We ran an action photo from the Mt. Baker Two-Day ISDT Qualifier in
Washington on the cover of Cycle News 40 years ago. Frank Stacy was
the overall winner... Randy Goss was the big winner at the GNC Ascot
Half Mile after passing Garth Brow two laps from the end... Suzuki's Mark
Barnett and Kent Howerton captured the 125cc and 250cc AMA National
Motocross wins at Road Atlanta... We took a close-up look at Jimmy
Filice's Virago-based Yamaha 750 V-twin dirt tracker.

Celebrating wins was the cover theme 50 years ago. We showed our
readers winners celebrating with their trophies and trophy girls... Eddie
Mulder and Gary Scott were the stars at Ascot. Scott, a Junior racer at the
time, got to compete with the Experts and guess who won? Yup, Scott...
Tim Hart put a stop to John DeSoto's win streak at Ascot motocross...
Jim Rice topped half-mile racing from San Jose. Rice ran down Cal
Rayborn and Dick Mann before taking the checkered flag out in front.
