Todd Poindexter – Grattan Raceway (1986)

Todd Poindexter leading Gary Jeffries and another rider  in a WERA event at Grattan Raceway in May of 1986. If memory serves besides being a good sprint rider Poindexter was part of the successful PDQ Racing WERA National Endurance team. I was saddened to hear Todd passed away a few years ago.

  1. Larry,
    I don’t think it is me. I never had any leathers like that and rarely ran the 750 classes. At an 86 Grattan I was probably racing the FJ600 and one of my Honda 500 singles.

  2. Thanks for this one Larry.

    I was still working with Todd at Northwest Airlines when he passed away. I had received a voicemail from him as he sat on the plane, just 10 minutes before his cardiac arrest. How sad. I put together his R1 he crashed the year before at Road Ameerica in order for his father to sell it. I miss Todd tremendously. I gave part of his eulogy and even then mentioned some lighter moments of the racing days, particularly when he wrecked Steve Clines FJ1200 at the Nelson Ledges 24 hour.

    Good to see your still kickin!!!

    Your friend,

    John
