83!

anybody got any pics from this race?

Scott, did we go to that race together? I remember JV and Randy T (it was the one where the mains were run in the parking lot behind Goldblatt's, due to the rain and subsequent tornado, right?)

Also remember rolling up on Ronnie and Richie on I-57 and saying "Did you see the tornado?"

Ronnie thought we were saying "do you have a Ford?" Finally he said "F this, I can't hear you!" and floored it.

That's a cool artifact Damon!

I have one of those bandana's. Posted it a few years ago. They are real cool to look at.

Mike,
you admit to hanging out with Mr. JV. I would incriminate myself like that. hahaha

I have a blue one. Mike, does this soound familiar? My team manager will be here anytime, or something like that...

I guess I am doing something wrong! Bob already has a custom "handle".
THE Bob Poffinbarger.... man, what do I have to do......

damon,what a coincidence few weeks ago i found mine nos still folded up from back in the day thinking about putting it in a frame i remember that race was in some kind of parking lot started out as lightning next thing ya no full blown tornado. bet me and u are the only ones that still have it for i have not seen any others

how about the results page from this race..anybody?
im thinking champaign,il...
is that right?

I'll trade you a 1985 Loverboy "Lovin' Every Minute Of It" bandanna for that...

If he doesn't trade you for it Jeff Manning will buy it off ya

That is classic!

It was 1983. I was told to stay at the office that weekend to work on the next issue of ABA Action. But when Warne did the artwork for the bandana...he added me on the right hand border. That's me with the afro and Denny Griffiths next to me with the camera.

I still don't know which was worse, staying in the office all weekend on deadlines, or being there in Illinois at the "Tornado National".

There weren't any results...THERE WAS A TORNADO!!!
hahaha

I think the bandanas were sent as a consolation along with a refund for the race.

thats right
the jumps blew away ...
i do remember racing motos
or practing or something
