ABA National #1 PRO Cruiser – Intense/Socko - Danny Caluag (Like I said up top, Danny C. makes ABA history and picks himself up a second Suzuki to boot! Not a bad season for this young gun.)

They took the ABA Factory team title and their team riders walked away with ABA National #1 AM., ABA National #1 Cruiser, ABA National #1 Girl, and ABA National #1 Girl Cruiser titles.
