Broc Glover got clocked at Mid-Ohio

Don't you just love the way we did high-tech, smoke and mirrors winner's circle presentations in the early 1980's?

It's a miracle we were allowed to validate this as real; for cryin' out loud where are the Monster girls?

This is how it happened:  We took the top MX superstar who won the event (in this case "Golden Boy" Broc Glover) then looked for a prop to authenticate the shoot.  Best option here was the Mid-Ohio "podium" you see in the back.

Don't know how you feel about all this, but to this day I think it's downright cool.  Broc was the Trans-USA International Champion and he got a clock to hang on his wall as a bonus. I liked the closeness of it all. No orchestrated photo op, just the Cycle News East guy getting a shot for next week's issue.

Pre-Internet era, things like this mattered. I was proud to be a conduit to all things motocross.
