| Re: Old Sportrider Article Saw this on CEII's site and thought it was a great read: Old Sportrider Article The picture of Rainey on top of the box, and Doohan's and Schwantz's resulting facial expressions from the 2nd and 3rd positions on the podium is priceless....wish I was following MC racing back in those days.... | |

| Re: Old Sportrider Article Yep, they see themselves as the first and second place losers. Unreal, the intensity of true racers. |

| Re: Old Sportrider Article I was lucky enough to work at the USGP's in 90 & 91. Those were fantastic races. If memory serves, Lawson won in 90 and Rainey in 91, but the 'ol brain-housing-group could have things jumbled a bit. |

| Re: Old Sportrider Article One of the saddest days when I heard Rainey was paralyzed. Moto GP is good but just doesn't have the feel that gran prix had in the late 80s early 90s. I still dream of a 500 GP at Laguna Seca. I never got to see one. |

| Re: Old Sportrider Article Quote:
for you are focused now on what will be significant history tomorrow. Will it be as 'good' as then? *What is the definition of 'good'? I am happy to say that I lived through and followed the times and races of Agostini to the present racers we all know. *I wish I had seen Halewood, but could only read about it. *I am certain that it can only get better, and many reading this will enjoy the racing of stars I shall never know. So, enjoy now!!! | |
