LOOKING BACK
Danny "Magoo" Chandler was pictured on the cover of Cycle News
40 years ago. We interviewed the popular motocrosser from Northern
California... Husqvarna-mounted Scot Harden and Brent Wallingsford
teamed up and won the Baja 1000... The 11th round of the AMA National
Championship Enduro Series was held in Red Mountain, California,
where eastern woods specialist Terry Cunningham emerged as the
overall winner in the desert... We showed our readers some of the latest
street-bike models from BMW.
A photo of Bengt Aberg about to eat dirt at the St. Peters Trans-AMA was
pictured on the cover 50 years ago. Aberg walked away but was nursing a
broken collarbone... We also had coverage of the Trans-AMA round from
Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Roger DeCoster ran away from the pack, which
included Joel Robert, Sylvain Geboers, and Adolf Weil... The Honda
Hawk streamliner was again thwarted in its attempt to surpass the 300-
mph barrier at Bonneville... Bob Grossi, Jim Wilson and Preston Petty
were some of the stars at the Hopetown Grand Prix.
