BUCHANAN, MI. OCT. 19-20
Jeff Stanton beat up on 44 other riders
mounted on heaVily modified XR75cc and
80cc Hondas on Red Bud's Auto Track. Stan·
ton rode flawlessly in his qualifier but had to
recover in the 12-lap final race to overtake Hi

with off-cambers. ruts and tree roots, and it
starts out on grass.
