Kawasaki-mounted drag racers will every class (again)!
The race of the day came down
to the last round of Pro-Stock
between Terry Vance and Sid
Pogue. It was Sid's first outing for
his new Kawasaki KZ 1000 LTD,
and his first defense of the Number
One Plate. Sid was quicker in
the finals and he set a new record
of 148.27 m.p.h. in the process.
Other Kawasaki privateers
dominated the event with 85% of
the bikes in the field and 100% of
the wins to completely swamp the
competition. The pro's know-if
you don 't ride the mean green,
you're gonna have the bayou blues!
Last year it was Hurricane
Frederick on the Gulfcoast
followed by the Green
Kawasaki storm at the 1979
I.D.B.A. World Finals.
Kawasaki-mounted drag racers
won every top eliminator class in
the finals and swept the event
clean.
This year it was a tornado in
Gulfport followed by another Big ~.".
Green Thunderbolt at the 1980
I.D.B.A. Springnationals.
