I took this photo of Doug Toland riding the Team Hammer Suzuki endurance machine at Road Atlanta. It was shot from the inside of the turn at end of the back straight just before going under the bridge during the track’s original configuration. The thing I like about this photo is the sunlight filtering through the tress, casting a unique shadow on the track in the background. This photo was featured in a motorcycle racing calender during the mid-to-late 1980s. I don’t recall the exact year.

Toland went on to win a world title in the 1993 FIM World Endurance Championship.
