Bobby,
I have been looking for the 1987 Daytona SX (250) where Hannah leads it (#25) then Omara leads and RJ gets him at the finish. I am fairly sure this is the year, if so, do you know where I can purchase a copy. Had one years ago but let someone take it to watch and never saw it again.
Thanks.

thanks, do you know what year it is then?
It was a double gate start, Hannah rails around the outside and leads, then goes down on the asphalt hurting his arm, Omara is in the lead but RJ sneaks past with lappers in the way. Omara realizes its RJ at the last section and hits the finish line table wide open. He felt that he won it but they gave it to RJ, Omara refused to go to the podium for his second place finish.
Anyway, if you figure out which year this was let me know. Thanks.

Didnt Hannah crash on the pavment and get some gnarly road rash one year too......
Bobby................ answers please.
I recall the race that O'mara launched the finish line was 1982. Raced as an amatuer that year. It was a fairly large normal jump with a deep pit dug out in the landing area that measured about 30-40 feet long. It looked easy after he did it but back in the day it was huge. I bet mini riders would jump it today.
Hannah was 25 on factory honda. Still trying to see if it may be available somewhere.
Thanks.

1985 it is, I will keep looking.
in 83, hannah won daytona.
im sure the race you guys are trying to remember is 84, i remember hannah fell and hurt his wrist but didnt see it. i thought it was Omara that hit the wall crossing the pit road.
Pit Row
I think I remember a heat race in 86 maybe? where Johnson and Omara were wide open going through the rough shit before the finish and Omara lost and was pissed.
1984 DB wins. RJ second on the last yellow YZ. O'mara third.
