SOUTH GATE, CAL. Dec. 12, 1969Kawasak1 dominated the 100cc Class at
the South Gate T. T. with !tve of the !1rst
six poslt1ons, as Bill Dobbs overtook
Bob Brook ln a hot ma1n event.
Tbey didn't bave Jim Raymond to lead
them around this time because he bad run
into a Uttle engine trouble ln this class
and couldn't keep up the pace.
Jim Ray"mond came back stong on h1s
125cc Yamaha to take that class way out
ahead of Gregg Edans, alsoona Yamaha,
followed by Gary Hardin aDd Ralpb Mulbolland who ran 3rd and 4th on thelr
Yamahas.
Head of the Moon clan, Irwin Moon
(father of two racing sons), showed them
just what experience aDd ah1Uty 15 all
about when be came out on lop with the
250CC win and trophY.
The 250Cc T.T. bas been won by Jim
Raymond on a Montesa for the best part
of the season, but tb1s time be sbeared
off the nuts and bolt of b1s rear sprocket
ln one of the beat ntces, then bad to ride
a seml for the first time in many months
on an Ossa. He bad some trouble with
the sh1ttlng pattern but stIlI won this
event.
Raymond's luck didn't bold up ln the
ma1n. At the flag be was well to the rear
of the pack.
Not to over look the Flat Trackhc1ng
- 11 too bad a new winner in the 100Cc
class with Allen Swett on an Cimattt
taId.ng borne the bacon. Kawasak1 took
the next four spots.
Again maIdng those gears work, Jim
Raymond turned on to win the 125cc flat
track, and t1nally won the 250Cc ma.1n
eveot on the Ossa.
