Buddy Elmore also won at Laconia in '66. Big year for him.
As for the Daytona winning bike, it belonged to Triumph so they took it with them back to England to show it off. It never came back. The new for '67 "Daytona 500" was named in honor of the win. I have a '66T100 with a close serial number I always thought I'd do a tribute replica out of, but.never have had enough time and money to do so! Here is a better pic of the Dalio's bike, note the ARD mag, the BSA 190MM front brake, the race oil tank , factory megaphones, and it has a dual carb conversion. The qualifying sheets for '65 show that it ran 134+mph on the banking in roadrace trim!
