20
Years Ag
SEPTEMBER 22, 1999
Kevin Windham had the cover to himself 20 years ago for taking the
overall win at the 250cc U.S. Grand Prix at Budds Creek. Windham
came into the race fired up after Stefan Everts made some derogatory
comments about American MX riders a few days before the race.
Windham responded on the track… Carl Fogarty won the World
Superbike round at Hockenheim… Joe Kopp earned his first career
750cc Grand National win at the Dallas Mile… We tested Shane Watts'
1999 KTM 125 E/XC.

Farleigh Castle in 1969. Banks
won the moto in front of the
home crowd but Team Belgium
took the overall win. (Below)
In 1989, Honda designed
this ad for its 1990 line of CR
motocrossers.
