Scope and Contents
At the fairgrounds at Sacramento, the professional riders are split into four heats with the 20 fastest riders making the final. Dave Aldena, Mark Brailsford, Dick Mann, Dallas Baker, Lloyd Houtchet, Jim Rice, and Rusty Koppich are listed as participants, with Aldena and Mann fighting for the lead. Aldena manages to hold off Mann at the end, winning the race.
The next scene is shot at Daytona, where in 1967 Yamaha has the top five finishers. In 1968, Yamaha has the top four finishers and seven out of ten overall. Now 1971, where Jim Odom, Dusty Coppace, Keith Mashburn, Cal Rayborn, Kel Carruthers, and Duane McDaniels are racing. Carruthers wins, averaging over 101 miles per hour, with Yamaha taking the first forty spots. The top ten are Carruthers, Rayborn, McDaniels, Gary Fisher, Steve McLachlan, Ray Hempstead, John Gilray, Harry Cone, Conrad Urbanowski, and Rusty Bradley.
Still at Daytona, but now on the quarter mile dirt track, riders race in heats. Barry Briggs wins the first heat with Mike Kidd and Keith Mashburn also qualifying. Briggs takes second in the first semifinal, while in the second semifinal Beauchamp wins with Gary Scott in second. Beauchamp wins the final, with Scott in second and Roberts in third. The second day there is a lot of mud after heavy rain. Briggs finishes second to Ed Salley with Mike Kidd taking third. In the second semifinal, Briggs is able to take first despite a slow start. Salley takes first, Barry Gerald takes second, and Mike Kidd takes third with briggs once again having engine trouble. Finally, in the last race Briggs is able to defeat Salley and Kenyon.
The Daytona 200 features Dick Mann, Don Emdey, Mike Halewood, Duane McDaniels, Jim Odom, Kel Carruthers, Paul Smart, and Gene Romero. Dick Mann wins for the second year in a row, averaging over 104 miles per hour. Romero comes in second, with Emdey in third. Smart lead for the majority of the race, but bike troubles late kept him from winning.
Little Fauss and Big Halsy, a 1970 movie starring Robert Redford and Michael J. Pollard is the subject of the next segment, showing footage of motorcycle racing that didn't make the final cut for the movie. Throughout the footage, a narrator explains how the scenes were shot, various camera techniques, the use of helicopter shots, and more. Five races are shown, a scramble, a hound and hares race, a TT race, as well as a sidehack race and a 200 mile race.
Following this, there is an extended Yamaha advertisement that highlights the motorcycles' riding ability over various terrain, including dirt bikes as well as road bikes. The reel closes with Monty Markham once again riding through some hills with music playing in the background.
