1988 TOC Tournament of Champions Walk Through the Pits

[Jetpainter]

Back before there was an XFC or a Shootout there was the TOC. I found this video by accident today and thought I'd post it to show just how far things have come. It's a walk through the pits of the Las Vegas Tournament of Champions 1988.

These guys would have killed for the power we have today. This was in the days of Tartan Twins, and two SuperTiger .90's geared together. I think my 10 year old DA50 makes more power than they had.

The video quality is bad, but you get the idea what they had to work with, and there are some mighty fine bipe porn!

Wait a minute. How could that be Las Vegas? Everyone is wearing a jacket. I didn't know the temperature ever got below 75 in Vegas. Must have been before Global Warming!
