No information available about when or where this picture was taken.  Any ideas, anyone?

Hi Ted,

I have not seen that photo before.

Here's another one that I found on a French website that I had not seen before that I wondered where it was taken. It has Heikki Mikkola, Bengt Aberg, and several U.S. riders in the photo.

Ted & Gary,

I have not yet found the top photo anywhere, but the lower one is in Gunnar Lindstrom's book Husqvarna Success, page 118.

The caption states,

Following the dominating 1971 season, Husqvarna fielded the largest team for the 1972 TransAMA Motocross series. Here, lined up in front of the Husqvarna Cycle Liner at the Road Atlanta race are, from the left: Rolf Tibblin, Per Olof Persson, Gunnar Lindstrom, Dick Burleson, Billy Grossi, Bob Grossi, Gary Semics, Billy Clements, Jim West, Arne Kring, Bengt Aberg, Mark Blackwell, Pierre Karsmakers, Heikki Mikkola and Kent Ohlin. (Husqvarna Fabriksmuseum).
