It was 30 years ago today

[O.C.]

That 18 year old Alan Carter won the French G.P, in only his second G.P ride

30 years ago today I was working in a Quick (kinda like McDonalds) in the Bascule in Brussels and riding an XS500.
I was 19 so I guess I wasn't doing as well as Alan at that point.
That was his only GP win ever. Never even got a podium after that.
Talk about beginners luck.
