1979 was my first full year of racing so everything was all pretty new still.
I have the final points from an old NJ BMX Association Newsletter. Some years later I added notes of who they rode for so it may be inaccurate.
Example I had Rich riding for Langleys in 79. (I Joined Langleys in 80).
Rich did you ride for Langleys in 79???

In 1978 the NBL had no seperate pro class, so all the Pros raced 16X.
That would change in 1979.
