I was living in Clearwater fla. in '82, on my way home from work I spotted a Honda box van in a small riding area not to far from Sunshine Speedway in St. Petersburg. Low and behold it was David Bailey and Jim Gibson doing some last minute testing before the national. What stood out to me was how these guys were killing these sand whoops that were 3-4' deep. The suspension was magical and I never heard a 2 stroke that was so throaty. I got talk to both of them for a bit and even they were rock stars they were both very civil to me.
