Americans scored some major highlights that weekend and this photo illustrates that perfectly. This is the start of the second moto and that’s American Rick Ryan nailing the holeshot and doing a wheelie on his Suzuki. Also in the image are Ryan’s fellow Americans Trampas Parker (58) and Mike Healey (5). Healey came through to score the moto win, Fellow KTM rider Parker went 1-2 to earn the overall victory that day. Parker went on to win the 125 Motocross World Championship that season.
