Foster Leads the Pack at Firebird (1995)

Mark Foster leads the way over a talented pack of AMA 250 Grand Prix riders at the 1995 AMA Road Race National at Firebird International Raceway in September of 1995. Chasing Foster are Mike Sullivan (No. 74), Randy Renfrow (No. 96), Al Salaverria (No. 22), and Greg Esser (No. 26). Foster held off all these guys to finish fifth, matching his best finish of the season. He did this in spite of Installing the wrong rear shock spring just before the race causing him to, as he said “ride it sideways everywhere.” (Henny Ray Abrams photo)
