Yup. There's no obvious clues.

Ray was a hero of Joey's and an absolute gentleman. He was the man to beat as Joey learned his craft.

McCullough retired and learned to deal with it,Joey never could give it up.

Both can easily be mentioned alongside Rossi and Marquez. Just different times.

The legend is that the circuit used to pay for the old dear who lived there to go on trips out on race days.

The bike is a GSX1100, came out in 1980 (I think), so 80 or 81.

A point for the rider.
A point for exact bike.

Half point for track.

I was going to say Cadwell, but a second look and I think it's Mallory, the bike is a Honda, maybe a 5 cylinder 125

I refuse to Google to find the answer.
