    Hey, 80GS
    Thanks for putting up that link, was fun. Anybody notice Dale Quarterly,practically underneath his Kawasaki,
    trying to keep the engine going as he slid to a stop? He was some character in the 80's AMA, and I believe
    that bike was strictly, totally, a privateer effort.
    sigpicSome of the totally committed probably should be.

        Wow, there's no run off room.

        Haybale then armco barrier.

        I mentioned Randy Skiver #36 at recent track day at the Ridge, talking to an old school racer from the eighties. He mentioned they used to be flat track teammates. First time I've ever seen him on video. Thanks for sharing.

          In the end of the video it said Cooley's bike was a Youshimura Suzuki and was disqualified for being to light. He was still robbed

                    750's for sure around that time.

                    I remember watching that race when it was on TV, was the program quality really that bad back then?
