The Hond a Elsinore'" motocros sers are picking up where
they left off in '73. In the 125
class, specially prepared Hond a
C R-125M two-strokes dominated the Hangtown track .
When the d ust cleared , Honda
ride rs line d up like this:
Marty Smith was the overall
winner; C huc k Bower, 112;
Mickey Boone, #4; Bruce
McDoug al, 117. Not a bad way
to start the d ay and the AMA
National Motocross seaso n.
1st 250cc.
The good things co ntinued to
happen in the 250 class . Last
year 's II I bike, the Elsinore
CR-250 M, en ded up in its
usual position - first overall.
The rider, however, was a
newcomer to the Honda
Team - Bill Grossi. Rich
Eierstedt, last year 's Trans
AMA 250 winner, took the 114
spot. And Gaylon Mosier, .
•ano ther new Honda Team
member, ca me in fifth.
So close 500cc.
With the results of the first
500 Mote , it looked like Honda
was headed for a clea n sweep :
"Rocket" Rex Staten led from
start to finish aboard the only
Elsinore in the race -a factory'
RC-400 . Early in the second
Moto, Staten running fifth ran
into a three-bi ke pile-up, yet
still manag ed to finish thirteent h.
All in all, it wasn't a bad
beginning to the National AMA
for the Hond a Team-two wins
and a promise of be tter things
to come.
