“PRO-BABLY” is preserved
The quiz prints PRO-BABLY; the supporting article prints probably.
“Avalance” is a published quiz error
The quiz prints The Avalance; the article caption prints The Avalanche.
The Bobby Encinas statement is false
The supplied retrospective identifies Stu Thomsen as winning his first NORA Cup during 1980. A published BMX Action historical listing also records Stu Thomsen for 1980.
Mongoose required supplemental verification
The supplied retrospective does not identify the NORA Cup No. 1 Team. A published BMX Action historical listing records Mongoose as the 1980 team. The source URL is preserved in the answer key, ledger, and source index.
All answers are documented
Seven answers are supported directly or contextually by the supplied retrospective. One answer is supported by a separately identified published BMX Action source. No answer was invented.
