LASl MINUTE NOTES
Rick Hutchins motors down the back section of the course.
Art Baumann may ride a Kawasaki at
Laguna Seca. Thai is, if Suzuki will
release him to do so. It is unresolved at
last report. ,There was a press party
there on Wednesday and Baumann went
around with a bunch of other go fast
types. The real-life press people there
were somewhat impressed by it all
especially those who went for a spin
with Reg Pridmore in his Norton
sidehack. He wasn't sandbagging too
much, e~ther.
