Former racing mechanic Marshall Rautmann was kind enough to send a third batch of photos he snapped at the races back in the 1980s. I love this kind of stuff and I hope you enjoy them as well. Marshall tuned for some fast WERA riders back in the day such as Brian French, Dean Joas, David Klosterman, and John Eidenberger. Thanks again Marshall for letting us share these great photos. Keep ‘em coming Marshall.

Marshall, thanks again for the old pics. My memory is telling me that the shot of the Kosar bikes was from Elkhart. Since I raced an FZ the Kosar bikes were of particular interset to me. There was talk that Kosar was getting our of racing the Yamahas and were looking to sell their racing parts. I was very dissapointed to discover that they wanted to get retail prices for used parts.
