Our cover story 50 years ago was the Ascot TT, where Terry Dorsch
took the win over Gene Romero and Eddie Mulder... We had
motocross coverage from Hialeah, Florida, where Pierre Karsmakers
came away with the overall victory ahead of Marty Tripes and Bob
Grossi... We also had coverage of the SCTA observed trials event
in Reche Canyon in Riverside, California. Marland Whaley was the
overall winner, while Bernie Schreiber was victorious in his class.
There was talk about moving him up to the Masters class... We tested
the Yamaha DT3 MX motocrosser.
