More insight and images from the great http://pwheelie.blogspot.com/
'At the recent Pacific Coast Championships, a full field of Vintage Flat Trackers competed on Pomona's 5/8th Mile. Triumph, BSA , Norton and Yamaha ganged up against a strong contingent of XR 750 Harleys and got spanked. It was great to see Steve Morehead come out of retirement and ride his Harley to a convincing victory. He looked like he could have won the Open Twins class. When Roxy Rockwood would introduce Steve right before the Main at Ascot, " Out of Findley Ohio, Harley Davidson mounted, National number 42...Steeeeve Morehead ! " , the crowd would chant More....Head, More.....Head ,over and over. Some were cheering Steve , some thought it was just a very good idea! Those were the days when it was a real party in the bleachers. There were some Ascot folks in the stands at Pomona. I heard the chant when they introduced him before the Main. I don't know if it fired him up, but he smoked the field.'
