March I, 19'70 By Dick Wrtght WhItey Martino J.N. Roberts 13ruce Dunford 500 Ex 500 Ex 500 Ex Ten abreast, group after group, they came off the line and jockeyed for positio n down the highway and onto the dirt. Most of the spectators opted for a vantage point on the city's streets. And after the last gr oup had bee n give n the flag, necks craned, trying to ca tch a glimpse of the fir s t r ider to make It through the rough stuff and back into town.
