We covered the Greenhorn Enduro 50 years ago, which was staged
in the John Muir High School parking lot in Pasadena, California,
before riders headed into the nearby hills. Results at that time took
weeks to tally. We guessed that Dave Ekins' team won... We also
covered the Denver National Half-Mile, where Mert Lawwill took the
win ahead of Gary Scott and Mike Kidd... Roger DeCoster won the
500cc MX Grand Prix in Belgium ahead of Willy Bauer. Carl Cranke
won the Virginia City Grand Prix... We tested the Harley-Davidson
SX175 dual purpose motorcycle.
