  • The List: 1984 Win Ads

No garage is complete without a full complement of Maxima aerosol products, each of which has been thoughtfully designed with a very specific purpose. Knocking out corrosion? Grab a can of our Multi-Purpose Penetrant Lube. Guarding your engine against dirt? Go to town with our Fab-1 Spray-On Air Filter Oil. Need to restore and protect your plastics? Reach for Maxima’s famous SC1 high-gloss coating, which has been appropriately referred to as “New Bike in a Can™” due to its almost-magical ability to recondition your machine. Across the board, Maxima is proud to offer the top aerosol products in every category—and trust us, your bike will thank you.

If you’re smart enough to subscribe to Racer X Illustrated, you certainly can appreciate the power of the written word, in print, and the wit and wisdom of a properly turned phrase (not sure if this sentence is a good example of that. Hmm).

The latest issue features a cool retrospective piece by Eric Johnson chronicling the battle for the 1984 AMA Supercross Championship. EJ dialed up the main players—Johnny O’Mara, Jeff Ward, Bob Hannah, Rick Johnson, Ron Lechien, and David Bailey to get a round-by-round account of the season, which took place smack dab in the middle of one of the most competitive eras in supercross history.

From works bikes, to legendary riders, and even retro touches like wild sponsor names for each obstacle, the 1984 story signals a time gone by. Furthering that point are the win ads each brand purchased during the season. Properly-turned phrases? Wit and wisdom in print? Yeah, it’s here in spades, as well as some great ad copy. Like the bikes or the tracks, they don’t build ads like they used to.

Check out our latest magazine for the story, but check out The List this week to see all of the 1984 supercross win ads.
