On Sunday, August 17, 1997, two very cool things happened in global motorcycle racing. In the United States of America, Team Kawasaki rookie Ricky Carmichael clinched his first AMA 125cc National Championship at the Washougal Motocross Park in Washington State. Meanwhile, over in Europe, Italian-born 125cc Grand Prix contender Valentino Rossi won the British Grand Prix at Donington. A few weeks later, he'd clinch his first FIM World Championship.
