Boyd was making his first California appearance after a season of racing in England. Grant had come out on top in the heat race, but it had been a close thing. 10 the final, however, he had things a bit better. Boyd was back there, all right, but at a more respectable distance. Behind Boyd was Koshino, this time on an X-6 based racer, and fourth in the official results was Dick Kilgroe of Hayward on the Howard Motors sponsored Team Cutlass Suzuki. (Ahead of Kilgroe on the track but not appearing in the results was Walt Fulton. At press time we were unable to contact the AFM, but Fulton was probably riding a 125cc works racer for ° no points. O ) '350cc Grand Prix The 350cc AFM class is pretty much the private preserve of boredout Super Hawks, using Precision Machining or Webco 350 kits. Sunday's race was an exception though, as the apple cart was knocked heltel'"skelter by another Suzuki Grant on the factory 125. Grant won, but Honda-mounted Dave Burchards protested and after a friendly discussion it was agreed to award the money to Grant, but the class championship points to Burchards. As the big bikes lined up on the starting grid G ran t once again brought the little Suzuki out to do battle. Fourth on lap one, he passed one man by lap two, got around Triumph 650-moun ted Tom Steele by lap three and began chasing leader Dave Bostrom's Triumph. On lap seven, Grant was less then three bike lengths behind Bostrom when he saw the leader go wide on turn six. °1 thought to myself, 'Here's where 1 get him,'· Grant said later, telling how he threw the little bike low into the turn. Only then did Ron discover the reason Bostrom had gone wide - oil on the pavement. Rider and machine did a delicate ballet across the track and Dick Kilgroe (Honda) and Al Whitney (Manx Norton) who were having their own private battle zipped past. Unhurt, Grant remounted and worked his way into third place at the finish. , • Production Events Art Baumann of San Francisco won the 250 prod uction race on an X-6 Suzuki, but was disqualified on protest for bump starting. New winner was Gerry Long (Yamaha) of San Francisco. Georganne Muhlberg continued her domination of the IODcc class on her stock Yamaha. Open GP winner Bostrom rode an Ossa to victory in the 175 production class. Hondas ridden by Ken Hickman and Vic Manvelli respectively won the 350 and 500cc production races. Phil Bennett'" Triumph 650 was winner in the open. (Results on page 16) •
