I didn't know Richard Petty raced motorcycles, too.

Anyone remember Larry Huffman's radio program Motorcycle World. It aired on the West Coast on Sunday nights on KOLA 99.9 from 1985-1986. I was trying to do a search on it but can't find any info. They had a real edgy intro tune they would play. Back in the day that was only way to find out who won the GP and Superbike racing on the same day. They even covered local road racing with results Anyone know the name of that song/artist ?
