This may have posted long before my time but still brought a chill down my spine.  No, not the cold weather or the wind blowing through the windows.

Tried to pick out some U S rider numbers...other than the obvious wheelie by Jack P #240!
20  Dane on a 100 Penton (of course!)
119 Jim Sparkes on a 175 Puch
229 Ronny Bohn on a 350 Husky

The Team USA rider in the sweatshirt attacking the power line special test at about 2:43 into the film is Jake Fischer, 99 % sure of it...how about it Jake, was that your outfit for that day ?  

There is a quick shot of Team USA rider # 30, that is Billy Uhl and his 100cc Penton.

I have a rider list if anyone wants to ID a rider by his number.

Thanks for posting the link...

Paul

I don't know if this has been ever been posted before, but I stumbled across this Cycle Guide article about the 73 ISDT, and thought this would be a pretty cool addition to the video that recently posted.

So I'm guessing 76 was the year the 250 got a serious makeover?
