Our coverage of the Blackwater 100 was our feature story 30 years
ago, and winner Tim Coombs was pictured on the cover… We also
had coverage of the 500cc U.S. GP at Hollister Hills. Eric Geboers
was the winner… Steve Morehead took the win at the Lima Half
Mile… Doug Polen continued his winning ways, his latest coming
at Road America… We interviewed motocrosser Broc Glover…
Dave Schultz beat Steve Miles in the final at the NHRA Drag Race
in Ohio.
Our World Superbike Preview was featured 20 years ago. We
asked the question: could the AMA Superbike regulars hold their
own against the world's best at Laguna Seca?... Mick Doohan
won again at the Dutch Grand Prix; at 15 years of age, Marco
Melandri became the youngest-ever GP winner after topping the
125cc class… Rodney Smith won the ISDE Qualifier at Loretta
Lynn's Ranch… CN Associate Editor Scott Rousseau attended
and wrote about his experiences at the Harley-Davidson 95th
Anniversary Reunion ride and celebration.
