Daytona Supercross Start (1981)

An exciting shot showing the intense first-turn action at the 1981 Daytona Supercross as captured by photographer Tom Mueller. You see Honda’s Jim Gibson (7) already well through the turn, while bunched behind him are eventual winner Darrell Shultz (14), Mike Twigg (71), Goat Breker (20), Dave Hollis (52), Mickey Kessler (27), Arlo Englund (15), Chuck Sun (4), Bill Grossi (35), Jimmy Ellis (30) and many more. If you look closely in the middle it looks like Mark Barnett (5) might be going down. And check out the photographer possibly standing on a haybale trackside calmly shooting. As mentioned, Shultz won the race that day over Donnie Cantaloupi and Gibson.
