Seeing the way Keener and Springsteen pulled him up on to the podium says a lot about the spirit of flat track that I believe continues to this day. These guys must have the utmost trust and understanding of one another to pitch it into a corner (in excess of 130mph) while "touching". Only real difference between the racing then and now is probably the fact that Kenny got to actually kiss the trophy girl. And were else can these different manufactures (Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, Ducati, KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Triumph and others) get into a pissing contest that isn't gonna overshadowed by how much is being invested into the electronics package...
