The King Returns














Saturday night during the Indianapolis Moto GP weekend means just one thing. Dirt track racing at the Indy Mile.

There was extra interest this year as "King" Kenny Roberts returned to the scene of his legendary 1975 victory at the mile, and was reunited with the fearsome 2 stroke Yamaha TZ 750 which he famously tamed to take that win.

Roberts was joined by a certain Valentino Rossi, who was rumoured to be thinking about having a couple of laps on the TZ. Perhaps wisely he thought better of the idea, declaring, "this night is for Kenny Roberts."
