Just all around great race. When he didnt win, Travis was a great sport giving props to the winner and the biggest smile ever. Tiddlers screaming, real outdoor beat up track and even the coverage by Art and David is excellent.

Looked like it hurt when TP over jumped that one near the end. Dizzy

It was a Suzuki-sponsored event.

That's back when a quick A class guy could make enough Suzuki bucks racing AMA District races to get a fresh RM every year.

Thats what I mean, took pictures, etc.

As TFS would say, those were "chemically choked plastic" days for you photo-hounds.

I can't believe it's been 15 years already. I was there working for Donald Upton. The seat fell off on his 250 that day. It was a weird deal. One bolt worked it's way out then the other did too. Both bolts had thread lock on them and were torqued but some how they worked there way out. Never could figure that one out.

Awesome! I've tried to find another RM Cup race with Ben Riddle and Ron Tichenor, to no avail. I can't remember what track it was but it was a good race.
