IRVINE, CAL., Nov. 19, 1972
Tommy Croft was denied victory after
ODe of his finest perfonnances to date in
the 250 Expert class of CMC Motocross
at Saddleback. The reason: mechanical
problems, what else?
Morris Malone, a name we haven 't
seen too much in the winner's circle in
recent months, took over the charge and
bested the huge, 24·man deep class with
a win in the first race and consisten t

Bower hard in the first round, took
third.

least here in CMC ranks. Richard
Kaeding (Mai) has had his name appear
more than just a few times in the results
column under the heading 250
Intermediate. Today, it appears there

again. But, but! In the 250Jrs., Div.lI,
not the winner. Robert Kaeding.. Both
ride them Maicos and both do quite a
bit of hauling.
Certainly not a couple of Brelsfords,
Grossis or Palmgreens, but who knows?

A wide angle lens will shorten your wheelbase.
It"s easier to steer if your front wheelis on the ground. Tommy Croft demonstrates.
