How ever did you assemble so many flat track racing videos? That's Clyde Denzer at the start of the video, providing a candid description of the engineering challenges that the Harley-Davidson racing team faced as Honda improved its design, as well as his typically "cool as a cucumber" character that endeared him to so many colleagues in that fascinating sliver of Americana. Thanks for posting this.
I was'nt aware of this TV coverage, thanx for the post. I was there for this, coz I remember my wife bought Ricky Grahm T-shirts for the kids! Also I saw H-D first display of their "new" 80 cu.in. Evolution motor that day.
Scott Pearson was my neighbor when I grew up in San Jose. We had lots of orchards nearby to ride our dirt bikes. I bought my first bike from him. It was a clapped out Honda mini trail 50. When I took the carb apart, there was a nail instead of the throttle slide needle! I’m surprised that it actually ran like that.
I have some good photo's of you, J Springsteen, G Scott, Poovey, Goss, Hank Scott, A Jorgenson, Shobert, all side by side, like the fingers on a hand, around turn 1-2 at the San Jose Mile, c1980-84. .
Lots of hard dicing in close quarters. A fairly hairball deal. Pretty hairy track. The drafting is amazing on this one. What a crew of hard chargers. Graham, Shobert, Goss and lots more fast guys of that era.
Back when the Hondas came out of basically nowhere to slap around Harley. The ONLY reason Harley dominated for so long is because 98% of the time they had no manufacture competition, they raced against eachother.
The XR750 the Greatest Harley Ever Made, Even the Man himself Evel Knevel rode One, & Harley Never Ever made a Road Version Available to the Public!! Bloody Idiots!! I'm sure like me there are 1000's of Non Cruiser Riders that would have Bought a Registerable Harley XR Flat Track Special if Available!! 🤨

I was there🏍🏁
11:21 Draft and pass from 3rd to 1st place.
58 seconds we will have to decide if we build a new motor or alternately penalise the Honda for having a superior engine.
