Mayes and
"the Professor' ~
win the
MINT400
One of the first students at Husqvarna's new International Training Center was 19 year old Mitch Mayes and
he proved himself a very adept pup il. Team ing with the
Coach, Rolf Tibblin , they rode to take a big 1st Place in the 6th
Annual Del Webb Desert Rallye (formerly the Mint 400). They completed
the physically demanding course in an amazing 8 hrs., 9 min. and .03 sec.,
and were 12 minutes ahead of the second place finishers when they took the
checkered flag . The Mint has been a race of endurance for both men and
machinery since its found ing in 1968, and Husqvarna has proven the capability
of its mach inery in winning the race four times-the lastlhree consecutively.
In establishing the Husqvarna International Tra ining Center, Coach Tibblin
plans to develop riders of equal qua lity and stamina. With Mitch it looks l ike
.
he's on the right track.
So on with the cap and gown (helmet and leathers). It's Graduation Day!
We can hardly wait to watch Mr. Mayes and his Husky when they do their post
graduate work. (His graduate work began the following weekend when we won
the Little Bear G.P. at Riverside over 600 entrants.)
