Pine 'Iop race track in Escoheag, Rhode
Island had never hosted an AMA National
. motocross before. So 'Ieam Honda riders Warren
Reid and Steve Wise gave this newcourse a
thorough initiation'by sweeping first and second
in its premiere 125 cc National.
Tlie Pine 'Iop track, located in a winter ski
resort, consisted of mostly sand with a good
number.of devilishly sharp rocks and some tall,
power-sapping uphills. But the terrain was no
match for the stylish Hondaline-equipped duo
and their RC-125 fact ory Elsinores' "
Warren Reid predicted the outcome with a
first-moto uphill holeshot and pulled out to a
commanding lead, which he held all the way
through to the end. Thammate Steve Wise
slightly mistimed the start, but put on a brilliant
ride to weave his way up to fourth as the
checkered flag fell. The rocky Pine 'Ibp course
claimed a number of flat tire victims. 'Ieam
Honda riders found their E lsinores' maneuverability ideal for snaking through the sharp
obstacles and still maintaining a hot line.
The anticipation of 19-year-old Warren Reid
winning his first-ever National had many of
the 7,OQO enthusiastic spectators buzzing before
the start of the second moto. And Warren Reid
did not disappoint them. Neither did Steve Wise.
When the starting gate fell, there they were ,
right with the leading pack, putting distance between themselves and the rest of the field.
They dodged and danced over the terrain,
blasting up hills and diving into corners. Their
potent red racers carried Reid and Wise to ,
fourth and third respectively, securing first .and ,
second overall for the day; "
