I did Mountain Man from 86 to 90 , 86 was the best track layout I raced there, watching Leisk there in 88 was truly awesome in the second race when he got knocked down in the first turn and come back to first after 3 laps is still burnt into my memory, I have never raced a open class bike there so If I make it this year Ill bring 2.
