I'm thinking this was earlier than 1980. I was a track guard there part time in 79 and 80 and all dangerous turns were lined with hay bales and/or Firestone 500 recalled radial tires at that time. The bank in this video was still dirt.

I do remember Kenny Roberts being in that race, Yellow bike in the lead.

Perhaps someone with more time to burn on the net might find a program with a #14 rider for that period and learn more?

That's crazy how unsafe the track was back then.

[71fordpinto]

I think it was around 1979 or 1980.

I don't think he's dead, but his left leg it definitely broken.

[sjctennispro00]

[71fordpinto]

We have no idea who that person is?

It Can't Be Wayne Rainey Coz It Says On Wikipedia He Had A Career-Ending Crash In ITALY Not Laguna Seca =]

[rodneystar]

i'd hazard a guess that his injuries were more extensive than a broken leg. that bank really stopped him fast.
