bad crash mid 80's help

Ok put on your thinking caps...............

A buddy and I were talking tonight and we remembered a crash back in the 80's where the winner of a moto gp or AMA superbike race stopped his bike just beyond the start/finish to do a burn out and was hit by another rider. It was a bad crash ending the careers of both riders and I believe one died and the other was left a para.
What we can't remember is the race and the racers names???

help....

It was between Bubba Shobert and Kevin Magee. Magee stopped to do burn outs around turns 5-6, unfortunately he was in the middle of the track. Shobert smashed into him and ended up with really severe head injuries, never racing again. Magee had a broken ankle and I guess a ton of bruises.

"I'll never understand why he chose to do that right in the middle of the racetrack," Lawson said of the 1989 Laguna incident.

""Clearly if Magee had known the ramifications of what he would cause he would have never done it. Burnouts on the cool-off lap weren't really that common then and I guess I've always wondered why he did it in the middle of the track." Kevin Schwantz.

Even if its not the one you remember, it sounds damn nasty.
