There’s a new DVD out, “Bob Hurricane Hannah’s 1981 Massacre at Saddleback” that shows, explains, and critiques one of motocross’ great battles, the two-moto throwdown between Bob Hannah and Kent Howerton. Suzuki’s Howerton was the defending champion in this AMA Outdoor Series round two clash, Yamaha’s Hannah was the former champ who had been off for a year with a horribly broken leg from a water ski accident. With Howerton’s title won in Bob’s absence, he had a point to prove that he deserved the number one plate. And Bob, well, he was Bob Hannah, and that dude did not like to lose.
