It was the first time out for little Pat Evans after an accident sidelined him for several months.
EL TORO, CAL, Aug. 15,1971 - TV
cameras bring out the strangeness in
people. AT least that's the way it
appeared today at the AFM's Bueo GP
at
Orange
County
International
Raceway when a video-taping crew from
Theta Cable TV came out to catch some
of the action. Strange, indeed.
Dean Hummer spent half the sidecar
race dogging it with the rest of the
sidecar crews for the bnefit of the TV
fellows, until he got the "get going" sign
and the tigh tly knit bunch suddenly
spread out as if a bomb scare was called
in
the
middle
of
them.
Hummer/Gubranscn quickly took the
lead and began stretching in until they

riders jumped off almost immediately

hay bale, sent a flagman codoing
through the air, then crashed into the
wall.
The fue was quickly put out, but the
bike and car were pretty weU damaged.
Nobody
was
hurt seriously.
And
Hummer kept his streak alive.
Then, there was the Norton Gang's
battle in the Open Production class, this
time between Bill Manley and Jack
Simmons.
As the pair sped about the two·mile
course, lapping early, neither could get a
sizeable lead over the other and they
exchanged the lead nearly 10 times
during the 12·lap event. Manley held the
advantage through most of the second
half but Simmons got the point on the
