Fresh from his start to finish victory over Doug Chandler in the Honda Challenge AMA Superbike Natinal Championship, Honda's Miguel Duhamel stepped back thirty four years in history to ride the legendary, 18,000 rpm Honda 250 cc "Six" that was first raced by Jim Redman in 1964. Miguel was accompanied by his brother, Hooter's Suzuki pilot Mario, on an ex-Agostini MV Agusta 500 Four, and their father Yvon, riding the ex-Dick Mann BSA Triple that he rode to victory last month at Daytona. As the fabulous trio did two fast laps, the howl of thirteen unmuffled cylinders echoed off the hillsides. Said Miguel afterward," this is a fabulous machine. Its power starts at 13,000 rpm. It's light and hadles great!" Brother Mario was surprised at the speed of the twenty-two year old MV fire engine. When told that it could do 180 mph, Mario asked if it was legal for 750 Supersport! Yvon just smiled proudly at his sons. This was truly a special moment in racing history.
