The year is 1954 and 15 year old drag racer Bobby Sirkegian positions
his '51 Triumph Thunderbird alongside a souped-up, barebones hot rod.
Art Barker host of the hit TV show "You Asked For It" drops the flag and
the two high powered machines launch off down the Pomona,
California drag strip. The race appears to be neck and neck but as the
two cross the finish line Bobby is a full bike length in front. It's a
defining moment in automotive television history and a huge boost for
Triumph motorcycle popularity in the United States. Now almost 60 years
later the "Baby Mine" Triumph Thunderbird is as stunning as ever and has
just changed hands after being in Bobbies possession since he retired
from drag racing in 1956.
