We were impressed with Dave Pauli's creation and put his custom
Sachs-BMW on the cover of Cycle News 50 years ago... We had coverage
of the Mini-Cycle National Championship motocross from Saddleback
Park. It was the most attended race the track had ever hosted to date
with more than 600 entries... We also had coverage of the 250cc
Swedish MX Grand Prix. Hakan Andersson won both motos and
clinched the World title... Pierre Karsmakers (500cc) and Tim Hart
(250cc) topped the National MX round at Lake Whitney.
