Sorry, typo, it was the Tobacco Trail Classic race. Upper Marlboro was a road course, I found a video on youtube....

Some more pictures of Jules’ KR, these from 1966, sporting some nifty new bodywork.
Sorry for the photo quality, these are scans of faded Polaroids…

And a magazine photo from the Daytona 200 that year. Jules said his bike was running in third when halfway thru the race a valve broke. Jules blamed Harley as the valves were made in three pieces and it came apart. His rider was Don Twigg

And here is Jules wrenching on the bike

I believe he sold this bike to some guys from South Jersey, I can’t remember their names.

Thanks for the pictures and the bike must be a KRTT with those brakes. Does the TT appear in the engine number?Comment

Steve,
I never saw the bike, he sold it in the late 1960’s (I was a child back then). Jules told a few stories about it and had these few photos.Comment
