Take 1st, 2nd in 2 5 0 cc - lst in Open class.
The May 6 -7 weekend at Snake River Canyon,
Idaho, turned out to be one of the largest Motocross events in history.
Over 700 riders entered. Fifty separate moto
heats were run. For a record purse of $25,000!
When the finals were over,it was a sweep of the
top two classes for Goodyear's new
Eagle MX tire.
Jim Weinert and Gary Jones riding on Yahamas took 1st and 2nd ·
in the 250cc class. Jones took 1st
in the Open.
Goodyear's Eagle MX tire has
scored some mighty impressive
wins in its first season of racing. The
double at Snake River is the latest.
We build this tire to win. With 4
plies of nylon cord in the specially designed body.
Cord toughened by Goodyear's uniqueTripleTempering process.
We use a super-tough rubber compound that
has exceptional tear resistance - to keep a biting
edge on the lugs. And we wrap those deep, rugged "Moto-Grip" lugs well around the tire's shoulder so it holds on the tightest turns.
... .
The lugs clean out fast because of
. their special contours and spacing.
