This is the 3rd and last part (for now) of Don Cammorata growing up "motorcycle mad" in NorCal during the seventies. These shots gimme the goosebumps! They are from the 'grid of Laguna Seca. Check the names on the leathers: Craaazy! Real Shotcallers!
"I'm guessing this is 1971 -72. Remember this is just me and Dad hanging out on the starting grid at a Laguna Seca Grand Prix.... No big deal at the time! Maybe he had some special pass, he did own a Kawasaki shop at the time, but I don't think so.. It's just the way it was back then!"
And last but not least, the Man himself in the seventies: DON!
Good Year hat: check...Hang Ten shirt: check...long hair and shredded jeans: check!
