Bob Hannah pulled the fans' attention

Saturday, September 1, 2012


Where Bob Hannah went, the fans followed.  I don't think there was any other specific rider who held fan attraction like Hannah.  It was a magical mix of personality + talent. And, it was a deadly combination for the competition.

If Hurricane warnings came to a Supercross stadium near you, it was a given that fans would line the closest access points in hopes of an autograph.

Who knows, maybe some of those young faces in the crowd are now middle-aged Retro Motocross readers.

Glover negotiates deep ruts


Supercross configurations may have been on the timid side in the early 1980's, but that didn't make them an easier to ride.

Broc Glover shows the proper technique for getting through a bike-swallowing rut.

Once again, the open face helmet allows for a full frontal view of Broc's concentration.

Retro Motocross readers...help me out and let me know who's chasing Broc on the Kawasaki.  Is it Breker or Ward?
