I just wanted to post and show everyone these, before I hand the magazine off to Ollie.
American Motorcycling (AMA) magazine. August 1968.
They had a little problem spelling Ollie's name correct. Marzin, instead of Martin.

Wow... I see dozens of names I know.. Even Gene Richie, Red Bud MX track owner... Lots and lots of locals from Indiana there too...
I am glad to have grown up during the period I did, following a lot of those great guys !

Thanks for the posting, love looking back at those great days and the names of the riders who helped to make them so. Lots of engine displacement classes. I was mentioning this posting to Ollie the other day, he stated that he had pretty much gotten out of the race game before the CMF even came along... Sure do miss Al Born..
