20
Years Ago
JULY 5, 2000
Our cover story was our preview of the World Superbike and AMA
Superbike Championship at Laguna Seca... We interviewed Colin
Edwards and Mat Mladin... Alex Barros won the 500cc GP at the
Dutch TT... The rain-delayed Lima Half Mile saw Chris Carr take the
victory 20 years ago... Our 600cc Sportbike Shootout ran its course at
Spring Mountain Speedway in Pahrump, Nevada... Paul Edmondson
won the Brownsville GNCC in Pennsylvania.
Thirty years ago, Suzuki introduced its 1991
RM125 motocrosser. Could this be when the term
"BNG" (bold new graphics) got its start?
(Right) Promoter Edison Dye organized the
"European Invasion" that played out at Saddleback
Park and White Rock MX 50 years ago.
