I'm working with the Rhode Island Trials Club to put on a vintage trial in Exeter, RI on September 16. The club has run several Nationals and World Rounds at this facility. We are trying to promote the vintage event by playing up the link with the 1975 World Round that was held at this site. Prior to 1975 it was called the European Championship. Then they added a round in Canada and the US and started calling it the World Championship.
Here are the results:
World Round July 20, 1975
Stepping Stone Ranch, Escoheag, R.I.
1. Malcolm Rathmell (Montesa) 54
2. Yrjo Vesterinen (Bultaco) 58
3. Manuel Soler (Bultaco) 64
4. Ulf Karlsson (Montesa) 64
5. Charles Coutard (Bultaco) 66
6. Martin Lampkin (Bultaco) 66
7. Benny Sellman (Montesa) 68
8. David Thorpe (Bultaco) 68
9. Lane Leavitt (Bultaco) 70
10. Mick Andrews (Yamaha) 72
The loop was 22 miles.
I haven't been able to find any information or photos from the event. Does anybody out there have anything tucked away in the garage, or does anybody have suggestions of other places to try? I'd like to make some displays for the event. It's a long shot, I know.
Thanks
