CRASH at Laguna Seca

This is a crash that I filmed about 1980 at Laguna Seca. Not sure what year it was and it was VHS format. I have know idea who he was or his outcome. I think he was from Canada.

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

I think it was around 1979 or 1980.

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.

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

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