______________ had his first race on a Superbike at Laguna Seca (he was rammed by Mat Mladin--remember?) But he's seen his share of first-rides at the Dry Lagoon. "When I started racing in '95 I rode the Sportster here; I've ridden a Buell around here. Then in '96 we had Harleys again, plus we had (Honda) Supersport bikes. Then the RC45, RC51, now the new 1000, a couple of different modifications of Ducatis ...

Anyone know who the mystery racer is? : )

Jody Hendley could haul a Sportster around a track better than ANYONE I have ever seen.

RIP Jody #188

Actually, I thought it was Bostrom, so I did a search on my hard disks with Spotlight. It was a Superbike Planet article that verified my guess.

A lot of road racers started with Harley 883s, XR750s or Buells.

Remember, Laguna Seca and Sears Point are in my backyard.

Ben Bostrom also won the 883 race at the Syracuse Mile back in '93. Ever notice how fast dirt trackers tend to be fast road racers, but not the converse?
I would love to see Valentino Rossi on an XR 750 at Springfield. He needs a large helping of Humble Pie; and Chris Carr, Jay Springsteen and the rest would be more than happy to hand it to him.

Come on Crusty, why does Valentino need a large helping of humble pie? Ain't the man one of the best roadracers... EVER?

Jim,
Quit bragging! You know Texas doesn't even get an AMA race. : [
