Throwback Thursday: Jeremy McGrath Gets Carlsbad Trans-Cal Holeshot (1988)

Ty Davis Took Victory in the 250cc Pro Class
In this week’s Throwback we dial back the clock to October of 1988 with the venue being Carlsbad Raceway. This photo is from a Trans-Cal race that weekend and shows Jeremy McGrath (No. 125) nailing the holeshot ahead of Ty Davis (No. 1) and a host of other racers. McGrath looked strong, but it was Davis who came through to win the 250cc Pro Class over Larry Brooks, Steve Lamson, McGrath and Mike Young. Those names alone show you the depth of talent these Southern California “off-season” motocross races featured in those days.
