Loudon in the late 1980s. Here John Kocinski electrifies the crowd with another podium speech.	Loudon was the be all and end all when it came to rowdy AMA nationals. People came there to party and they didn't let much stand in their way. Also, the spectators had a good time too.	Being on the East Coast meant two things for Loudon: smokin' sea food and rain.	Loudon: home of the dirt burn outs.
This is the year that they had to create a dam around the paddock area.	'Honey, take your beer and run down to AMA registration for me, will ya? No, no, you don't need your jacket ..'	Loudon boasted huge crowds for more than a decade but the new NHIS format doomed professional bike racing there.	It's Sid from the Pistols!
Loudon: better in pictures than being there?	Animal Hill: where old school buses went to be burned.
