Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Action at Supercross - fast and dangerous. The drivers in buggy racing call their engines hand grenades and the action is explosive. That certainly was the case for driver Blair Bassett of Scarborough as his buggy flips last night at the fourth annual Supercross compeition in Exhibition Stadium. He was vying for the $10,000 purse in the Challenge of Champions category. These single-purpose machines are designed to take a pounding.
