BAKERSFIELD, CALIF. July 4, 1970Hotter than a flrecracker, Larry Shaw had a near perfect night. He was matched 1il the Scratch Main Event aga1nst Rick Woods, Jim Gresham and Bill Cody. Larry pressured his way through competition along with Rick Woods for the first of four thrill spill laps. Rick went a I1tue too hot and nicked the wall which slowed Gresham down and let Cody charge in behind Larry Shaw. Shaw was wortily of the challenge, and took a triumphant checkeredtlag, with additional warm reception from trophy girl Ronnie Greene. Bakersfield fans had an additional treat when home town boy, Mike Lane, won the Handicap Main Event, fresh from his triumphant road race at Louden, New Hampshire.

One of the two prime functions of oil in the two stroke is to lubricate the bearings and other friction generating surfaces such as the piston and cylinder wall. The second prime function is just a,s critical as lubrication, and that is to COOL THE ENGINE PARTS. THIS COOLING IS DONE ALMOST ENTIRELY BY THE OIL, as gasoline has minimal cooling qualities. Since T-C is used in richer ratios, lubrication is greatly increased and the engine runs much cooler. We are now able to enjoy a THIRD FUNCTION-as T·C is used in richer ratios~T-C is acting as a piston seal giving us a tremendous increase in compression. Common practice of present moto-cross winners is to replace the carburetor jet with a jet of approximately fwo sizes larger and using a Gas-T -C ratio of 8 to 1. FOR MORE INFORMATION Other lubricants, when used in heavier ratios, reduce the energy-quality of gasoline. This can be experienced by running a gas-oil mixture in your automobile. Due to the quietness of the exhaust system you can hear the pinging and feel the loss of power. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH T-C BECAUSE T-C DOES NOT INHIBIT THE COMBUSTION OF GASOLINE AT ALL: SOUTHERN ORANGE COUNTY MOTOCROSS HEADQUARTERS Husqvama - YiII11aha - Greeves Honda ACCESSORIES -SPECIAUSTS NO CARBON 525 N. EI Camino Real T-C is a pure chemical lubricant which burns absolutely clean because T-C contains no carbon forming oils such as castor or petroleum oil. Excessive carbon build-up acts like a sponge to absorb both the fuel mixture when cold and soak .up heat and increase engine temperature when hot.
