Rider reaction to the
Continental Motocross Association's
new track ranged from enthusiastic to
ecstatic. CMC combined their four yea rs
of motocross experience with .a lo t of
hard work and a little luck to produce
the new co urse. Utah motocross co urses
have tended to be short, ti gh t, and
narrow. T h e only co m p laint riders h ad
abou t the new CMC track was th at
maybe the straight was a little too lo ng .
The racing . was as fantastic as th e
track. The scene was set when not
enough 200 Expert class riders sh owed
up , and the class was combined with the
250 Experts. Now y ou can 't give awa y
50 to 75 cc on a fast, wide track, right?
Wrong!
Bob Brown led the class first moto,
b ut n o one was watching him because of
th e b attle fo r second. Steve Burgess on a
1 75 was having it o ut with Woody
Lawhon and Jon Henry, both o n 25 0 's.
Steve wo uld lose a pl ace o ne lap and get
it back th e next. The last lap Steve was
behind. At the end of the straight, in
the last corner of the m o to , h e m ade h is
move . He b raked lat er, slammed into
th e corner five m p h faster than anyone
else all day, and mad e it, b eat ing Woody
across the finish line b y inch es.

cable stuck, and he went down with his
arm caught between the fender and the
spinning wheel. That was quite an ouch.
(It definitely wasn 't Brown's day - on
the way to the hospital to get his arm
checked,
the
ambulance
was
rear-ended.] Meanwhile Jon Henry
really got it on, and aft er much dicing
back and forth it was Jon first , Steve
second, and Wood third.
It was still anyone's race, but Steve
outdid himself third moto, winning the
moto and the 250 Expert class on his
175 . Jon Henry had t o settle for seco nd
and Woody Lawhon fo r third.
.
With that type of drama it would
seem that the other races would be
Ent husiasm ru ns rampant amongst"7he younger ones .

anti-climactic, but it wasn 't so. Charlie
Reid, making his first Expert start,
looked like a Novice the first' couple of
laps and then settled down to win the
100-125 Expert clas s. Dennis . Packard
switched brands with no trouble and
claimed the Open Expert class.
Over
200
Novices,
Amateurs,
Experts ,
Powd er-Puff ers,
and
Mini-Bikers put on a good two-day
show. There may well be more next
time when word gets around. CMC is
promising less dust and an eve n better
track for their April 22 -23 Motocro ss
and Swap Meet, and it should be a good
one..
