On the shelf and ready for marketing is a complete oil cooler installation kit for
the Honda Four. .Designed specifically for Honda's CB750, the oil cooler will keep
engine temperature normal at sustained high speeds and in the hottest weather.
Installation of the kit requires only normal hand tools and less than two hours of
time. In addition to the cooler core, the kit contains the supply pipe, return pipe and
all requi.red hose connections, clamps and complete instructions with photos. From
experience in oil cooling other air-cooled engines, the manufacturer expects that
owners will have less maintenance and longer engine life by installing the oil cooler.

Ontario $50,000 Race
ONTARIO, CALIF., Nov. 24 - Motorcycle racing's richest event ever has been
programmed ioto Ontario Motor Speedway for Oct. 17, 1971, by track president,
David B. Lockton. Lockton has received confirmation from American Motorcycle'
Association leaders who met in Columbus, Ohio, that a four-day $50,000 program
for their riders has been granted full approval. It also will be open to international
cyclists. A 200-mile race on OMS' 3.2-mile infield road course on Oct. 17 will be the
highlight of the weekend program. More than 100 of the world's greatest riders will
compete in that event for a purse twice as great as any other offered in cycling.
Lockton also revealed that a week-long motorcycle trade show is being planned in
conjuction with the racing program. It would be held within the nO-acre, 25-million
dollar sp.eedway complex, racing's .newest and largest multi-purpose motor
competition plant. The Ontario cycling classic, with its huge purse, also would pay
more points to riders, conceivably deciding a world championship. Points in the
AMA structure are based on purse monies.
