Old Motocross Home Video..... 1978-80 'ish

***** Just found another old film .... see it here.....    • Motocross from Wiston Park, Steyning ...  
Wiston Park, Steyning meeting 1978 ****

Some old cine film shot by my Dad back in the day when I was about 18 to 20. I raced from 1978-1983 in the Juniors with the ACU then did a year of AMCA in 1986, making Senior and actually beginning to win races in that category. Unfortunately for work reasons I had to stop racing before I could try and make Expert.
We only filmed random events as the whole cine film thing was a bit of a pain. The dusty Amberley meeting I filmed my mates as I was injured and couldn't race myself!!
I will try to time stamp places below with the names of people I can remember in the video.... apologies if I get them wrong or misspell any names!!
Apologies for the rubbish quality.... it was a long time ago!!
