Rockin’ Racer

I’m not 100 percent sure, but I think this is Taylor Knapp as a toddler playing on a toy called the Rockin’ Racer during a WERA race weekend at Grattan Raceway sometime in the late 1980s. The Rockin’ Racer was the only road racing related toy I can remember from that era. If this is Taylor you can see that he was getting an early start in becoming a racer. He even has his own set of leathers. (Larry Lawrence photo)

  1. You are 100% correct. This is my nephew Taylor Knapp. Not long after this picture he was actually on the real thing. Local papers even covered the little guy doing what seemed impossible. He just seemed to small to be on a bike by himself.
