Hey Hubcaps, did you see Bob "HURICANE HANNAH" at Unadilla.
I was at Unadilla the rainy year that Bob Hannah won the 125 class, Jeff Ward won the 250 class,
and Ricky Johnson out-classed everyone else in the whole world by a long shot in the 500 class.
1987...
Around 1973 or so me and some boys went to Road Atlanta and saw Hieki Mickola and Roger DeCoster
and all those guys... it was an innocent time then, we were just little kids, and we snuck into the pits
and walked around looking at all the bikes - we weren't supposed to be back there, so we didn't talk
to the riders, we just tried to look nonchalant (oh yeah, those guys belong here
) Back then the
Europeans were the superstars, and they were all there...
We went back the next year, but they kicked us out of the pits right away when we tried to sneak in.
-Mike
