Wow! Awesome. Thanks for posting this, Eric. Kinda sad though. The biggest difference between now and then is the SOUND. Did you notice that? Bikes racing everywhere! You go over to comp now and everyone is sitting in their side x sides drinking beer. Hardly anyone races anymore. That or they are staring at the north pole. Dentboy asked me this last weekend about the crowds back in the day when it was at it's peak. Comparing the decent turnout to back then I would have to say it's still about half of what it used to be. The look on his face was like he almost couldn't imagine that many people out there. Just look at that group of bikes and buggies at the hill on what was probably a Saturday afternoon. I remember daytime was almost more fun than the nighttime atmosphere.
On a positive note, I got to see my buddy Mike at 2:36 in his buggy that hasn't ran since probably that trip! LOL Can't wait to show him.
