Michigan Ontario Trials Association

Paul Volkman won the vote for M.O.T.A. Chairman at the January 9 meeting. The same night it was announced that the Trial Blazers of Mt. Clemens had changed their name to the East Side Competition Riders. At the April 17 meeting, the North American Trials Organization (NATO), Metro Trials Club, and Suburban Slow-Spokes were admitted into M.O.T.A. These together with Detroit M/C, East Side Competition Riders, Great Lakes, Red Wings, and Windsor comprised M.O.T.A. at the start of the 1970 trials season.

The wives, daughters, and girlfriends formed a Powder Puff class which was the start of a lot of discussion as to what to do regarding promotions and so forth. The trials went well and the year-end banquet at the Flamingo Hall was a big success.
