So, I have only been an occasional folower of racing and usually just catch the races I can on TV. Last year I did make the effort to get up at 0600 on Sunday mornings to catch MotoGP on FS1 but have never been the type to read racing hsitory or try to keep up with stats unless I am seeing them during the race. But I actually started watching MotoGP and Superbike in 1990, methinks, a few years before I even learned to ride (I finally got my license when I was 28). I was living in Germany and could catch the racing on several TV channels. It was great!
Well, when I was squaring away my Videopass with MotoGP and WSBK yesterday I decided to watch an old MotoGP race. Donnington 1993. For the first several laps, a local kid named Carl Fogarty was in second place. I was instantly confused! Foggy racing GP? He was the Superbike god when I was watching in the 90's. I didn't know he raced MotoGP. I have strong memories of Schwantz, Rainey, Doohan, McCoy, Haga, but not Foggy. I checked the season results and he only raced in that one.
Did he try to get into MotoGP before going WSBK? Man, he was awesome to wacth in WSBK!
