TEN YEARS b· - AGO ~\ . ~~MICHEUM Chuck Joyner took his Triumph to victory in the Castle Rock National TT, but the runner-up finish of Yamaha's Kenny lloberts moved him further out in the points lead of the AMA Grand National Olampionship. 1laDdy Scott (Tri) finished third, followed by Harley-Davidson-mounted Jim!lice. Congratulations to Randy Mamola, who won the Champion Spark Plug 200 Formula One race on Michelin tires aboard a 500cc Suzuki. The Kansas round of the Inter-AMA Motocross Series went to Yamaha's Pierre Karsmakers, even though the "Flying Dutchman" failed to win either moto. In the first moto Karsmakers had a serious run-in -leading to a fist fight after the races - with CZ teammates Antonin Baborovsky and Jaroslav Falta. Karsmakers finished second to Baborovsky in that moto, and his third place behind Honda's Marty Tripes and Husky's Hrikki Mikkola in the second round proved to be good enough for the win. Baborovsky was second overall and Mikkola took third. In the 500cc Support class, Husky rider Mike Hartwig won all three mOlOS for the overall. Proving again that when you match a good bike, a good rider and a good tire, you've got an unbeatable combination. See the difference Michelin can make on your bike. Ask your dealer about the winning Michelin A48/M48 combination for your needs.
