    I have found the problem with drinking any alcohol before riding a mistake.....but I thought it was only Joel Roberts that actually pulled in for a drink and then went on to win. He was good though.....and I thought Heikki M after winning the championship on the first race had a drink but only cruised around coming in 6th in the second race?

    Any comments?

    The whisky back then was more pure and didn't have any additives like today so therefore it did not cause you to crash like the whisky today does.:thinking:

    I don't think Joel made it a habit of drinking and racing. He was actually pretty serious about training, and probably did that as a stunt to psyhc everybody out, like when he smoked a cigarette at a race.
