1973 ISDT Berkshires, MA

This is a short, but nice 8mm film taken of the '73 ISDT event held a few miles from my hometown. I was only 17 when I filmed this and I rode these very same trails and power lines on October Mountain on Saturday mornings with friends on my trusty '72 Penton Six-Day 125cc. Also included is the Impound area in Dalton and the final grass track race on a cold, damp, and drizzly September day in Windsor . This was an historic and memorable event similiar to the Olympics that will probably never be replicated here in this area again. Enjoy!

I worked a checkpoint for Al Eames during this. I had a free day on Saturday for the grass track event, and I watched it from inside the track. Jeff Penton won the grass track event if I recall correctly.
