EMDE RIGHT ON
AT ROAD RACE
By Marty McGillivray
CARLSBAD, CALIF., November 8,
1970 - It was a day designed for racing,
and the racers obliged.
On the date of the last road race
before the big international at Orange
County, Don Emde showed he will be
one of the top contenders. Today, most
of the stars were out getting in one last
session of racing, but Emde ran away
and hid from the pack in both the 250
and Open G.f. events.
In the 350, 500, and Open G.P. he
was not only the pacesetter, but he ran
the fastest lap ever recorded at Carlsbad.
He clipped .2 seconds off the record
held by Cal Rayborn, turning a 1:06.0
lap, remarking later that he could have
made his 350 Yamaha go even faster.
Most of the regular winners were at
the race, John McGillivray being about
the only one missing. And for the most
part they won. Jack Simmons led the
"Norton Gang" to a 1-2ยท3 win in the
Heavyweight Production event. This
race saw the return of George Kerker to
the scene after missing several races due
to a s'everely fractured hand. It was this
fact which possibly kept him from
winning the Heavyweight event. At one
point he took the lead, only to have his
weakened hand give out on him, as he
fmished a very close third.
In that race Jack Simmons, Bill
Manley, and Kerker all had the lead at
one point. Simmons, the eventual
winner, went off into the bushes once,
showering the other two with debris,
but did not surrender the lead.
Next to the production event, the
most exciting race was the Open Jr. G.P.
