Ed Kretz and Son r eally ha d the monopol y on sponsor s hip results. Boris Murray's twin engine Triu mph s et the quarter mil e recor d of 161. 87 miles per
hour In a record time of 9.41 s econds.
On the same dealers' card wa s Bob
Ebeling'S 40- lncher that cr an ked out a
quarter mile spr int i n 10.33 seconds .
Eight racers vied for top bike gold
and glor y, includi ng a ne w twin-engine
machine unvieled by Don Harris. Don' s
Triumph powe r plants were dumping extensi ve loa ds on the chains a t every
attempted r un and they scattered li ke
birds spooked from a bush.
But the real s urpris e was to come;
when Don McEvoy and his r ide r buddy
Martinez defeated all conten ders for
the top bike bullion, No one s hould r eally
be surprised for consistenc y is the key
to a winne rs padlock . Buddy Mar tinez
rode the twin en gine winner a t co nsis te nt nine second runs .
All of the best s uch as, "Fra sh"
Gor don, Bob Braverman , Ebeling, Don
Harris , Joe Smith an d Morrow were
rapidly dispatched from contention a nd
Mur r ay vs , M c E voy -~lar ti nez became
the anticipated moment awaited by all
s pectators .
Fas ter, But Loses to Qui cker
Mur r ay had already established tha t
record of 9.41 seconds but no o ne pe rson
took It for granted that the race was over
before 11 had began. Both Murray and
Martinez fired easily and s ta ged a t the
starting line with engines be llowing s tacato tones of powe r . zap! off the line
toge ther; at the eighth-mile s ti ll together and only at the end di d Buddy
Marttnez surge for ward to win top bike
honors with an E.T. of 9.82 s e conds and
a s pee d of 152. 02 miles pe r hour .
Boris Murray was runner-up by a
me re four hundr eths of a second ; at
9.86 s ec onds and the miles pe r hour
astounded everyone a t 161.87 1
Triump h was not only a victor In the
top bike ranks , for Nlra Johns on was
eating up B gas contende rs . Nlr a r acked
uP the class win with a best miles per
hour of 117.00. All tha t was accompli sh ed In 11.73 seconds .
Lions-Harleys Top Stocks 6 Mods
Th e Sher win Bros. wer e on theIr well
accustomed winner's pIllion In modified
and s tock class e s . Al ha d ri dden hi s
Harley Sports te r to the quickest and
fastest of the A class machines . His best
run of the da y ne tt ed a 12.39-1 02.18.
There was on other Harley that won a
class a ward, en tered by Speedy High.
Speedy relied on cubic Inches to deliver po wer an d the y didn't le t him
down. Spe edy's elaps ed ti me was the
day's quickest of all s tre et machInes,
both modified and stock. His fr ont wheel
broke the electronic beam in just 12.20
s econds .
A fellow by the name of McC l ure
entered the ti rst Metisse I have seen
around dr ag racing plants. ThIs tir st
time entry Is set uP for desert bu t Is n' t
exa ctly a clod on the quarter mUe.
McClur e r e ceived a class trophy clocking 15.50 seconds a t 89.31 mUes pe r
hour.
Quickest an d fastest of the gass er s
ias Mallons 650cc Tri umph. Mallon
V
turned in a time ti cket tha t r ea d 12.1 0
seconds and 107 .00 mUes pe r hour.
Two fue l burners were entered but In
different clas s e s . Kolatack's " Vincen t"
was unchallenged In A Fuel . The big
Inche r turned a best of 11.08- 128.00.
Ber gan was the s econ d fuel bike entry.
His 650 Triumph cl ocked a bes t ever
miles pe r hour of 123.11 an d the E .T.
r egistered at 11.69 s e conds .
Bon Voyage, Flash Gordon
" F lash" Gordon had faced the moment of goodb yes af ter his four weeks
visit to the west coast. His HarleyDavidson gasser was admir ed by everyone he r e , both In Its pe rforma nce of
elapsed time and miles pe;- hour . It's
not many a gas powe r ed m achine that
can turn In the low tens and register
speeds In exc es s of 135 miles per hour .
Every Souther n Caillornla drag racer
hopes tha t " F las h" will honor us again
with hi s pr e s e nce a cco mpanied by his
bun dle of pers onallty an d sportsmanship .
Bon Voyage and good lu ck In the east
