Yeah smed, it might be Clarrie and I thought maybe Wallan after I had posted the answer.
Do you know if it was 74 or 75? I can dig up the program.

Regards Stan.

jim colligan i believe passed on a few years a go. got on the piss with him big time whilst doing the swan series(road racing)as a passenger on A TRANZAC TZ750 ROAD RACE OUTFIT 87 i think had a video shop in ballarat?

[number8]

It looks to be about 1974-75 and the gear that the passenger is wearing is just what Jim used to wear,and I dont remember Steve having another passenger in that period,maybe wrong

Q2 - Corrado Maddi, Cagiva? Don't know the story of why he was second - not enough points to be first

[090]

Wardy won in '85.
Would it have been Bailey?

I got some. What brand was the only non jap bike to win an ama supercross title and when?
Also who upset McGraths winning streak of championships between his first one and his last one. First one being '93 and last being '00.
Which brand of bike has won the most championships?

[Evil Rudy]

Hey Brad, you're wrong. Who finished second?

It was Broc Glover. Why did he finish second - because Jeff Ward wasn't penalised for riding backwards on the track at one round and the AMA killed off an appeal by Yamaha – even though they DQ’d Magoo Chandler for the same thing the year before.

He ended up loosing by 2 points. If rules were rules he is my defacto champ. Interestingly if he had won the title would he have been considered a GOAT as he would have had 7 championships.

Corrado Madi broke his leg in the final round in a collision during timed practice. Amazing picture of him on a stretcher in MXA.

He rode a Cagiva.

Extra Credit to know who he collided with.

[smed]

Jammin Jimmy Ellis u.s. sx champ 1975 on can-am,Fro Emig u.s.sx champ 1997 Kawasaki,Honda would have won the most sx champs i would think.

I'm a bit with Rudy, like me he's from NSW (Overlooking his NY heritage) where motocross sidecars have never really been a part of the sport. To us mx sidcars are as familiar as motoball or whatever it is those weirdos do with ferrets.
 Having said that, I like 'em (sidecars, not ferrets).
