40 years of legendary motocross racing marked the eighth round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championships this weekend. Racing legends from many different eras all joined in the fun for what was dubbed a “retro” National. By most accounts, Unadilla was viewed as the rough track so far this year, despite, or perhaps because of the excellent prep done on the track. As we head into next weekend at Budds Creek, Chad Reed is now the undeniable points leader in the 450 Class while the battle rages on in the 250s between Christophe Pourcel and Ryan Dungey. Dual points leaders coming into ‘Dilla, Pourcel now has a six-point advantage as the series heads to Maryland. But rest assured, the championship is far from over.
We spotted this old jersey roaming the pits early in the morning. Were not sure if he was aware that it was a "retro" national or if he is still holding on to the idea the Damon Bradshaw will race again someday. Either way it was a cool blast from the past for the Beast from the East.
