Tribute to Miquel DuHamel and his 1999 Daytona Winning CBR600

In 2000, we raced Miquel DuHamel's factory CBR600 motorcycle; he won the Daytona 600cc Pro race on it in 1999. It was claimed after the race in a controversial claiming-rule action and we bought it from that individual.

The first footage is a lap of Daytona Speedway on this bike in the GTU race October, 2000. The second race with the crash is the televised Formula USA race at Pocono earlier in the year. The Pocono footage is two races actually; the rear facing camera is Miquel's CBR600, the forward facing camera is on a CBR929 in the open class. This is before gopros existed, we actually had a camcorder on the bike with a remote wired lens.

This motorcycle and the video were presented at the Sotheby's motorcycle auction on September 15, 2001. The auction went forward, but it was a different world at that point. Let's Roll.
