#38-Steve Wise/Honda Factory, #88 Roberto Pietri/Honda Factory, #43 Mike Baldwin/Honda Factory, #21 Eddie Lawson/Kawasaki Factory. Not sure about #99? Cool shot, looks to be '82 for sure with the Honda guys all on the CB900F-based 1025cc inlines. Also the stripes on the tanks give it away, '81 was more of a solid/dual strip on the tank.

You bet man!

It was bugging me bad, so I went back to the library to check. According to my Road America '82 program, Rusty Sharp was entered at Elkhart Lake on the #99 Honda superbike, but not a factory entry. I don't recognize the locale of this shot, but AMA #'s didn't jump around too bad within each season in those days.
