1962 BSA Wins 2 out of 3 at Daytona





Stock Gold Stars Dominate two out of three Daytona races.

Did you know that stock BSA Gold Stars won both the A.M.A. Road Races at Daytona, March 3, 1962, and dominated both events with machines exactly as available through any BSA dealer.... no expensive speed kits to buy.... all speed parts are built into the Gold Star at the factory!

100 Miler: George Montgomery rode a dealer-tuned Gold Star to brilliant victory. Dick Newell was second on another Gold Star. The winner rode a stock Gold Star - same as you can buy from your dealer!

10 out of 20 finishers rode Gold Stars!

70 miler: Howard Utsey rode another dealer-tuned Gold Star to win - a stock machine, same as you can buy from you dealer!

11 out of first 20 finishers rode Gold Stars!
