With a name like "Dave Starr" you couldn't find sponsorship, proof that capitalism doesn't work, lol.

I was an American privateer road racer that went to Canada and made out with a production RG500 Streetbike. Sadly they were a year or so behind in the desired wheel brake combo. I highly modified this bike to race in the categories WERA deemed my bike eligible. WERA is a North American entity that accepted the RG500 Canadian model as a “Superbike”. The combo worked really well for the multi roles I used the bike for. I had a TZ250 that later became my open class weapon of choice. Honestly no one could compete with the YZR’s or the Methanol Monsters of Team Hammer but it was all a money race way back deep through the field. A Run What Ya Brung free for all money class.

I raced on Friday and Saturday and watched this on Sunday. Good times. I would love to see the whole race again.

Hey were you anywhere near that big crash that stopped the 6 hr? I was in that race too.

Awesome find, I forgot I was in this one, mid pack and out gunned on my RG500 superbike, but it was a blast.

They came to Shannonville On for a meet back in 1990, that Yamaha was a beast on the backstretch, swinging those 1340 Gsxr like toys!👍

I miss the old Road Atlanta track. Gravity Cavity RIP.

Kurt Hall was a great ambassador for the sport.

Is starting from the back of the grid going to be a disadvantage? No not really... Fucking legend.

omg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! need moreeeeee this is truly a great feeling to find archive video of such motorcycle greats

Wow Formula USA !! never seen before and was searching for this a long time ,please all you have of 1990 and 91 THANKS

I wish my vcr still worked. I have tons of races from all over from the late '80's early '90's. Lots of ama, gp and what little FUSA there was on tv at the time.

Dude! Transfer those videos to digital and post them on KZread!

Best race class of all times !!! Lee shierts on the 250 finsihed 4th one season ...crazy shit. The yzr500 was unbeatable

What a great series. Like the Can-Am series for motorcycles. On some tracks a 250 GP was fastest and used by some teams. I'm thinking Dave Sadowski successfully rode a 250 several times.

I was in the 6 hr endurance race that weekend, got 4th. I love that track!

They are hoping to add all of the Formula USA races to the new Two Wheels TV network. WERA is onboard so we'll see how it goes.

Scott could do 22's on the old layout. ive never seen anyone better there and i was there. i thought 27's were fast.

oh god thats too much of a tease ! uggggh! lol great video though! Thanks a ton !

Wish I could go back then

I had forgotten about this series until watching this video. Believe the rule book stated, the motorcycle must have 2 wheels....it was wide open as far as what machine you chose to race.

Not sure about the race gas. I seem to recall the Kenny Roberts team starting out with 250 GP machines that ran with nitrous oxide to stay up with the Superbikes of the day. Of course, that all changed with the 500 GP bikes arrived.

@@billymc2681 not sure about the nitrous never head that and not to sure it would last. I saw Rich Oliver and Peterson compete with the 250 2strokes at Pocono they were definitely down on power but to this day I remember Oliver banzai late braking going into turn one. He came down the long straight away and split two liter bikes with insane corner entry speed. Really impressive ride he finished second or third. To beat all those other 1000' s 1100's on a little 250 was really something. The next year they had the 500cc GP Yamahas and easily won.

Please tell me you have more of this, great video

This was when there was Zero Pansy Modes on the Bikes like there is Today .The Computer Algorithiam Does More of the Riding than the Person Riding on Top of those Goofy Computer bikes.

awsome! go the oldschool beasts big talent to tie them in knots!

Too funny, was thinking the same thing, it would be perfect if he was sponsored by 'Ghost Busters", lol.

Had Wayne Rainey been on his Yamaha GP500 scooter he would have ran away and hid from this field...whoever was riding it (never heard of him), he looked completely overwhelmed.

Robbie Peterson. He was a South African former GP rider. He was capable, and was runner-up to Rich Oliver, also on a Kenny Roberts YZR500, in the 1991 FUSA series.

One year they brought 250s and 500s. Peterson was not familiar with the track at all. The 500 sounded so awesome going down the back. Russel blistered all their asses that day though. Quite a show he put on for sure.

One for teh South African...
