I cant lie,, It got me half tough, ready to cancel our vacation and go to the auction..Total 90's..

 

OMG that and the late 80's 1100 in front of it.. DAMN nice stuff.

 

this one i would want, wonder what happened to it?

 

I believe John still has that.

 

That the Moriwaki? I forget where that wound up but JU posted up about it a long time ago.

 

I remember that bike, trailer, those guys, and their shirts. I'm drawing a blank on the race and track, with the lights mounted and the banking in the background, though. Sure John or someone will come along and remind me, eventually.

 

Looks like the machine **At the Auction** 91 GSXR, PM Wheels, Unbraced swingarm, Yosh heat shields and carb covers.
Willow Springs WERA /FUSA 1991 @riderfiles

 

The Moriwaki was a GS1150 or GS1100 motor, breathed on, in a Moriwaki frame.

 

Yeap. A few GSXR 750s came down from Canada in ‘85 but JU still Ran the
Moriwaki and won on it.

I really can’t remember what GS motor they ran, might have even run a worked 1000.

 

This is from 1984 WERA @ Road America @riderfiles

 

Jeez, the Perron leathers on the one dude and the Fox gloves and boots on the others. Damn, that’s a time warp.

What ever happened to Patty over at Perron?

 

I really like where this thread is going. Keep it going!!

 

dont let the lights fool you, it was a day race.
i took the pic at texas world speedway. it was either 83 or 84 i dont remember which, it was a 4/6 hr. i remembered it rained hard. they had to stop the race, i think they even had to reroute the course because of flooded areas

 

That is a great picture. If I remember that race, it rained buckets for a bunch of it. We were racing a Yamaha 500 single and one of the few bikes to pass us was the Hammer bike, that sounded like it was only running on 3 cylinders. In the background of this picture you can see balding guy with the beard. I think that is Pat Lineen and he and Wayne Canale were doing the endurance on a TZ750. I don't think they finished.
