August 9-SammyTanner firmly believes that "Sombody uP there like me" after his performance at the Whiteman Speedway Saturday night. Tanner won his heat hancl1ly with the staggering time of 56.44, giVing him the fastest time of the evening for the second week 10 a row. In the Trophy Dash, John Carter gave 11 a little too much throttle as he accelerated for the finish line and down he went. It was a nice easy lay down and as he had gotten uP considerable speed, he slid right up to the finish l1ne, but he was about two feet short and before he could pick uP his machine and get across the line, Tanner had crossed for the wln. This one will be talked about for a long time to come. The B malo was all Jim Greshams' as he grabbed the lead at the onset and held 11 all the way to the finish. In the A Malo Sonny Nutter switched tram a JAP to an ESO-JA WA to compete 10 this one and 11 seems his choice was correct. Nutter zapped Norm Elledge right at the l1ne by the thickness of a tire to take the wln. Sammy Tannlr and Paul Conllrrllrl slldlnl Into a lurn.
