We featured photos of pretty engines
on the cover of Cycle News 50 years ago.
Why not? We covered the Trask ISDT
Qualifier from Oregon, where rain stole
the headlines. The weather played havoc on
the trail, and no one knew who won when
it was all over... Wet weather was also a factor at the 250cc
Motocross National in West Virginia, where Jimmy Weinert used
his mud-riding expertise and won... More rain and mud challenged
the racers at the 49er National Enduro in Forest Hills, California.
George Hendix was the overall winner.
Our Yamaha FZ750 test bike was pictured from
Willow Springs on the cover 40 years ago... We
had coverage of the San Jose Short Track
and Mile 40 years ago. The short track took
place on Saturday and the mile on Sunday. Jay
Springsteen won the short track and Bobba Shobert the
mile... We were also in Texas for the Dallas Supercross,
where Rick Johnson took the win over Je‚ Ward... Danny
Chandler won the French 500cc MX Grand Prix in Thouars.
It was his first career GP win.
