Road Atlanta and little TalladegaGPR were my home tracks. That's the best part of living around Atlanta: Road A/TGPR/Roebling Road/Kershaw/Memphis/Barber/VIR/Jennings GP are all within 8 hours of here! Kershaw (Carolina Motorsports Park?) and Jennings are the only ones I've never ridden.
In 91, Colin was on pole for the GNF's in B Superbike on an RC30. I was in the middle of the 3rd wave for the start on a ZX6 Ninja. I finished 23rd, Colin put a lap on me just before I took the white flag, passing me on the inside of the FAST downhill turn 12 at Road Atlanta.
Earlier in '91, I was racing in Memphis. During practice I passed 2 kids on Honda 125's onto the front straight and gapped them hard (600 vs 125's, c'mon).
As I threw it into turn 3, 2 kids on 125's stuffed up under me and took off as though I had stalled. I later found out that they were Nicky (age10) and Tommy (age 13). "Keep an eye out for those two" I was told at the time:)
