HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1978-08-09, Page 9Four years ago the word "Motocross" meant little or nothing to most people in the brussels area. Today just mention it and action, mud, motorcycles and the Mait- land Dirt Riders of Walton, come to mind. Yes, the annual two day motorcycle race at Walton is on August 19 and 20 and the Maitland Dirt Riders are now preparing the track for an even greater show than last year. The 1977 race had more riders and spectators than any other race in Ontario. Organizers hope to up Bold this reputation by having an even bigger and better race in 1978 - hopefully 500 riders and the best track they will ever race. Saturday, August 19, the „juniors supply lots of thrills and spills as these un- experienced riders attempt to race down the breath- taking straightaways, over the never ending jumps and through the bottomless pit (in which the club has reported to still be pulling bikes out from last year's race). Two of the Maintland Dirt Riders who have conquered the track are Kelvin James and Rob Macintosh. Racing gets underway at 11:00 a.m. The Family of Keith & Kay Hesselwood wish to invite their family, friends and neighbours to celebrate their 30th Wedding Anniversary on Sat.
