Brad Lackey's mechanic was, and now again is Steve Stasiefski-saw him at Jefferson, Tx wrenching on Brad's 82- Suzuki,USD Simons UDX 60s and all just like it was. I also watched Steve repair some Maico forks.

BTW Brad's birthday was yesterday-same as mine-except I am 40 and Brad now qualifies for discounts at several restaraunts ;D ;D

I'd guess that Leisky's first GP was the US or Canadian in the 500 class in '88 the year before he went to Europe. It was Vromans that went the wrong way in the first turn in '82, Lackeys team mate and title contender.

If the rider that turned the wrong way in Luxembourg had been Hakan Carlqvist , he would probably have been Fakan Quitepissed off & maybe pulled up for a beer stop during the race  ;D.

      Cmon The easiest question with a ozzie rider and you only get it half right, Craig dack did indeed ride a 250 yam but not for chesterfield.  He rode a ------ Yam.     Oh and top marks for the brit 250 GP and a young ozzie called leisk.  I think he went on to bigger and better things ;)
