Illustrations of Gary Scott, the subject of our interview, was featured
on the cover of Cycle News 50 years ago... We had full race coverage
of the Hook and Ladder Enduro in California City, California. The
Pasadena Fire Department organized the popular enduro... We also
had coverage of the Trans-AMA MX Series from the Orlando Sports
Stadium in Florida. Gerrit Wolsink took the overall win. Marty Smith
won the 250cc class ahead of Kent Howerton and Ron Pomeroy... We
reviewed the BMW R90S, which sold for $3695.

LOOKING BACK I
Our Can-Am 175 ASE test bike was featured in action on the cover
40 years ago... Kent Howerton won his second Superbikers race at
Carlsbad Raceway... Indian Dunes hosted the final round of the CMC
Trans-Cal MX Series. Johnny O'Mara won both the 125cc and 250cc
Championships, and Mike Larson took the 500cc title... The race for
the number-one plate in the longest AMA GNC season ever came
down to the final race, the Springfield Mile. The title went to Ricky
Graham by one point over Bubba Shobert.
