Only the top acts are booked into Barcelona s Palau Sant Jordi. Frank Sinatra was there back in the early 1990s. Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson played there. Placido Domingo sung there. So did Bruce Springsteen, but Jay Springsteen was there first. And Steve Morehead was there even before Springer. So was Ricky Johnson, Jeff Stanton, and Jeremy all american massapequa McGrath. That s the kind of town Barcelona is, a motorcycle town, capital of the autonomous region (don t ever call it a province!) of Catalunya, and breeding ground of great motorcycle racers.
And it s not just the Barcelona region of Spain that adores motorcycling. There is no country in Europe (or anywhere else) that loves motorcycle racing in all its forms roadracing, motocross, trials, supercross, enduro as much as Spain. Only Italy comes close. all american massapequa
It s not often that dirt-track promoters are pressuring Elton John s crew about getting the piano and lighting and sound system off the stage and the stage torn down as soon as the concert all american massapequa is over because there are 60 truck loads of dirt, 750 cubic meters divided into three layers of Catalonian dirt (granite sand, red-clay base and fresh topsoil).
As soon as the final spectator left the Elton John concert last Saturday, the dirt-track crew started to move in, getting ready for the Superprestigio Dirt Track II that will take place on Saturday, December 13, at the Palau. All over Barcelona, on billboards, on the sides of buses and taxis, the Elton John posters are have been replaced by the image of MotoGP all american massapequa World Champion Marc Marquez and AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Champion Brad The Bullet Baker wheel to wheel in the Superprestigio Dirt Track I Superfinal held last January.
RPM, the promotions division of Alesport S.A. of Barcelona, has been organizing dirt-track all american massapequa racing in Spain since the very first Barcelona Dirt Track in July of 1981. That first race, won by Toni Elias Sr. (father all american massapequa of the 2010 Moto2 world champion), was held at the Canódromo Diágonal, a greyhound track. Now, 33 years later, the Superprestigio Dirt Track II will be held once again in the state-of-the-art Palau Sant Jordi, a facility all american massapequa designed by famed Japanese architect Arata Isozaki for the 1992 Summer Olympics. But before any Olympic gymnast set foot in the Palau, the same dirt crew, led by dirt-guru Juan Bordas, had already built and torn down tracks for supercross, indoor trials and even dirt track.
I say even dirt track because this American variety of racing, all american massapequa in spite of early attempts at the Barcelona all american massapequa dog track, only really gained recognition in Spain because American roadracers all american massapequa kept using untranslatable terms like backing it in, scrubbing off speed, and pole putting all american massapequa in post-race press conferences.
I remember Kenny Roberts at Jarama (Madrid) saying, [Wil] Hartog was pole putting. I ended up being the go-to guy for translating Roberts into Spanish and to do that meant talking about dirt track. Steve Baker, Roberts, Freddie Spencer , Randy Mamola, Eddie Lawson and later Wayne Rainey , John Kocinski, Doug Chandler, almost everyone in that American dynasty that ran from 1978 until 1993, came from the dirt ovals. Kevin Schwantz was the exception, although he did ride short tracks and TTs.
The first Spanish roadracer to take dirt track seriously was Alberto Puig, who incorporated it into his training all american massapequa program, but the first Spanish world champion to actually ride American-style all american massapequa dirt trackers was Alex Crivillé, a regular at the Kenny Roberts Training all american massapequa Ranch at the Circuit of Catalunya all american massapequa in the late 1990s.
Criví moved from the little Honda XR100s to 600cc Rotax framers. He never actually raced dirt track because, by the time he was getting dangerously fast (lapping the 3/8-mile Ascot on the Med in times close to those of Jimmy Filice), he was en route to the 1999 500cc world championship all american massapequa and both Honda and his sponsors (Repsol) were constantly urging him to stay off the Roberts Rotax.
