TT. road-racing, and moto-cross was held at Coda's Restaurant in Buena Park. It turned out to be the !1nest held to date. A total 01 148 reservations were received for the dinner, but somehow a whopping 198 enthusiasts showed UP. At first it looked like many would not be able to be served due to the lack 01 seating. but all was set right with the addition 01 a few chaIrs on the end of tables by the patient waitresses who were being ribbed constantly. After drinks and dinner the awards ceremony was underway. Spec1alawards were handed out for the ACA's first annual 12 hr. endurance race at Wlllow Springs Raceway. Some of the many people behind the scenes who contribute so much time and work received recognition for their efforts. Sid Chambers awarded a special plaque to ACA President Wes Cooley from the lightweight racers, logratitude for hls efforts to all sizes of bikes in competition and to his overall work for the betterment 01 motorcycling. Wes also received a special award from his fellow workers 10 the ACA, topped off with a standing ovation from all in attendance. The evening was concluded with an excellent film on the 1968 12 hr. endurance race. The only black mark during the eve n i n g was when the waitress brought me a margarita with no salt on the rim and cubed instead 01 crushed ice. By Clara Gutierrez Dave Aldana receives his award.

SACRAMENTO, Cal. - Hollywood shlnt man Charles Burt was Injured as be made a jump over eight cars. His jumping was an added attractioo for the Autorama. Surt is the only man ever to make a jump for dare-devil Evel Kaievel. Evel couldn't do it himself due to surgery on his leg last week in Sacramento. Evel bad been doing wheelies, taped to his motorcycle. for his part in the performance. Due to the wet asphalt Evel didn't perform on Sunday. Burt overshot his jump, landing on a rubber mat that buckled UP under his motorcycle. This caused him to highstde, the motorcycle landing on top 01 him. The rubber mat was belog used because of rain 10 the Sacramento area. Burt suffered a broken shoulder blade. a broken collar bone, seven broken ribs and two ribs penetrated his lung. He underwent sur g e r y again WednesdlP.Y night, and is 10 satisfactory condition. After Chuck came out of the intensive Care Room. he received phone calls from people. saying they were glad be didn't make it through the jumP. and that he was crazy, and a lot of unkind things. He is scheduled to make another jump in Tucson, Arizona, on February 27th. Burt is from St. Louls, Missouri; and he now lives 10 Hollywood. He is 23 years old. 6 ft. 2 inches tall. weighs 225 pounds. He wears black leathers with gold stars, and a Bell Star nelmet. His favorite candy bar. a little girl told me. is Butterfinger. Government Hot For Bike Safety are realistic requirements which can and should be supported by the motorcyclists 10 this country. We are well aware that the legislatures in some States have been much more restrictive • Whether the restrictive trend continues will depend largely on what motorcycling does for itself. It ls essential that the people who ride motorcycles create constructive partnerships with law makers. police officials. educators. and others who develop legislative or safety programs. Unless motorcycUng organizes itself to speak authoritatively and realistically about its problems. and unless it ls willing and able to propose acceptable solutions to these problems, then motorcyclists will cootinue to be faced with a variety 01 State and local regulations which may not accurately reflect the needs for safety. Part 01 the NHSB's responsibWtylsto provide the states with part 01 the!1nancia1 SllPPOrt for implementing their comprehensive highway safety prO(rallls. This year 63.8 miWoo dollars is available on a matching basis formnla to Remarks Ie' Lewis S. Buchanan, Acting Chief. Motor<;ycle 5afef.y Division, NaUoDal nighw~ 5afef.y Bureau. to the BMW Dealer's Meeting, Washington, D.C. February 5, 1969. Many people feel that motorcycles have been singled out for unusual safety emphasis. This ls not true. The Federal requirements for motorcycle safety are but ooe part 01 a broad nationwide motor vehicle safety program which will el\P8lld at all levels 01 governement during the coming years. More than 55,000 traffic deaths and more than 3 million traffic injuries each year are more than Congress. State legislatures and the U.S. public ls willing to pay for use 01 our highways. All l;ypes 01 motor vehicle safety programs will receive moreemphas1s. With specific reference to motorcycles. I beUeve that within the next few years we will see every State adopt specjal tests aDd Ucenses for motorcycle operatioo, mandatory helmet use. safety inspec tion t1 motorcycles and speclaI motorcycle driver training programs. 1believe these ..... _ -_. .-- .-- -.._- =<:,.- _.. -"". .- - -- ,-- =C)lI_C_ -- ... - ...- --- --...... -- --.. -- -- • .. - .- - =- . -- • _..... - .... - .... ..... .... _. _.e- -_ ... -- ..-- -- _.-- - - .... ..... .... _.

The response in terms 01 State and local governments applying these matching funds to implement motorcycle safety activities has not been encouraging Up to this polot. To date fewer than a dozen projects relating to motorcycle safety have been funded. Therefore, funds that would substant1a1ly benefit motorcycl1ng are being spent on other safety projects. These funds provide an excellent 0Pportunity for the people involved in motorcycling to demonstrate that motorcycUng can be made safer througb education and training. They provide a means for motorcycling organizations at the city, State and national level to cootribute to improving safety. But. it ls qp to you and the motorcycle groqps in your State to start the ball rol11ng. As Willi other Federal-ald programs. there are specific procedures to follDw in IW111Dc for matching funds. An inquiry to your Governor's office or me will give you name 01 the State official'who is responsible for coord1nat1ng your state's blebway safety program and who will ctve you details on the operation 01 the grant program • Later this month the National Education Associatioo with the support aDd cooperatioo 01 the.
