Yah it was Archie Urcoli... I think he's from maybe Philly ? I met him
about three weeks after he did that trick, at the Lime Rock CT. vintage
sporty car races in Sept 1997.... he was on a balloon tired '56 Schwinn
when I met'em... -no foolin. He liked Boogie Woogie and that's why he
rode by to talk. I have the footage of the spin too. cool ain't it. Told
me that he learned that real wide treaded tires and salt don't mix.
Archie's also got an original honest ta' gawd D-Jag he road races.....must
be nice.

I've got a video of one doing about three 360s to
the right, then two to the left, with most of the
body panels blowing off in the course of the
spins. That might be the one you're talking
about. It is very interesting to watch!
