DiStefano and Marty Smith were the big

in Delta, Oregon... Cycle News tested the Husqvarna 360 CR GP
while comparing it to Heikki Mikkola's actual GP race bike. We said

title at Broome-Tioga in New York, winning both motos to
earn his sixth career MX championship. Johnny O'Mara won
the 250cc class, and Ron Lechien took the 125cc class...
Scott Head triumphed in the 16th El Trial De Espana held
in Big Bear, California... Bader Manneh claimed the CMC
Western States MX Championship at the Fly-N LD Ranch
in Carmel Junction, Utah.
