    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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.
 
Wes was robbed from winning that race!
Wes is a living legend.
 
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?
