1960 Peoria National Championship TT races

Between 15 and 20 thousand people watched Joe Leonard win the 45 cu. in. title and Bart Markel the 30 cu. in. championship in the 14th running of the Peoria national championship TT races..

Leonard wins 45", 80" to Markel; Resweber again National Champ by scant 4 points.

Bottom left: Joe Leonard slides around Bart Markel in the 45" National as Roger Reiman follows closely. Joe won easily, setting a new record time for the event.

1969 Daytona Motorcycle Racing Article & Photos

Photo Captions:

They don't get any closer than this. Rod Gould gets ready to pass national number one Gary Nixon on the outside. Soon after this Nixon's Yamaha loosened some head bolts and had to make an emergency pit stop.

Here's one of the entrants working off some of the tension of pre-race waiting. Dont laugh, those unicycles are one of the best methods for perfecting balance and coordination.

Rayborn and Pierce diced back and forth for many laps until Cal's Kawasaki gave him temporary shifting problems. Rayborn and Pierce were running second and third here.

Four of the best, dicing it out, with Ron Gould leading Mike Duff, Cal Rayborn and Gary Nixon close behind. These pros mixed it up like this for most of the race.
