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.
