Russ Collins RC Fuel Injection Honda engine dragracer 1973 motorcycle drag race

Description

A superb and rare photo of
RC Fuel Injection creater, Russ Collins and his Honda dragracer in 1973.
Russ Collins began drag racing motorcycles in the late 1950s. By the mid-60s, he was an authority on high performance motorcycle engines. In 1969, Russ began racing Honda 750s and designed the first, four-into-one motorcycle exhaust header. He started RC Engineering to manufacture that product.
Before the end of the year, he'd set the first ever National Hot Rod Association track record for a Japanese motorcycle and was winning races on RC Engineering-built Hondas at a time when Triumph and Harley-Davidson dominated the sport. Not only was Collins, himself, setting records and winning but so were his customers. Russ Collins became a drag racing legend and RC Engineering became
the
place to go for high performance parts for Japanese bikes. Its motto was and remains today: "We prove our products in the face of our competitors."
This is a very nice and very rare
non period
photo that reflects a wonderful and very historic era of drag racing history in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to own this photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x 12" (ca. 20 x 30 cm). It makes it perfectly suitable for framing!
