competitions have been held in one
form or another since 1967. During
july, 1985, the World Police and Fire
~ames were held in San jose, draw109 over 4000 athletes, making that
event second in panicipant numbers
to the 1984 Olympic Games in Los
Angeles.
Motorcycle roadracing has never
before been a Police Olympic event.
In May, 1985, I made a proposal to
the.C.P.A_F.to make motorcycle TC1'ldraang a speCIal event for 1986 using
motorcycles supplied by the California Superbike School. The proposal
was accepted.
The world championships will be
held at Willow Springs, july 3-6
1986. Police riders from several coun:
tries will participate. (The USSR is
considering sending a team.)
On February 21, 1986, officers-onty
Superbike School will be held at Wil~
low Springs. The five fastest qualifiers plus two alternates will comprise
the Untted States Team which will
then compete in July. "'"
