Jim Pomeroy 1973 Spanish 250 Motocross GP trophy presentation

We all know Jim Pomeroy on his Bultaco won 1st overall at the 1973 Spanish 250cc Moto-cross GP and became the “First American” to win a World Championship Moto-cross GP. But at that 1973 Spanish 250 Moto-cross GP race officials first incorrectly scored Maico’s Hans Maisch as the overall winner. By the time race officials realized their mistake the podium presentation was over and Hans Maisch was long gone with the 1st place trophy, (which he never gave back). Jim Pomeroy, the “First American” to win a World Championship Moto-cross GP, never got his 1st place trophy that day.
28 years later a wrong was turned right by Jim's family, friends and fans. Donations were collected and another Spanish 250 GP Trophy was obtained from the original foundry in Barcelona. The foundry still had the main component, an original trophy figure left over from 1973. From that another Spanish 250 MX GP trophy was assembled. Then 30+ years later at the 2003 Chehalis Classic AHRMA National Jim Pomeroy was presented his 1973 Spanish GP 1st place trophy in a surprise ceremony held just before Sunday’s motocross riders meeting.
