OVER-60 EXPERT: If you had told motocross racers back in 1968 that they would still be racing in 2010—they would have laughed you out of the pits. Believe it or not, 42 years later they are still racing. It is shocker to see all of the Over-60 Experts out preparing for next week’s World Vet Championship. In fact, there were four former World Vet Champions (and they had won a combined 13 World Vet titles in all the age groups) on the starting line for the Octobercross’ Over-60 class—including last year’s World Vet Champion Bill Maxim. Maxim showed that he is on the fast track to win his third Over-60 World Vet Championship when he easily gapped Alan Olson (2-2), Tom White (3-3), T.V. Holmes (4-4), Lars Larsson (5-5), Jody Weisel (6-6), Bill Seifert (10-7) and Bengt Johansson (7-10). Over the last ten years the Over-60 World Championship has been won by Hideaki Suzuki (2000), Lars Larsson (2001), Eyvind Boyesen (2002), J.N. Roberts (2003), Hans Hansson (2004), Alan Olson (2005), Terry Sage (2006), Thorlief Hanssen (2008) and Bill Maxim (2007 and 2009).
