Rick Walsworth slaughtering the competition in the 125 support class, at the 1973 Inter-Am in Delta, OH.



Well I was there that day, and he did annihilate everyone in the 125 class.
But not until I recently got my trusty Super8 movie projector running again - did I discover that I took a fair amount of footage of Rick Walsworth winning that race.
The quality is actually pretty good. I now have to figure out how to transfer it to DVD. (or whatever the hip thing is these days) Or maybe even put it on YouTube.
Cool eh?

Cool job, Bob, keep us posted!  Rick is still very fast, and does plenty of modern racing today.  The 250 HS I own was bought from Buck Walsworth at Buck's Cycle by my brother in 1977.  He was told that it was Rick's "Pro" class motocrosser the previous year.  Wish I could ride it like Rick did!

I was there that day too, watching.  Delta was my HOME track. I raced against Rick on a few occasions
and yes indeed, Rick was fast!!

Jeff, That's cool. You'd like this video then - when I get a round-to-it.
Mick, When I went to pick up my Hiro Penton from Buck's Cycle in '75. There were two sitting there. Mine, and Rick's. That's the one and only time I met either of them. They were very nice and helpful folks.
