Here is another picture from the races on the streets of Havana. There were over 100,000 spectators, no barriers, lots of curbs and military men and women with guns that kept the crowd on the sidewalks. It was Daytona gearing for the TZ250's as the straights were very long and very fast down through the Plaza of the Revolution. The second year, 1979, Frank Marazk crashed and went into the crowd. They picked him up, put him back on his bike and pushed him off. Robert Genereux (sp) from Quebec won the 125 class much to the dismay of the Cubans. The first year, I crashed and broke my collar bone after sliding on the oil slick left from all the old American cars with dripping transmissions, motors and rear ends. The emergency vehicle that picked me up was an MZ with a sidecar platform. It was a crazy time with much rum.
