• I '-D r--. 0') ~ ~ C\l C\l ~ Z, • May 30, 1976. Don Sanford wins Greenhorn Enduro in California on a Honda MR-25O. This year's National Championship Greenhorn Enduro had a slightly different format, It was spread over two days, Saturday and Sunday, with a portion of the 500-mile course ridden at night. That made a tough race all that tougher, great pit crews and great riding all the more vital. Don Sanford, riding a Honda MR-250, took overall honors with an unheard-of perfect score. And Tom King, riding another MR-250, took first in the amateur class. Neither MR's were super-trick. Only slightly modified. A button-down day for Honda on the hot California desert. • May 31, 1976.
