Pretty sure this shot is from the Unadilla 250cc USGP, maybe 1980 or 1981.
I'm not sure who #33 is...Kris Bigelow? It's clear the bike picked up an attitude that wasn't expected and this rider is crawling onto the gas tank to correct the errant front end.
Remember the high two-stroke rev you'd hear when a rider was trying to save it? Getting the engine gyro effect to assist in correcting the bike's position? Hate to say it but when that rev noise came, it was probably a millisecond prior to a big crash.
Thanks to Retro Motocross readers for posting comments and helping me ID the riders and mechanics.
