CLASSIC SUPERBIKE RACING ASSOCIATION
P90
Feature
race seeing how fast qualifiers Dale Quarterly, (of AMA
Superbikes fame), and local AFM vintage racer Edwin
Haazer, no slouch either, were both about four seconds
faster in qualifying. Their big 1000cc-plus Kawasakis had
17-inch wheels and modern rubber, which really made
a difference in terms of lap times. They weren't the only
ones with 17-inch rubber, but nevertheless we
all lined up and got on with it.
I got an okay start but took it easy to
let the tires warm. Tire warmers did not
exist back in the day so in order to rep-
resent the true nature of historic racing
I went without them.
