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!!

  • I raced from 94-98...loved it. Definitely some great memories. Still think about going back to Summit for a race or two a year. Suzuki gsx-r 750, #570. If you ever run across any footage, please post! Thanks for the vidoe. :-)))

  • Nice race

  • I saw you on the side of the track with a broken down bike 0:51
