Some of those pics are from '84 and most are from '83.
Gall was #1 in '83 and #2 in '84. Bennett's leaning on a '84 500 in that shot.

Yeah you're right it is an '83, brain fade. I thought Bennett rode a 125 in the gold cup in '83. Yep that's DW #2.

Thanks Brent,thats why i put ???next to the CR250 as it shows Stuart entered with a twofitty
I don't know my Honda's but that barrel looked too big for a 1/4 litre.

Billet,that photo of Marty is such a great way to remember him and very sad at the same time.
I actually still have the 1980 USGP win at Carlsbad on video that i recorded from wide world of sports on channel 9.
It must have been that same year of maybe a little later.

I agree with you holeshot ;)
