Eddie Lawson Hats
Description: Born in Upland, California, Lawson began his motorcycle racing career in the Southern California dirt track circuit. When it became increasingly difficult to find machinery able to compete with the dominant Harley-Davidsons, he switched his attention to road racing. In 1979, Lawson finished the season second behind Freddie Spencer in the AMA 250cc road racing National Championship. Afterwards, he was offered a ride with the Kawasaki Superbike team and won the AMA Superbike Series in 1981 and 1982. He also won the AMA 250cc road racing National Championship in 1980 and 1981 for Kawasaki.
Description: It wasn't until 1980 that Kawasaki fielded a truly factory-backed team, with Eddie Lawson at the controls and Rob Muzzy behind the pit wall. In 1981, that team dominated AMA Superbike racing, laying the groundwork for Eddie Lawson's legacy as one of the world's greatest motorcycle road racers. And it made the KZ1000 one of the most feared track weapons of the era.
