40 Years Ago June 25, 1974
The cover description simply read: "Artwork by Steve Norman." Apparently
we liked Norman's work so much that we put it on the cover for no other
reason, which was reason enough for us… We covered the SRA Grand Prix
held for the sixth time at Riverside International Raceway in California… Jack
Penton won the Potosi ISDT Two-Day Qualifier in Missouri… We revealed
the all-new Hodaka 125 MX "Super Com-
bat"… Gaston Rahier won his first MX GP
in Germany; fellow Belgians Joel Robert
and Sylvain Geboers went 2-3.
30 Years Ago June 24, 1984
A photo of Warren Reid in action was pictured on the cover 30 years ago
to accompany our interview with the soon-to-be-retired motocrosser. A bro-
ken leg sped up that process… Mike Baldwin won the GNC/Camel Pro
Series road race at Loudon… Rick Johnson won the CMC Four-Stroke
MX Championship at Carlsbad… Australian Geoff Ballard was the guy to
beat that no one could at the Rose City ISDE Qualifier in Michigan… The
World Trials Championship came to New York and was won by Belgian
Eddy Lejeune.
10 Years Ago June 23, 2004
Speedway was the talk of the town 10 years ago with American Greg
Hancock winning the British Grand Prix… We reported the wins by Ricky
Carmichael (250) and James Stewart (125) at the Southwick National
Motocross… Guess who won the Italian Road Race Grand Prix at Catalu-
nya? Yup, Valentino Rossi… Noriyuki Haga won the World Superbike at
Silverstone… Andrew McFarlane claimed his very first Motocross Grand
Prix victory in the MX2 class in Italy… David Pearson edged out Kurt
Caselli for the overall win at the Idaho City Qualifier.
