Famous Ties...

"The last race of 1973 [Huntington Beach MC] was the first race AC and myself tied.   It was a win for both AC and myself.   In the 1974 B to V, the points for first were given to AC, but the race was recorded as a win for both of us.   San Gabriel at first said they would not let us leave it a tie, so I said AC could have it, because he was going for #1 that year, and was racing motocross.   But after several days of people getting on my case for what we did, I asked AC to call the club ref, and tell them it was a tie...period.   He agreed and there you have it..."
