It was well presented ! The “senior” Duhamel prevailed, and we all got a nice poster for the garage door ...
Saw Barney at Daytona and he seemed almost giddy about it. It'll be more entertaining than superbikes this year
The legends race was going well until they were bashing each other and one of the legends passed away and boom, that race was never run again. RIP RR
The BMW Battle of the Legends ran from 92 to 97 during the AHRMA portion of the races at Bike week. BMW NA put together a stunning world class event and it was super well attended and the spectator turn out was amazing. I was the tire guy for them from 94 until it ended in 97 when Roger Reiman was killed in practice, RIP racer. And no matter what was said at any rider's meetings about giving a show those guys raced to win every practice or race.
Guys like him will be going for it like a virgin on prom night from the get go. The older guys like barney, and bostrom might play around and put on a show for a bit, but once the youngins try to check out it's gonna be on like donkey kong. No old guy wants to get beat by some young punk, and the young guys all got something to prove.
During what part of the race? Remember a race when Roberts and Mamola seemed to be goofing off the 3/4 of the race and then game on.
I’m digging how it sounds and how he said they read the rules and turbos were allowed! I hope that’s true.
