In an optical illusion it appears that Scott Gray is racing his Yoshimura Suzuki Formula USA bike through the weeds. I found this old print with no caption on the back. If I were to guess I would go with Seattle International Raceway as the location. I recall a lot of tall grass in the back sections of that track. It also could have been Grattan Raceway, where they sometimes got behind the grass cutting. When Jackie and I used to sell prints at the races I once took advantage of tall grass, got low and did a lot of photos of this nature. The racers didn’t like them at all. They didn’t like the grass obscuring their motorcycles I suppose. The ‘artiste’ in me was deflated.
