LOOKING BACK
Forty years ago, we asked the question: Are You Really A Racer? Our
questionnaire inside answered the question... Yamaha-mounted Rex
Staten won the sixth annual Four-Stroke MX Nationals at Carlsbad...
Terry Cunningham was the overall winner at the Tulsa Enduro Riders
AMA National Enduro in Mounds, Oklahoma... Shawn Moran won the
Ascot Long Track Speedway Championship.

We went with a little humor on the cover of Cycle News 50 years ago...
We finished up our interview with motocrosser Rich Thordwaldson...
Ake Jonsson and Bengt Aberg continued their rivalry in the Inter-Am
Motocross Series in Oregon. Racers had to deal with wet weather and
freezing temperatures. Jonsson took the win over Aberg and Willie
Bauer... The Trans-AMA MX Series visited Carlsbad Raceway where
Joel Robert won again.
