Dude, if Kevin Schwantz wasn't one of the quickest men alive, I think he would get ripped on for his body positioning. Looks pretty crossed up.

My pics from 88-90 were pretty bad, I bought a Canon EOS 630 and a 100-300mm lens for the race in 91 and noticed I could get
alot better pics then I could with my old Manual focus Nikon and JC penny's finest zoom lens. I went and practiced panning at the club races at Willow springs here in So. California before the 94 USGP and got alot better at it.
The 250cc bikes were pretty easy for me but the 500's are a so much faster.

Everyone, say hello to my boss, Luis D'antin, riding like he means it. Thanks for putting these photos up Wayne, they're great!

My pre 91 shots when I used amanual focus camera were not so good. Here is Schwantz in 89 just outside turn 3.

Thanks, I was motivated to join this forum after seeing all the great old photos you posted. I went to Laguna once before the USGP races back in 1983 but I did not get all the great rider photos like you did.

Here is Kel Carruthers pushing Kenny Roberts 680cc bike in 1983.

I don't think I took many sidecar pics, I will check through my old negatives.

Here is another from 1983, Eddie Lawson in the corkscrew.

Sounds like you have a great job then, I just started reading your thread on your job, only 190 more pages to go.

That picture is absolutely awesome.

You don't have a higher res version by any chance, do you (my desktop is 1920x1200 )

Bad ass thread...


I didnt realize they had aero hump leathers back in 93'...its cool to see how tech has evolved.

I scanned a 3.5" x 5" photo for the Lawson corkscrew pic, I lost my 1983 negatives some how over the years. I lost a ton of negatives from superbike and endurance races at Riverside also.
I don't think it would hold up well at 1920x1200.

Wow! Great stuff. The Wayne shots would be fun to paint. But I have enough work to do....................but it's WAYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh what a dilema..............lol

 

[Wayneb]
