Thank you for sharing...VERY informative as usual...I am from Trinidad and Tobago. It was a great pleasure to witness Ricky Gadson go 8.3 on a Kawasaki H2. He currently holds the title of the fastest man on a motorcycle in my country💪🏾

I'm glad we're old(er), but I kind of, sort of miss those 1 am calls to go to Newark ............ I watched Rickey make the weirdest, fastest pass, a 10.77 @ 177 mph at Atco on that killer alcohol 1150, the ProStar pre AMA days. He laid some well deserved and serious props to you, it's ALL true , I'm sure WE ALL honor you for what you do for motorcycle drag racing, you truly go above and beyond to bring us the best of the sport. The one take, unrehearsed, on the fly, seriously informative interviews belong to you, you own it big time Jack. Well done....... as always.
@raynic11734 жыл бұрын
If your numbers are right, then that is not nearly one of his better runs on that bike, hence why you say 'weirdest' the time is slow put the mph is high. He must of had some glitch along the way?
@MasterLee19554 жыл бұрын
@@raynic1173 , yes he did lol, let me see, spun, wheelie, backed way out ,then slammed it. He picked up so much speed after that.

It’s always great to watch Ricky Gadson. He is a great brother with swag and wisdom. I ride but I don’t race, but love to watch others like Ricky handle their business on the track. Tampa, FL in the house. I ride a 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa.
