I rode it (1994, 1996). Its a joke. I learned waaaaay more

IIRC, the first year I rode (1982) was Gutowsky's last
year, which probably means that Chris' first year riding
Little 500 was 1979. Hence, I'd expect that Bob was a Bill
Brissman fan.
Cheers, -- Ed Prosser
P.S. I don't know about Little 500 being a joke. Comparing
it to UCSF or NCAA intercollegiate racing is not apples-to-
apples. I just remember it was a blast, and a serious
impediment to academic studies.

One thing that I noticed in the photos was the lack of
fans in the stands. I remember the throngs in "Breaking
Away". What gives ? Were the photos from a training run,
or qualifier ? I would have loved to have ridden it
during college.
