posting boardtrack 1

somebody on FB recently posted fotos of a nice 500 Maico MX,
modded for SM - it was rangy, hard-edged, & purposeful
oh, & it was perfect for a tall guy.....
That vid pointed out how the Maico was the basis for modern dirbikes.
I dug the part where Maico claimed to be winning with stick bikes vs Japanese Factory one offs. They let a Magazine tear down Ake’s bike to prove it. It was confirmed.
I had no idea they tried cars. Looked like a VW beatle.

That was fun to watch (the triples drag racing).
There's a Canadian guy (Off Road) on the RZ350 forum actively bracket racing his mildly modified bike for 2 or 3 years. He's very analytical and makes little improvements along the way.
A bit of one post
On Saturday at 4:49:29 PM, I had my fastest run of the day. 12.849 @ 102.41 mph.
On Sunday at 4:49:22 PM, I had my fastest run of the day. 12.808 @ 102.49 mph.
Here is his thread. Not much in the way of videos but some may enjoy the read.
