More pics from the past

The year was 1987, the bike was an 88 kx500, the race was the Baja 1000, the riders were Larry Roeseler and Randy Morales......Team Greens first year in Baja and they came to destroy.  Check out the crazy fairing on the front of Roeselers bike for aerodynamics...



This was 1989 at the Baja 1000, the bike was a kx500 and the riders were Larry Roeseler, Ted Hunnicutt Jr and Danny Laporte



This race was the 1995 Baja 500 and the winning riders were Kawasaki's "B" team of Paul Krause and Craig Smith on a KX500.....It wouldn't be till a few hours after this picture was taken that Paul would find out that Danny was killed at the start.



All these are pictures from my friend "Baja" Bill Fuentes' personal albumn.

I once heard my buddy Bill ask Danny Hamel after a race....
"How can someone who looks like a high school band tuba player go so d**n fast on a bike?!"
