Mitch Friedman happened to catch a great photo during the 1987 San Jose Mile with Bubba Shobert, Chris Carr, Doug Chandler and Scott Parker standing side by side during rider introductions.
This quartet represents four of the all-time greats of AMA Pro Racing. Between them you can count 215 AMA Grand National Championship race wins and 23 premier class national championship (Including Chandler and Shobert’s AMA Superbike titles).
To top it all off, Shobert and Chandler are owners of the fabled AMA Grand Slam, accomplished by only four riders in history (Kenny Roberts and Dick Mann being the other two).
