AMA San Jose Mile Terry Poovey, Bubba Shobert, Ricky Graham 

This was the day of great racing. Sure wish we could get back to that era.

R.I.P. "ROCKET" Ricky Graham.

I was between T1 & 2, sitting in the shade in those trees, looking through the chain link fence right on top of the hay bales... pounding cold Buds... gettin' pelted with rocks from the roost off the pack! Damn, Rick Graham RIP. Jim Filice qualified as a wildcard in '88 on a 250 GP bike at Laguna and spanked all those Yurripan boyz. haha Bubba was riding the '84 HRC VF750F in AMA Formula 1, and won the Mid Ohio round in the rain. All these cats were so bleedin' fast! I still have a bunch of San Jose Mile T-shirts, and wear them too. It's a trip when some old guys see it and start remembering SJ and Sacramento!!! The good old days, right?

Wow, that is without question the best dirt track race I've ever seen! Thank God we have RU-vid to catch up on all this great racing! Ricky Graham and Randy Renfro gone too soon. Rip

Thanks Don !!!!!

I remember going to that race. The Sprint car races were good at that track also.

130mph on the dirt is damn exciting! 25 laps must be grueling. Saw a great race at the Santa Fe Speedway in Willow Springs. IL. back in the late 70's.

I was in the stands with my dad at this race. I was 7 years old. My dad was an expert in the 70’s. Used to race Ascot a lot. Great times!

This was my favorite track back in the 80's. Some of the best dirt track racing of all time was run there. Too bad they don't run at that track anymore.

That had to be one of my most favorite memories .. Eric Rausch finished 2nd. In that heat .. I had to fly back east ,get a frame ,tank ,forks front wheel ..ECT ..He had a bad crash ,at Ascot ,the weekend before .... lot of work ... Thanks to Bob Day , and the Chandler family ... Great racing memories !!!

Chandler and Shobert were a gods. 2 of 4 Grand Slam winners here. Glad I got to see them race. Sad what happened to Bubba.

I was at this race. My first SJ mile was the last year with no mufflers of any kind, 1975, I think. The next year they had the mufflers we see here. And I went to the last SJ mile, in 1988

I went twice and it was great.

too cool san jose mile was so cool they should bring it back.

The announcers are more understandable than now with their speed reading !!!

God bless Ted booty& quick Ricky.my last at San Jose.1975.

My dad used to ride dirt bikes with #42 - Steve Morehead. Dad said SM could ride a wheelie all day.

Think I was there

does anyone remember a local San Jose area guy named Kevin Lowery that used to race there.

look close on the back stretch....right after turn 2 theres a helluva bump

Does anyone know where to get more information on the SJ Mile? I'm from the east coast, love and film flat track and don't know enough... why the hell is it not there - there is NOTHING in San Jose... it needs fun, attractions, etc...

Flat track was better then than it is now.

I was there, got some pictures.

Wow, they've got some Guts, are they still on BSAs.

Parker didn't win the San Jose Mile until 1989

I was there. The idiots closed it down.

Remember when Honda kicked the Harley-Davidson's asses AMA made Honda air restricted by 2 mm on the carbs. Harley-Davidson pays off another rule change

Where are the Indians ? Oh they weren’t in business
