The Trans AMA is now underway - and Kawasaki
is ready. Team Captain Jim Weinert, the first
American to win a Trans AMA overall victory,
is ready. The current AMA 500cc National champion
, is fully recovered from the knee injury that cost
him that title for 1977.
Teammate Gary Semics came within seven points of
keeping Weinert's championship in Kawasaki hands.
At New Orleans, in the series closer, he fought
right down to the last corner. Gary won the race,
but lost the series. That's racing.
Gary is ready, too.
With the return of the Europeans and the Trans AMA,
Kawasaki looms as a definite threat.
During the '250, 500 and -Super Series, which
Jim Weinert won, a total of 46 motos were run.
Weinert and Semics won 15 of those motos and
posted seven overall victories. That puts Kawasaki out in front of all other
manufacturers for total wins.
Weinert and Semics will be joined by Terry Clark, ./
of California desert racing fame, on this year's
Trans AMA circuit The three of them will be joined by all new
Kawasaki machines.
We don't have to tell you about our riders'
potential. Their results illustrate what you
already know. But it is nice to be able to say
"We know why you ride," and have the results to
back it up.
