"Huh, how, who, why? But jeez Jeff, it's rainin' like a sumbitch!
"So what? A little rain never hurt anyone! Besides, today's race is going to be put on by American Motocross Enterprises with a six-hundred dollar purse for the Pros and fifty percent trophys for the sportsman!
"I don't care if it's a thousand dollars purse today! It's rainin!

Anyway, they came out to race and the stakes were pretty high too. And Pro's out were Jim West, Eddie Cole, Tim Lunde, Billy Payne, Willy Harper, David Taylor, DeWayne Jones and many others. Many many others. In fact, it was one of the best Pro rider turnouts that AME has ever produced!
