Don Emde - Mythical 1970 AMA 250cc Road Race National Champ
I’m missing some race data in the late 1960s, so I skipped ahead on Project 250 and entered the 1970 season. There were four different winners in the four rounds of the 1970 AMA 250cc Road Race season. Kel Carruthers, Cal Rayborn, Don Emde and Yvon Duhamel were the winners of that year’s races. Emde came out on top in the mythical championship standings over Duhamel and Rayborn.
Here’s the link to the 1970 season.
Larry……what point system are you using?

I’m using the last AMA road race points system used in the 250 class when it was discontinued.
It gives the following:
1st – 36 pts
2nd – 32
3rd – 29
4th – 27
5th – 26
and so on down to one point for 30th place. I know it wasn’t the points system of the time, but the system changed several times during the 40-year span of the series and for my purposes I wanted to give points to as many riders as possible.
