I've only raced at Willow once. I love that track. Dale and I got there the day before and I got to use the track (Honda had it for the day)on a brand new FZ750. Fred Merkle was their guy back then and he and I were the only guys on track. I guess Honda wanted to see what the Yamaha would do. I raced in the endurance race the next day with Dale and we placed second behind Dr. John ( we ran the Harris/Katana 1000). The thing was twice as fast as the Guzzi but they were so consistent while we were sorting things out a few times. We ran the whole west coast that trip, Willow, Sears, Laguna, Seattle, and Portland.
