In this week’s Throwback we dial back the clock 31 years to March of 1995 and the start of the HP4 AMA 600 Supersport race at Daytona International Speedway. It was Kawasaki’s Pascal Picotte (112) leading the way in this incredibly competitive race. Other riders at the front end of the pack include Steve Crevier (4), Takahito Mori (42), Mike Hale (23), Michael Barnes (34), John Kocinski (169) and many more. Miguel Duhamel (tucked in just behind Picotte) went on to win the race over Kocinski and Hale.
