Four different photos from the Mexican
1000 in Baja were
placed on the cover of
Issue #44. One of the
four looked a bit out of
place, because it was a
buggy, but that buggy
contained none other
than Malcolm Smith,
who wanted to race but
couldn't ride because
of a broken leg... At the
U.S. Grand Prix of Motocross in Carlsbad,
California, Heikki Mikkola said he could
beat Ake Jonsson, the star of the TransAMA series that year, at the track. Mikkola
did win the first moto, ahead of Jonsson
and Roger DeCoster, but moto two was all
Jonsson, which gave him the overall win.
Bob Grossi weln the 256cc Support race...
John Fischer (Hus) won the Lonesome
Pine Enduro in Abingdon, Virginia, with a
score of 971. Ray Kussmaul rode a 125cc
Penton to second overall with a score of
965.
