what exactly is "Motokazi"
Very cool. Overall a lot better than many similar segments I've seen in the past. I remember when I was a kid one of our local news channels came and did a segment at Mosier Valley (RIP)... it was horrible.
Heh. When she was summing up talking about bike sizes, she only talked about 2-strokes.
Check out my bud #309. He is a star. Yeah it is only local news, but still he is a star. And he got the holeshot! sweet. And Graves old man is still fast and sneaky. See you guys at the Vet Races.
ride on. More local Moto TV.
motokazi was the name of the facility / track. overall it was a good report of the sport, except a few things only a rider would pick up on as being miss informed, as SteveS noted. track looked really easy, and facility looked awesome! liked all the green grass.
Nice to see a good, relatively accurate report.
My 1st race was at Midway. Cool track in a pasture! I remember Ron Heppner. Back in 1981, when the Yamaha's came with the number !'s on the plates, he was able to leave his on! So cool to see him still racing. And it was a nice little clip, but "the 125's and 250's reach speeds of up to 30 or 40 mph on the track??? Hello!! LOL And the "Dirty Dozen" was quite the obstacle back then-well not so much for the late great Donnie Schmit! Good times! He could fly through them.
