Mike Harth (7), Cam Roos (16) and Jamie James (10) race together coming out of turn six at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wis., during the 1989 AMA 750cc Supersport race. This was an infamous race where a crash started by David Sadowski getting too hot into turn five resulted in Doug Chandler and Jamie James crashing out of the race. Sadowski (who ran off the track, but didn’t go down in the incident) famously walked over to the Yoshimura Suzuki pits after the race, turned his cheek to James and told him to go ahead and punch him as hard as he could because he deserved it. James didn’t take him up on the offer. Roos got past Harth to finish fourth, behind Scott Russell, Sadowski and Scott Zampach.
