Steve Morehead (42) makes sure no one is going to sneak underneath him as he hugs the hay bales through a turn in qualifying for the 1984 Houston TT National inside the Astrodome. Giving chase in the photo are Scott Parker (11), Garth Brow (15), Tim Mertens (53) and Jeff Campbell (70). With this being the Last Chance Qualifier only one rider would punch their ticket to the main. That may be the reason for the intensity on the faces of the riders. It was Parker who eventually got around Morehead to win the LCQ to make the national. All the other riders had to watch from the sidelines that night.
