Howerton says "uh oh" here comes Hannah!

Sunday, May 13, 2012


I've been traveling and got a bit behind on the Retro MX posts...so just to keep your chomps a bit wet for more, here's a snapshot from the heat of the action.  Kent Howerton and Bob Hannah were never friends and the state of that relationship produced epic early 1980's racing action.

Once again the open face helmet allows Howerton's facial expression to tell the story.  He's locked and loaded for an exit from the turn, but it seems he's aware it's Hurricane season.

I can't seem to imagine carrying a championship pace lap after lap, especially when one is getting nudged in the behind from some dude with a lightning bolt on their jersey. Those were good days and that was some hot racing.
