Still, Mr. Hall approached the ABA with a plan to buy the ABA from the new owners Anderson and Vargas. This was quite strange since as mentioned the USBA was in worse shape financially than the ABA. On several occasions Mr. Hall approached Mr. Vargas and Mr. Anderson with buyout proposals. In 1982, the ABA discarded their system because the ABA No. 1 Pro for 1981, had a runaway season and gained the title a full month before the Grand National, rendering the event irrelevant in choosing the No. 1 pro.
A pro-rider boycott was generated as protests continued, led unofficially by Greg Hill, and included notable racers like Stu Thomsen. The basis for the boycott was Hill’s long-standing 1980 complaint over the alleged unfairness of its pro points system, since the 1979 season. The number one pro was selected to go into the ABA’s Grand National in November, with most of the points.
A light, durable aluminum frame makes it easy to navigate through busy streets and country roads. For instance, the eventual amateur No.1 Mike King received a $14,500 Glastron boat and a Honda Reflex motorcycle valued at $1,600 for a total value of $16,100. To reiterate, the top amateur received the boat, not the professional number one. The Pro number one for that year, Charles Townsend, received $1,600 in cash, a GMC Chevy S-10 pick up truck valued at $10,500 and a Honda XR250R Honda motorcycle valued at $3,500. You had the odd situation of the amateur winning prizes of greater value collectively than the professional by a $500 margin.
