Jeff Heino racing his Suzuki at Road Atlanta in November of 1988 during the Suzuki GSXR Cup Finals. I was there the first time Heino raced at Road Atlanta. He was with an endurance team (I think Eatherly Racing) and after practice he came in with his eyes wide opened and said, “Wow, this place is intimidating.” He went on to explain the gravity cavity and coming up blind under the bridge at such high speed was one of the toughest sections he’d ever ridden.
