30
Years Ago
SEPTEMBER 27, 1989
We pictured the winning team from the Motocross des Nations in Gaildorf,
Germany, on the cover 30 years ago. That winning team was from America
and made up of Jeff Stanton, Mike Kiedrowski and Jeff Ward. It was
Team USA's ninth-consecutive victory in the MXdN. They were so good
that they clinched the win after just the second of three motos… Ed Lojak
won the Beaver Valley GNCC in
Hookstown, Pennsylvania… Dan
Smith edged out Fritz Kadlec for
the win at the Colorado National
Hare & Hound.
