Some super-8 footage my late FIL (who sold Bultaco) took of motocross races in Michigan. Sadly, there's no audio. 

Some hairy starts! Crowds way too close to the action! Clouds of 2-stroke exhaust! Thought some folks here might enjoy it.

That is awesome.  So many good cats in the videos too.  I'd kill for that buick ambulance in the beginning.  At least I think it's a buick.

Ok, I just have to think "ting-ting-ting" sounds in my head, but it's still great.

Glad folks are enjoying the footage! I just uploaded the 2nd reel, this one has better close up shots of the action.

Those 2-stroke clouds were okay back then to breath.  Stroh's beer and unfiltered Camels made it all safe.
