Anyone have a photo or video clip of I believe '93 Tampa or Orlando when Craig on his #24 Kawi had checked out during the 250 main by jumping the whole whoop section only to wad on the same jump?

It was actually Pontiac 1993. Here you go, the wreck is at the 36 minute mark. The best one is at the beginning of the main. Both Cooper and Craig were clearing this whole section and Copper nearly lands right on top of MC.

Those are some cool pictures. I have an old jersey that Mike Craig signed 20 years ago and last year Cristian signed it right next to his dad.

Love this shot! Reminds me of my childhood. I was a always a fan of Craig. This looks like Mt. Morris 96'. RR14 in pursuit on the Primal Impulse Honda...I miss those days.

I loved the clean, bright look of this era. This and the yellow and blue color schemes like Erik Kehoe were my favorites.

I read somewhere, I think it might have been a Pulp interview with Bob Oliver... That motor was a beast, yes, but apparently the reason they got out of the gate so good was the geometry of the frame and the swing arm, it would just crank down and put a lot of traction on the rear wheel...

The Japanese engineers would measure the depth of the wheelspin and that thing would apparently dig down an inch or two further than all the other bikes... It seemed like that got every single holey back then....

I remember seeing Mike rip the hell out of Barona Oaks on a YZ80 back in, like, '83 or '84. His style really didn't change much as he got older either, he was balls-to-the-wall pretty much all the time.
