1986 AMA Superbike and Formula One at Laguna Seca # 1

Randy Mamola on the Team Kool Roberts YZR500 GP bike.

Old Laguna Seca: lots of straw bales.

Fred Eiker on his ‘Guzzi with a fellow competitor on the side of the track.

Eddie Lawson leads Mike Baldwin down the Corkscrew in the F1 event. Lawson raced in Europe but came back–with his GP bike–every year to race Laguna. Behind them is Honda-mounted Wayne Rainey.

These images were sent to us by photographer James Chen. They were shot at the Laguna Seca AMA national in ’86. This is Trevor Dunn, crashing at the top of the ‘screw.
