YAMAHA'S W
,INNING COMBINATION
THE ITI AND D
.TIC SWEEP MINT
MIKE PATRICK AND PHIL BOWERS ONCE AGAIN WON
. THE MINT 400...0NE OF THE TOUGHEST RACES ON
THE LONG-DISTANCE OFF-ROAD CALENDAR. THIS
WAS THE SECOND YEAR IN SUCCESSION THAT THE
PAIR OUTSPED AND OUTLASTED THE OPPOSITION
OVER 400 MILES IN THE ROUGH, GRUELLING
NEVADA DESERT. FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN
SUCCESSION THEY CHOSE YAMAHA TO TAKE THEM
TO THE WIN....THE BIKE THEY KNEW COULD DO IT.
MIKE AND PHIL WERE RIDING THE VERY LATEST
ADDITION TO THE YAMAHA ENDURO RANGE...THE
360cc RTI.
IN THE 250cc CLASS IT WAS YAMAHA AGAIN. AL
BAKER AND LARS LARSSON USED A STOCK DTl C
250cc ENDURO TO SWEEP THE 250cc CLASS AND
TAKE A PHENOMENAL FIFTH OVERALL AGAINST
ALL SIZESOF COMPETING MACHINERY.
BOTH PAIRS OF RIDERS
ESTABLISHED
CLEAR-CUT NEW RECORDS FOR BOTH THEIR CLASS
AND THE OVERALL RACE. JUST SOME MORE PROOF
THAT YAMAHA IS A BETTER MACHINE.
