Grand National Championship Series on the front page of our special
issue on dirt track racing... We covered the Dallas Half-Mile that was
won by Steve Morehead... Troy Corser won the AMA Superbike in
New Hampshire... Randy Hawkins got back on track by winning the
Little Raccoon Classic National Enduro in Ohio... Kawasaki-mounted
Stefan Everts swept the MXGP at Lommel; Suzuki's Greg Albertyn
ran out of gas on the last lap of
both motos... Chris Carr won
the 25-lap Peoria TT.
Twenty-four-year-old Ricky Carmichael was pictured on the
cover 20 years ago for reaching 100 AMA National MX victories
at Budds Creek; James Stewart won the 125cc class... Bobby
Bonds captured the overall victory at the WORCS round in
Longview, Washington... Jason Raines reigned at the Patriot
GNCC in Virginia... Suzuki introduced its first 450cc four-stroke
RM-Z motocrosser... We covered the Perry Mountain 24-Hour
Challenge won by the Hattiesburg Cycles/Team A squad of
Landon Carter, Glen Myatt, Stephen Reed, Frank Davis, Taylor
Reynolds and Eric Elam.
