In 1966, Robert Winters took first place in the 250 Grand Prix in Daytona, California, riding a Yamaha motorcycle. After a decade of professional racing, Winters went on to stunt and camera work in movies. By 1975, Robert Winters had moved seriously into test-driving, riding for Goodyear, Kawasaki, and others. Winters is a strong advocate of safety equipment and road safety.
Currently on display at the Fort Smith Museum of History is “Motorcycle Memories.”
The exhibit showcases Fort Smith resident Robert Winters’ achievements (winning Daytona Bike Weeks) and profiles “motorcycle maven” Erice Gann of Fort Smith.
The exhibit runs through September 1.
