Our U.S. Grand Prix preview issue hit the stands 30 years ago this
week. We were gearing up for the race to be held at Laguna Seca...
We reported that American Bobby Moore had wrapped up the 125cc
Motocross World Championship. It was the Chesterfield Yamaha
rider's first World title and the first for an American in the class...
Scott Parker won the Goshen Half-Mile in Indiana... Mick Doohan
took his first World title in the Czech Republic... Alain Olivier won
the Nevada Rally ahead of Johnny Campbell and Jimmy Lewis.
AMA Supermoto made front-page news 20 years ago. We ran
photos of Doug Henry and JeŽ Ward, who split wins at the
series opener in Colorado... Johnny Murphree came out on
top of a six-way battle for the win at the Sedalia Half-Mile...
We tested the 2005 Kawasaki KX250F... We interviewed flat
tracker Jared Mees, who was in the running for AMA Flat Track
Rookie of the Year... We covered the Legends of Motocross
Race in Namur, Belgium, where GP stars of the past reunited,
including Roger DeCoster, Graham Noyce and Brad Lackey.
