One of the highlights, Ben meets our own Paul Ritter, winner of the very first Superbike race at Sears Point in 1977, then won it again in 1978. Paul had two races at Laguna, on a 900SS, and placed 4th in 1977 (the first AMA Superbike race at Laguna) and second in 1978, setting the Superbike lap record during that race, when he had to run down the leaders after getting a miserable start, then finished in 2nd place, only about 10 feet behind Wes Cooley's Yoshimura Suzuki.
