CARLSBAD JINX
Suzuki's Roger DeCoster (1) prepares
for battle at the first USGP at Carlsbad
Raceway in 1973. German rider Willie
Bauer (2), on a Maico, went on to
win that day, while a broken shock
dropped DeCoster back to fifth,
beginning what would, for DeCoster,
eventually become known as the
Carlsbad Jinx.
