Terry Gough (75CI. and Ron Kesler (34GI. , By James Brammer SANTA ROSA, CAL., June 24, 1972Ted Kennedy, recently advanc'ed to Expert, signed up for Amateur Short Track racing at the Chris Beck A rena, riding his trusty 125 that carried him to the track championship in 1971. Of the 18 Experts on the night's program, Kennedy was the only 125 Expert. Referee Ray Bennett announced at the riders meeting that Kennedy would be placed in the 250 class with an advantage start. The announcement drifted by without catching attention. Kenr.edy was given a quarter lap advantage on the final start. The riders were off on a nervous start with some down in the first corne.r. On a restart, some were penalized. Mike Richardson soon was leading the 250's after the restart. Terry Otton moved, up behind Richardson and confusion began developing as some riders were down on the track. The checkered flag was waved for Richardson after the full eigh t laps with Kennedy going an extra lap before. getting the flag. The 250 riders were being handed the trophies when Kennedy pulled in and announced that District 35 TT he had won. The advan tage start no longer sounded like a good idea, but the referee stood finn behind his previously announced commitment. Ted Kennedy was first. 1n the 250 Junior class, Corky Swadley took the lead on the second lap with Kelly Mcisaac moving by Duane Yarrow for second. On the third lap of the eight lap final Mike Muscrive secured second spot from Mcisaac and the three went on to finish in that order. Ron Baxman halted while leading the 200 Junior final when a chain jumped off his rear sprocket. Jim Perry and Jerry Simpson, starting from the second line on slow starts in the 175 Junior class, moved up with Perry taking the win from Larry Beaty and Simpson in for third. For the fifth tiroe, it was that night of the year when the North Bay Motorcycle Club hands over the proceeds from the annual benefit race to epresentatives from the Grace Reese Center. Dick Carrera handed over a check for a record sum of S 1661. Children. who must have special education are trained at the Center. w-----------.. I HELLO' I I I I.
