The modern day, limp wristed MOTO GP riders would not even spectate at this deadly venue, however this was the golden era of 500GP and these were truly some very hard and dedicated men. Jack Middleberg among the best of them, reminded of the Daytona 200 story, back in the 70's. A major competitor (who will remain nameless) could not be found in the pits, ten minutes prior to the start. Somebody had the bright idea of checking his van and sure enough, there he was, casually smoking a huge joint. His pitman screams: "comon' (Nameless) the race is about to start!!!" Our hero makes it to the start of the warm up lap with ten seconds to spare...and proceeds to ride to a very respectable forth position...all the while will feeling very little pain do to the liberal application of...shall-we-say, less than legal medication!!!
Ik think especially back then, the medication was perfectly legal in holland ;-) This circuit is not far from my parents house, so special feelings about it.
The best era...? Are you sure? In this race? 90 % of the riders there were amateurs who will be riding today in a club race, with the same bike they would be using to go to the bakery. And all my respect to them, who were risking, but let's put things in perspective
Zonder elektronische vangnetten gewoon racen zoals het bedoelt is.Toen racen nog rijden op gevoel was. Mooie tijd inderdaad wat hadden we toch goede coureurs
