Eddie Lawson was undoubtedly one of the greatest motorcycle racers of modern times, claiming four 500cc world titles and 31 Grand Prix victories while racing for three different manufacturers.Lawson bridged the gap: At the start of his 500cc career he lined up as Kenny Roberts team-mate and in his final season was racing with Alex Barros and future world champion Alex Criville.In the nine years between, he beat the likes of Spencer, Sheene, Gardner, Rainey, Schwantz, Doohan, Mamola, Sarron, Roche, Magee and Haslam, showing the cool head and consistent speed that would earn him his Steady Eddie nickname.Having won four world titles, Lawson ever the rebel turned his back on the mighty Japanese manufacturers to join Italian underdogs Cagiva, giving them their first GP victory in his very final year of Grand Prix competition.After retiring from the Grand Prix circuit, Lawson came out of retirement to win the Daytona 200 for a second time, before turning his attention to four wheels culminating in an entry in the 1996 IndyCar championship.The Early YearsEddie was born into a motorcycle-orientated family on March 11, 1958, in the appropriately named Upland hills on the outskirts of Los Angeles, California.Lawson was just 7 years old when he first threw his leg over a 80cc minibike and soon after joined many of the young 'throttle junkies' growing up in the area, whose natural outlet was through frantic ultra-competitive racing on the hastily made local dirt tracks.Crucially for Eddie, he didnt just ride dirt bikes and benefited from early road racing experience something that fellow LA rider Wayne Rainey didnt sample until much later in his career and by combining the two disciplines the full-time transition to tarmac would prove much easier.Dirt trackingDespite dabbling in road racing, as for nearly all LA racers, it was dirt tracks that were Eddies priority and he rose 'steadily' through the club racing ranks reaching the heady heights of AMA Expert status, at the age of 19, in early 1978.However, as Rainey two years his younger - would later find, the Grand National scene was a tough place for guys in their late teens no matter how talented.After two years and after 'only' reasonable results to show for his efforts, a pivotal moment in Eddies career was reached: He was conscious that road racing success [albeit in club racing] was coming much more naturally to him, should he take it more seriously?Road RacingSpurred on by his success, Lawson finally made the full-time switch to Road Racing in 1980, having clinched a deal to ride a Kawasaki in both the AMA Superbike and AMA 250cc GP championships.Any fears Eddie might have had about making the move soon evaporated when his diverse two-wheeled talent saw him win on both the 1000cc four-stroke and 250cc two-stroke even taking the championship first time out in the latter, and narrowly missing out on SBK honours.1980 also saw Lawson introduced to a rival he would race not only for the domestic championships but later the World 500cc Crown 'Fast' Freddie Spencer.Spencer was already a factory Honda star by 1980 and the 'face off' between Honda and Kawasaki / Spencer and Lawson was the story of the 81 season, and crucially it was Lawson who triumphed both in the 250s and SBK series.Eddie successfully defended his Superbike crown in 1982, again with Kawasaki, this time teamed with a young Wayne Rainey, brought on board on Eddies instruction.
