Grossi Wails
LIVERMORE, CAL., May 2,1971
- This state's best motocrossers
faced off for the second week in a
row during a benefit for the
AMXT and this time John DeSoto
and Bob- Grossi wowed the crowd
on hand to witness the "muddy
motos" at Carnegie Cycle Park.
The rain made the course almost
unrideable for the inexperienced
riders. The 'Experts, however, had
a lot of fun maneuvering their way
around during a light to moderate
drizzle through most of the day,

The whoop-de-doo type hill which comprised a portion of the AMXT
Benefit Motocross at Carnegie Cycle Park in Livermore, Calif., turned into a
giant "slip 'n' slide" Sunday as rain soaked the area. Above, just a small
group of the riders that challenged the hill but didn't succeed without trying
several times.
