Motocross des Nations
I ju t want to take a moment lO
express feelings hopefully felt by
others.
This year the nited tates of
America is holding the 19 7 roundof
the Motocro s des ations, possibly
the most prestigious molO ro s of the
year. I, being one of the vast unknowns that enjoys and supports this
sport, will have a once in a lifetime
chance to see the world's best
compete together.
This event is made even more memorable and special by our riders who
give us 110%. They have placed themselves at the forefront of this international event for the past six year. As
any enthusia t from any winning
nation, they have made me and many
others proud.
However, I am also saddened by
the negative events that ha\le taken
place during this past six years. orne
of those tnat have carried us lO great
heights have fallen and are not able
to provide us the thrills, envy and
pride so enjoyed in the past.
Whatever the reason this mav have
happened, a break in concentr'ation,
track design, whatever, it has happened and I will miss them; I have
not fogotten them.
I personally am dedicating thi
year's event to Donnie Hanson, Danny
"Magoo" Chandler and David Bailey.
They've given us, the fans, I 10% and
still are. I hope there are others that
feel the way I do and hopefully a 1987
win will be a tribute showing everyone's appreciation (or their personal
accomplishments and dedication to
us the fans.
