Greg Tysor leads a group of riders in a good AMA 600cc Supersport battle at Road Atlanta in 1988. This class historically provided some of the closest races in pro racing. Other riders dicing with Tysor include Jamie James (58), Doug Tosten (8) and an unidentified rider No. 17 (maybe John Eldenberger) and another rider partially hidden behind James.

    Larry…….according to the program from Sears 1988 #17(Honda) is listed as John Eldenberger from PT.Washington,Wisconsin

    oddly there’s an 17x listed as John Lowman (Honda)from Silver Springs,MD and also listed is 17xx as Glenn Smith (Kawie)from El Paso,Tx

    Only Eldenberger is listed as entered in both 600 and 750 races

    Thanks for that. I betcha it’s Eidenberger.

    I think 17 is John Lowman, 17 was his usual number and he raced a blk & red Hurricane.

    Looks like it’s going to take Eidenberger or Lowman to figure this out.

    Not John Lowman, his leathers & helmet were red. I dug around and found some old photos.

    I think it’s Eidenberger. Those look like those period Kushitani’s that I remember him in…
