LOOKING BACK
Our "special desert issue" featured Bultaco-
mounted Larry Bergquist on the cover
while racing at the Foothill Hawks Hare
Scrambles in the Mojave Desert; Mike
Patrick was the overall winner… We covered
the Shamrocks' 8th Annual Enduro, also
held in the Mojave Desert. In the 120-mile
long enduro, Dick Chase, riding a Norton
Twin, dropped just two points and captured
the overall win… We also covered the Pacific
Southwest Championship Hare Scrambles
near Red Mountain, California; Mike Patrick
won… We showed you the bikes from the
Cycle World Show.
Honda-mounted Brad Lackey won the second round of the 500cc
World Championship MX Series in Austria and was featured on the
cover 40 years ago. It was just his second GP win ever and it movedt
him up to within two points of championship leader and defending
champ Heikki Mikkola… We covered the 125/250 MX National
at Omaha Moto Park in Nebraska. Mark Barnett (125cc) and Bob
Hannah (250cc) scored the wins… Pat Hennen won the 500cc GP
at Jarama… Frank Gallo won the Alabama 2-Day.
