WERA Formula 1 Start – IRP (1985)

Tim Morrissey (No. 854) looks to have gotten the holeshot on his Suzuki GS750E in this WERA Formula 1 race at Indianapolis Raceway Park in April of 1985. Also getting away from the line in this combined race (Formula 1 and another unknown class) are Mike Treadway (No.88), Bob Newby (No. 350), an unknown rider No. 40, “Billy G” Patterson (No. 877), Kathleen Cobern (No. 60), Bob Woods (No.507), Roy Hare (No. 91), unknown rider No. 906, Bill McGuire (No. 47), Tim Knutson (No. 670), Dan Schmitt (No. 450), Ken Davis (No. 64), Steve Tayler (No. 49), Jim Knipp (No. 71), Eric Moe (No. 780), unknown rider No. 750 and Kevin Perry (No. 280). I don’t recall who won the race, but a good guess would probably be Jim Knipp (No. 71) on a Yamaha YZ500.
