The International co-operation we strived for has finally become a reality. Our new approach is to help the budding stars of tomorrow - the underappreciated U.S. talent. Therefore, this year we will present American motorcyclists only and as a further incentive - $2500 to spur them on - may others follow suit. When all the dust and boisterous claims are stilled, we are confident our race will still be the largest and most professionally handled from both rider and spectator participation. See Ya.
