Note: Please study the images carefully to determine the condition of this vintage photograph, as it may not be in perfect condition.

1985 Press Photo Motorcycles line up at Riverside Motocross Track near Watson.

This is an original press photo. In a cow pasture four miles north of Watson, Louisiana, families, and friends assemble for the grand opening of Riverside Motocross Track. Some arrived at 7 a.m. Some camped out Saturday night on the banks of a creek that borders the pasture. The sun has been relentless since midmorning and a cloud of thick, red dust hovers over the track while everyone gets ready for the show. Riders in long-sleeve jerseys pull on high top leather boots; spectators visit at the fence rail; children help their fathers adjust engines for the last time. Photo measures 7.25 x 10.75 inches. Photo is dated 06-12-1985.
