Ron Gant (61) and Art Bauman (30) were pictured on the cover of Cycle
News 50 years ago. The two were competing at the AMA Road Race
National in Kent, Washington. Gant went on to win the race on his 500cc
twin-cylinder Suzuki just ahead of Yvon Duhamel and Gary Nixon... It was
a who's who of MX at Plymouth Raceway (Hangtown), where riders such as
Dick Mann, John DeSoto, Lars Larsen, Brad Lackey and Bob Grossi
came out to play. Grossi was the man of the day by winning the 500cc
Open class, winning two of the three motos.
