Bill Scott was elected as M.O.T.A. Chairman

Bill Scott was elected as M.O.T.A. Chairman. M.O.T.A. organized the Second North American Trials Championship which was an overwhelming success. The first Championship (Sept. 23-24, 1972) and the second (Sept. 29-30, 1973) were now history. The 1973 Championship had almost double the entry of 1972 with ninety-five (95) riders, plus world championship rider Geoff Chandler from England. Lane Levitt won the trial, for the second consecutive year, beating the Englishman by a narrow margin. Shortly after the 1973 Championship, the North American Trials Council was incorporated (Dec. 7-9, 1973) by Wiltz Wagner in Denver, Colorado. The council opened up formal communication channels between all areas by which future rules changes could be agreed upon, as well as locations and scheduling of forth- coming North American Championship events. M.O.T.A. is extremely proud to have played an instrumental role in trials history by laying the groundwork for the first two North American Championships and proving that the United States was ready for a National Trials Championship program.
