year?
looking at the cars, bikes, cloths, and hair, it Looks like 1964/1965 just before they ruined drag racing by throwing money at it and forcing out the regular guys.

I am thinking 1962 to 64.
Is there a definitive answer to this?1980 XS Eleven SpecialComment

Motoman is the closest.
I say 70-72. There are two 66 or 67 Vettes in there; what looks to be a 71 Sportster; and it looks like a 71 or 2 Triumph Bonneville.
Those are my guesses. Either way some cool old footage. Wish it had sound!80 XS1100G w/ Windjammer-the Witch

Thinkin we're the closest CarolynS, as there were a couple of Kaw. Mach I's or II's..........rode quite a bit on the 500's................definitely the straight line bike of the 70
's as that tripple 2-stroke ripped, specially the 750 which was in the low eleven's at sea level.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment

I don't know the real answer, but I'm goin to guess 1967. Because I didn't definitly see any Kawasaki triples. Did see some 2 cycle twins= couldn't tell what make tho. Didn't see any CB750 Fours= first sold here in 69.
How did you like that guy racing the chopper, big sissy-bar and all? Looks like he was kickin butt in his first race. Didn't do as well the second time.
The old Sedan with the front fenders and hood removed looks bitchin as hell.

I was wondering about the guy on the bike that kept hanging/trailing his left leg. Had to have an alternative shifter of some sort. Looked to me like an artificial leg maybe?
I guess no way to know for sure.

No Kawi triples.
I didn't see any kawi. triples. I did see a BSA, or maybe it was a Honda both had chrome tanks at that time, two or three Harley K models, they were the early flathead Sportsters, if you look close you can see the rear cyl. hidden behind the riders' right legs, some brit. bikes most likely Triumphs and one Bridgestone 250, which was the real drag king of that era.Fastmover
