Motocross Legend was Entertaining Both on and Off the Track. In this week’s Throwback we dial back the clock to November of 1978 and the AMA Awards Banquet held at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. Motocross racer Bob Hennah and Yamaha mechanic Keith McCarty (In top hats) invited nearly everyone in the room (their sponsors) to join them on stage where they presented each other with their own No. 1 plates. Hannah must have said or done something funny since nearly the whole delegation looks to be having a laugh. Emcee Larry Huffman stands alongside Hannah with his hand on Hannah’s arm. It was a very good year for Hannah. At the banquet he collected awards for being AMA 250 Motocross National Champ, AMA Supercross Champ, Trans-AMA Champ and AMA Professional Athlete of the Year. McCarty also received the MX Tuner of the Year Award.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
