Summit Point WV motorcycle road racing, WERA, CCS, 10/5/1996

I transfers this from an old VHS tape that I found, its from 10/5/96 at Summit Point in West Virginia I am sure that it is a WERA weekend because my WERA number was 229 and my CCS number was 226. The race was D Super Bike (I think) and the bike was my first street bike a 1989 Honda Hawk 650, the bike was Super Sport legal. I would like to thank my Dad, for the shaky camera work and my Mom, for the nervous audio commentary. At about 1:05 into the video you can hear my mom give me an unofficial track record time of 1:10 you can call it a hi 1:10, I would even take 1:11. That would have smashed the track record at the time of 1:18.33 set buy Glenn Szarek on a YZF 1000. Hell it even smashes the current newly paved Summit Point record of 1:13.92 set by Robert Jensen on a GSXR 1000. If I only had a transponder on my bike then I would be famous!!!! I think that I finished 6th maybe 5th I can't remember, my average lap times on the Hawk were in the 1:30s. The older I get, the faster I was! I hope you enjoy.

Nice video, you had some balls passing out if the carousel like that. We still race there, come out and play sometime, the vintage crowd is the best there is!!
