Description

The book is divided into the following sections:

  • “Permanent Questions” and “Backstage Pass,” in which Kevin Cameron and John Owens individually describe their long-standing friendship and the complementary personal and professional traits that led to the creation of this book
  • “Origins of AMA Superbike Racing,” a synopsis written by Cameron about the production-based machines that have evolved during the past 50 years into the focused sportbikes represented today in MotoAmerica and World Superbike 
  • “Plates” is the centerpiece of the book, with Cameron’s astute descriptions of Owens’ photos—most never previously published—which span the “toddler” years of AMA Superbike from 1976 through 1986
  • “Cameras and Film,” a brief overview of Owens’ introduction to photography and the three cameras, related equipment and types of film he used to produce the images published in the book
  • In “Acknowledgements,” Owens expresses his gratitude for those who helped make this book a reality, from many years ago, when he originally took the photos, to the long-awaited finished product
