Bob Sandy races aboard the Hinshaw Racing Honda RC30 during a WERA National Endurance race at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in September of 1990. The Hinshaw Honda RC30 was completely stock. Sandy reported the bike was the best handling machine he’d ever ridden, but was also woefully underpowered in stock form compared to the other Heavyweight machines. Hinshaw ran second the first half of the race, primarily on the strength of Sandy’s riding. Later they dropped back after the bike ran out of fuel and then team owner Darwin Hinshaw crashed the Honda in the final turn. In spite of all their issues the Hinshaw Racing still finished sixth overall.
