MX History

Hakan Carlqvist was so far out front at the Citadel (GP of Namur) that he pulled over and drank a beer with the fans. The Citadel track literally wrapped in and out of a historic castle in Belgium. The track was lined with cafes and bars. Hence the beer stop. Probably my favorite motocross story of all time (besides Ed winning the Catalina GP on a $200 bike). Sadly the race and the track are no more.

Here's the cafe where Hakan pulled over for his celebration beer.

Tigert = 1st out of 58 Novice. 97 out of 196 Overall
Waynium = 2nd Vet 250+, 5th out of 76 Intermediates, 47th out of 196 overall.
Not bad, Not bad at all for a road racer and a east coast MXer.
