We pictured Parc Ferme and the hundreds of motorcycles that were
about to take a beating in the ISDT in Massachusetts 50 years ago. The
Czechs took the World Trophy win, while the U.S. squad topped the
Silver Vase division with riders Carl Cranke, Dick Burleson, Malcolm
Smith and Ron Bohn... We interviewed 21-year-old rookie Expert
Kenny Robert... The Golden Gate Fields horse-racing facility hosted
its first GNC Mile race, and Jim Rice won... Roger DeCoster won the
Trans-AMA opener in Springville, New York... We tested Yamaha's 1973
YZ250 and MX250 motocrossers.
