Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / July 2006Long overdue: I watched "On Any Sunday"
http://imdb.com/title/tt0067527/ I can't believe I waited so long to see this movie. It rocks! I expected to enjoy it. What I didn't expect was to be sitting on the edge of my seat, watching highlights from a race from 35 yrs ago as if it were live TV. Most of you have probably seen this movie and know what I'm talking about. If you haven't seen it, you should. Now I'm anxiously looking forward to seeing "Dust To Glory". http://imdb.com/title/tt0386423/  SignatureJamin "I don't want a pickle..." -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com > http://imdb.com/title/tt0067527/ > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Now I'm anxiously looking forward to seeing "Dust To Glory". > http://imdb.com/title/tt0386423/ Great movie!

I am still amazed at how smooth that Malcom Smith dude rides. I really like the part where he avoids the giant mud hole by sneaking through the barbed wire fence. And the opening scence with the kids on bikes brings back so many memories. And the flat track scenes, I still want another flat tracker.

I think Glory is the best one. You'll dig it so much you'll sell your R1 and buy a dirt bike! Well, maybe. Greg. > You'll dig it so much you'll sell your R1 and buy a > dirt bike! Blasphemer!

I can understand why Kenny was so great. He had the winning attitude, and was fearless. Kenny was whooping all the European's. That was great.

I didn't expect to enjoy it since I'm mostly interested in road racing and the movie is a bit old - man was I wrong, it was it a great movie. One thing it really drove home - not much has changed when it comes to bikes and their riders/racers. That Smith guy was amazing. - Kurt > I didn't expect to enjoy it since I'm mostly interested in road racing and > the movie is a bit old - man was I wrong, it was it a great movie.

Bryan >> Jeff Ward is still racing and is still winning.

This was a time of transition when the big Brit twins were being replaced with Spanish, Japanese, and Swedish two-strokes. A bunch of us crazy kids are still around. And my Checkers jersey still fits :) Hard to believe that was nearly 40 years ago. http://www.off-road.com/dirtbike/2001dec/rick/checkers.html I miss the great times around the firepit passing the peppermint schnaaps, and being pissed that Whitey Martino snatched my firewood stack I'd set up for the morning fire. I don't miss the bad times when we lost Larry Fitzenreuter, Whitey's crash, hell, my crash! Mitch Mayes' rock. Whitey made great spaghetti! I wonder where all the great Checkers are today... dp >>> You mean people from the early 70's are *still* living today? >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Jeff Ward is still racing and is still winning. He is in his mid 40s. And Malcolm Smith is still leading his annual "ride to the races" that ends up at Laguna Seca for the Grand Prix, as well as running his "No Wimps" dual-sport classic. > http://imdb.com/title/tt0067527/ > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Now I'm anxiously looking forward to seeing "Dust To Glory". > http://imdb.com/title/tt0386423/ Having spent some time in that sport, and some motocross and one road race.. it is my experience that nothing even comes close to dirt track. ovals or other semi smooth closed circuit dirt tracks... in my view nothing even comes remotely close to sliding a bike sideways into at turn... also coming off the line is a hoot and a half if you have the nerve to make it first into the first turn...if not though, coming off the line can be a bad deal... especially in a night race for some reason, not nearly as fun in a day race. Lodi Cycle Bowl, Ascott park in LA and 3 star raceway in Sacramento were predominantly night races...as are most of the class A short track events... gotta see one of those to believe it. 100 hp 500cc singles burning alcohol and nitro methane, in a frame with no suspension. no left foot peg. vertical front forks, 110 lbs, no gear box and a rolling start into a 3 or 4 lap. 60 second race. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=MOtorcycle+racing+class+A+short+track&b tnG=Search Phil Scott |
