gO-degree temperatures. Choking red
Georgia dust. Bone-jarring jumps and hairraising corners. Sixty minutes of fierce competition by a packed field of the finest riders in
the East.
When the dust settled, Sonny DeFeo of
Port Washington, New York had the best point
total for the three heats-two of them run on
Goodyear's new Eagle MX.
After all, a competition tire is
supposed to win. So we build the
Eagle MX with a super-tough
rubber compound that has exceptional tear resistance-to keep a
biting edge on the lugs.
' W e make the speciallydesigned body with 4 plies of
nylon cord -cord we toughen by
Goodyear's unique Triple-Tem-
pering process. For the strength to take the
hardest jumps.
.
And we wrap those deep, sturdy "MotoGrip" lugs right around the tire's shoulder, so
they'll hold tight on turns, and dig you out fast.
Their special contours and spacing give excellent clean-out when the course is muddy.
Beside DeFeo's win, other riders mounted
on the Eagle MX ran 4th, ' 5th,
6th and 7th in the 250cc class,
and 2nd and 4th in the Open
class. Not bad for a brand"new tire.
The Eagle MX is available in
both 400-18 and 450-18 sizes. See
it soon at any Goodyear Motorcycle Tire Dealer and start riding a
winner. Goodyear Cycle Tire Department, P. O. Box C-801, New
