Dug this from my archives. Left to right: 'Pistol' Pete Loncarevich, Eddy 'The King' King, Harry 'Lookback' Leary, Aaron Stevens, Doug Davis and Mike Horton
I'm guessing this is around '79/80 season
Enjoy!

Sorry bud but you're wrong & 2 years out on the date .

This ad is from 81'.For starters Eddy King hadn't joined DB until Sept 1980 when he left Torker & this ad's in the BMXA April 81' issue so there's no way it could be 79'.
