MAICOS at 1977 Grand National: Almost a clean sweep ...

[Doggy Digger]

Here's an alternate set of results, if dual freight trains Anton and Ron hadn't clipped.

(I like statistics!  And - no - I didn't prefer or ride Maicos in the day.)

So Maico really was the bike to have in '77.. they were not such a force in Qld.
Is that Chris Wright 6th?

JohnnyO,
that was Chris Wright.

Doggy Digger,
how come other riders that crashed after Ronnie and Anton came to grief, didn't get their placings reinstated in your hypothetical outcome

Regards Stan.

Careful Stanley .... lest you blow your cover!

Ah, but would the same riders have had different results on another brand?

Probably but would they have been as good??

KTM filled the first 3 spots in the 250 GP's in 77 and were the European privateers choice, the open class Maico were good in 77 as they were in most.

Shit load of C graders in that lot,you would have to have been good to win that class ,Brad Jones former V8 super car driver was also a former MX rider it would appear

That's cool reading through those old programs, i see a few forum members raced that meeting.
Interesting to see Kiwi Peter Ploen won the Grand National way back in '71.. 41 years ago and he's still quick!
