First American to win a 500cc World Grand Prix road race; was battling with Kenny Roberts for the world championship when a crash prematurely ended his career.
Great memories of Pat in New Zealand on the TR750 and RG500 Suzukis where his battles with Greg Hansford were the stuff of legend. One of my all time greats I have seen
Pat was in my homeroom all through high school. I used to see him race at the dirt track in Hayward. When some of my dirt bike buddies and I would go to an empty lot in Foster City sometimes Pat would be there having fun power sliding and doing wheelies. An absolute credit to the sport. Congratulations Pat, you deserve it.
Pat was my best friend when we were kids. Last time I saw him he was racing in Santa Rosa on a Bultaco 200. My cousin Marty told me he got sponsored by Suzuki. I haven't seen him since. Sure would be cool to see him again sometime. Congrats on the Hall of Fame Pat.
Have a look at Aces@Bathurst on Youtube.
