Bad Luck for Corder, Haaby
TlYing road racing for the second
time was Butch Corder. Butch got
on the front brake too hard in practice and was pitched off his 500cc
Triumph and hospitalized with a
cracked neck and damaged elbow.
Dan Haaby again had his usual
bad luck at road racing events and
was out of the running with oil pump
problems on his BSA 500.
Chuck Sedgewick blew his engine in practice, streaming oil over
much of the course. Right behind
came two other riders who hit the
slick and fell. Both walked a way as
Sedgewick pushed his bike back to
the pits.
Arizona's Yogi Mariscal rode his
second road race on a Yamaha 250
and led many of the veterans much
of the race before missing a turn.
He is one of the best looking lightweight prospects to come along in
many a year.
