I worked for a guy named Chris Carter that used to race against Torsten when he did outdoor races. Chris now owns Motion Pro, a cable and tool manufacturer. First time I went riding with him, Malcolm Smith came along. Holy cow, no one could keep up with them. All across Clear Creek, I just followed the dust plume!

I posted that to the young man because I'd seen the 1st Inter Am Motocross in Dallas in '68, just a few weeks before I shipped out to SE Asia.
The Europeans showed their stuff....and their bikes. Husqvarna, Jawa CZs, Bultacos and a couple BSA 441 Victors. Dave Bickers was there on a 'thumper' but couldn't beat the two strokes. Torsten Hallman won.
There were a bunch of top names ....but I've forgotten their names. But I'll never forget the race.
After that I was gone for nearly three years and lost sight of the circuit till I bought an MX for my son.
