Springer at Indy

When you think of Jay Springsteen in Indianapolis, the Indy Mile immediately comes to mind, but WERA racers and fans were thrilled when the racing legend showed up to race a WERA regional sprint race at Indianapolis Raceway Park in April of 1990. Springer raced a Yoshimura-built Suzuki GSXR750 and had some strong finishes in a field full of talented road racers. He finished fifth in both the Formula USA (regional) and B Superbike races. In this photo Springsteen leads Tommy Sloan and Kevin Rentzell in what is probably the B Superbike race.
