Blackwater 100, 1988

Found these videos on trx250r.net Pretty entertaining to watch, you can see some pretty awesome action featuring the old school 2 and 4 strokes. There are some blasters in there too if you look hard enough.

Second vid is for the dirtbikes.

Edit: Saw the blasters in this vid:

Do you know the story behind why it's not around anymore? I looks like a blast, to race and to spectate.

Greenies , Lawsuits , Liability , Stupidity . plus the biggest reason of all ADVERTISING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Notice there wasnt a single banner for Bud Light , Marlboro's , Maxi Pads or Supermarkets . Just Riders having fun . Now everything has to be penned up in little tracks ( there are exceptions where the track is much bigger but the advertising still plays a huge role ) and the racers are reps for the sponsors that pony up the cash and prizes and anymore its more like being a dog chasing that rabbit around the track , if you win you get the shiny prize , you lose you get whipped on to perform better. Sorry for the Rant , it always boils down to the root of all evil $$$$$$$
