./ H •• In. . Eight hundred and five miles of dirt, rocks and cactus. The toughest Baja course ever laid out by the organizers. The ultimate test ofman and machine. . . Atest so tough that only 84 ofover 300 vehicles entered even finished. Three ofthose vehicles were Honda ATC®250Rs. The Team Honda machine ridden by Mark Weixeldorfer, Dean Sundahl and Mike Chester hammered its way to first in class in 24 hours, 52 minutes and 22.51 seconds.

They didn't make it to the finish line. Because they didn't even make it to the starting line. FOLLOW THE LEADER • ALWAYS WEAR.A HELMET AND EYE PROTECTIOS. ©1981 American Honda MotorCo.. Inc. • 7
