PBA Flashback: Jon O'Drobinak's '86 Quaker State Win

[20alphabet]

The stars were definitely aligned this week for this lucky guy. He lived a dream only Mr. Roarke could produce on Fantasy Island. Proficient or not, to down the caliber of bowlers on national television as he did is the stuff of dreams. Thanks for posting!!!

Wish this entire telecast was on youtube or somewhere? I remember watching the original telecast and was profoundly impressed with Jon O'Drobinak's performance. I think of him everytime I drive through or hear of Hammond, IN!

@Trelane11267 If someone has the match on VHS and could loan it to me, I can ut the matches here.

This is probably the greatest thing in the history of the world.

Those are Diamond Duramid's. Been around a while but not too popular. Other mechanics I've talked to said the stripes and decals tend to "flake" and leave remnants all over the machines.

Quick question - what in the world pins are they using at the Forum that year? I can't figure it out for the life of me.
