Hey guys thanks for the kind thoughts.
The idea behind the magazine interview was that my little story might spark interest in other people (like me I quess) to get out & go vintage racing. It was the idea of one guy I pitted with at Mosport that races both vintage & an XR1200 in the national series who is involved with marketing for the VRRA. It is an attempt at increasing membership, certainly not to pay homage to my limited talents.
But for Tim... I'll sign your copy for a drink at the banquet buddy.
I have the magazine here but never had much luck scanning these things so I'll leave it to someone with some of that kind of savvy. Mike, if Deb gets to a store that carries it there may be no copies left anyway!
I received a couple more pictures and seeing that's what this is all about here goes. This is how close we were most of the P3 final. That's the young gun who won on a GPZ550.
Here is how close the bellypan comes. It just barely touches the weld on the way by. (back exhaust side)
This is when Henderson got by for good in the P2 final. He went inside & I outside on a lapped rider into the lefthander of the chicane. I tried to stay ahead of him but went in way hot & tooo deep and finally had to straighten it up and exercise my motocross skills. I told him I tried to get back by him anyway I could and we nearly pissed ourselves laughing.
Not very flattering, but that's racing I suppose. Of course the joke around the pits later was I should install a mower deck.
