I had meant to mention this a while back and then forgot, only to be reminded once more upon seeing the ferret's sad post regarding the death of Joel Robert. At any rate, after acquiring a new (to me) dedicated film scanner last year I finally went through a bunch of my old slides containing images from a few of the National AMA motocross races as well as a couple of the Trans-AMA series events that took place back in the late 1970's. I was actually taking race pictures before then, but hadn't yet purchased a 35mm camera so unfortunately most of my resulting images during the mid-70's were total crap as a result. All in all I'm glad that I took the time to scan these and post them up for others to enjoy.
It was fun reading memories shared by other fans and I even got some "likes" from The Man himself (Roger De Coster) which was pretty cool. There were comments added by a few of the racers from that era as well as the folks from the RedBud motocross park where many of the images were taken which was nice. Those of you who were motocross fans back in the 1970's might enjoy checking these out. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I spent so much time posting the images up on Instagram that I'm just not up to going through the whole process again here.
You'll have to wade through some of my non-motorcycle images and do a little bit of scrolling to find all of the motocross content, but for those who are interested, you'll find my old race images located here: https://www.instagram.com/guthsview/
