WIN THE MACHINE
OF YOUR DREAMS
Arter the long seige of big bike drag meets, this weekend seemed
like an echo cbamber with only the last sounds faintly beard. But the
Friday meet at Lions sbowed that some new noises are going to be
made. Sonny Raslawski and Millard Disharoon each tipped the nitro
cans in tbeir individual ways and eacb ended the day with a different
note.
Disharoon was the first out for a
try at the quarter mile on a fuel

'tOP STREET
Sal Estrada had watched the two
previllous money races and planned to
not become a similar victim of error.
He carefullY staged his Harley-Davidson
and left when the christmas tree was
green to win top street turning 12.93
E.T. and 101.80 mph.
It will be interesting to see how
many competitors drop their guard after
this week's example and become Red
Light victims next time.

on Fridays, but will change the day of
Cycle competition to Sundays. Next
week. October 2nd, the gates will open
