"That's the way I like to race," said a very nontired looking Rick Burgett, "with the competition behind me, way behind me. Sure it was
hot, but I'm in shape and I'm going to stay in
shape _ .in winning shape."
Yamaha's Burgett had just
, notched his third straight overall victory and launched himself
into the 500cc lead over Honda's
14
Tommy Croft, 217 ยท207 , with a pair of
moto wins that saw him quickly grab
the front spot and lead every lap. Such
was thehold that Burgett had on the
field that each of his finishes in the
inaugural AMA Mr . PiBB National
MX at Atlanta International Raceway
were nearly 25 seconds ahead of the
second place rider.
Dominance was the byword for
Team Yamaha's Broc Glover as he
dusted off the 125cc National class
with precise fashion, winning each
moto with a good 20 seconds on the
field. "This place is really hot, " said
Glover in his winner's circle
