In 1979, he was a somewh at wild talent - another in a long line of gifted racers to come orr the Michigan dirt track assembl y line. H e 's n ow a sa vvy vetera n who's th e pre-race favorite every tim e he pulls his Bill Wernertuned Harley to the star t line. " You kn ow. it doesn't seem like I've been doing it th at lon g, " Parker said. " But I have. Things just happen so qu ickl y. Before you know it the offseason is over and a new one is here. All the years help me in the long run. I ca n tak e what I've learned. the experie nce , and that's on e th ing I've got over Chris Carr. But you look at J ay (Sringsteen )and he's got even more experience than me. Each guy's got their years of experience and it helps. " His competitors have often said that Parker is at his best in the fina l laps ....of a National, especially at the mi les where only seconds separate th e ent ire field. " 1 think at the end of the race is where that exp erience comes in." Parker said. "T he years of being th ere and thinking about what's going to happen. Plus. the last three or four laps is when it's tim e to start go ing. The pa ce starts picking up and if you feel like you can go faster. that's the tim e to do it.

They've p ut th em on the dyno and gotten 92-94 horsepower right orr the bat - stock. So that's going to help the overall field. There should be some good raci ng in 1990." As it does th is season. the Daytona Short Track opened the AMA Grand National Championship/Camel Pro Series last year, and Parker didn 't fare well. He crashed and left Florida -with zero points in defen se of his championship. Bu t it in no way has dampened his enthusiasm about getting un derway at Daytona. Racing Il6H Telephone No. _ ...
