Re: [ST] Rossi unhappy with US track

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roberts, Mamola, Lawson and all those boys used to tear up Laguna when 
it had a lot less run off than it does now. I don't remember hearing 
them complain at all.  And that was on the old circuit which was a lot 
faster, and before the new paving that got rid of some really nasty 
bumps.

One of my favorite memories of Roberts was watching him go through what 
was then turn 7 (just after the corkscrew). Anybody that has ridden 
Seca in the 80s knows how bumpy that corner was. Roberts figured the 
fastest way through the bumps was to just wheelie around the corner, 
that way there was only one tire bumping around. Pretty damn 
impressive.
