In motorcycle racing Todd Harrington will always be remembered for one thing – winning the 1996 Road America AMA Supersport race. In one of the real stunners of the championship’s rich history was Harrington’s victory in Elkhart Lake on a true privateer machine. It marked the last time a true privateer won the factory dominated AMA Supersport Championship before it became a series for young up and comers. Harrington won the ’96 Road America Supersport race on a 4&6 Cycle Kawasaki built by Jim Rashid. This was during the height of factory involvement in the series and privateer bike winning at a high-speed track like Road America made even that much more impressive. The victory helped Harrington earn a factory Kawasaki ride in 1997 when this photo was taken.
