1977 SOUTHWICK 250 NATIONAL

[@VirtualGuth]

Fantastic footage! Whoever was behind the camera really did a great job. I’ve followed this sport since the 70s and have so many fond memories of attending various national and Trans-AMA events back then. This video brought those memories back to life for me. What a great era in the sport’s history. Thanks so much for sharing!

@VirtualGuth JUST FYI, all these posted films where shot by me.

Another nice post ! Thx. To me , as a 61 yr. old lifetime fan , when I was a teenager these tracks looked as professional to me then as they might be to a young kid now , kinda 🤓

Great video! I can't believe that's from 8mm film from 1977. I was at that race spectating. I had fun trying to identify the riders: 1 Suzuki Tony DeStefano, 2 Yamaha Bob Hannah, 4 Husqvarna Kent Howerton, 5 Kawasaki Gary Semics, 6 Maico Steve Stackable, 7 Suzuki Danny LaPorte (Lost his seat by 22:45!), 8 Yamaha Rick Burgett, 9 Honda Marty Smith, 11 Bultaco ???, 13 Maico ???, 14 Suzuki ???, 16 Honda Tommy Croft 19 CanAm Jimmy Ellis, 21 Husqvarna ???, 102 Honda Jim Pomeroy

[@chopperenduro6590]

Chuck Sun was on Husky & good earning him a factory Honda ride in his near future , #21

[@franciscolopez3229]

Very nice footage. Just look at them Honda bikes. Love those red, white and blue Team Honda uniforms. I just wish there was an audio to hear them bikes.

[@surferjohnny123]

So cool! Those boys are changing it hard!!

[@kroutmoto]

Между прочим в 1977г. чемпионом мира в 250куб.см. стал Генадий Моисеев (СССР)на КТМ (Австрия) , вице чемпионом тоже на КТМ Владимир Кавинов (СССР).

[@SKRATCH587]

This footage is So TOTALLY RAD🤘🏻😎🙏🏻

[@tomcarey-e5k]

my first nat. and still going to them best of times.

[@sand-motox32]

This was my first national I attended. I live approximately thirty minutes from the track. I miss the old layout of the track and the pits.

[@muzzmatrix]

Marty Smith won that day.

[@TEWDev]

Great footage Lyndon, thank you for posting. Very good camera work.

[@vintagemxer9165]

Tip: for when it is slow motion - go to settings and playback 1.5 or 1.75

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Excellent 👍

[@vintagemxer9165]

Aw Jim you let Smitty get ya. And now LaPorte's seat fell off! Was this sabotage by his mechanic for chewing him out on the sidelines? That was some race. A freight train. What happened to Burgett? He passed Pomeroy at one point? Great footage. Better than today's races.

[@YZEtc]

Nice. Thank you for posting this.

[@andrewreebel6418]

Wrote this is amazing.

[@iceKOId]

Unbelievable footage!

[@pauloneill2530]

Could help notice the can am rider stood on the pegs through the corner only seated on the last part of the exit.Modern day technique is maybe not so modern

[@stantissue2065]

Did I see a Harley (Aermacchi) go by there? A few dead people in this video, unfortunately, 102, Jim Pomeroy, 9, Marty Smith. Both in four wheel off road accidents.

[@Scandle68]

Is there anywhere I can see the same video that's not in slow motion the entire time?

[@lfoxracer]

@Scandle68 Not really, with film you need to shoot slo mo in the camera and that's how I shot it. You can try clicking the settings gear at the top right corner and raising the playback speed to 1.25.

[@michaelofiara9732]

When life was simple and any joe shmoe could race for cheap. Southwick. Pinetop. Middleboro. Lanesboro. Waterboro. Pepperell. Central Village. Loudon NH. Man great tracks. Miss that shit. Oh. Dont call it The Wick. I hate that lol.

[@Lee-mx5li]

Nice!

[@samjohnson1061]

123 TonyD multi time

[@MikeAsbury-ti2yx]

Somebody has to have these same race's with sound get into your closets grab vhs tapes guys

[@lfoxracer]

@MikeAsbury-ti2yx Sorry Mike, vhs came out in 76 and a vhs camera was barely available, weighed a ton, cost a fortune and SUCKED. If your looking for TV coverage....nope.

[@mikeyerke3920]

@@lfoxracerI think the footage is excellent considering the technology used to film it. Very nice. 🏁

[@brentfrank7012]

Why the slow motion?

[@2strokeme64]

So your brain can perceive the awesomeness

[@MikeAsbury-ti2yx]

All the other bikes look out dated compared to the type-2,s? not even the same HP class lol
