Factory Yamaha at Unadilla as he won a
convincing overall with two firsts. John
defeated Dennis Law (Mal) in the first
moto and Gary Chaplin (Mal) in the
fmal.
...
The overall .( unofficial) list was
varied, with SIX different brands
showing in the top seven places; Gary
Chaplin and Bob !smallof made Malco
the only brand with two top placings.
A field of over one hundred entries
required heat races with the overall
winner decided on the basis of his two
moto placings.
Yankee Motors surprised everyone by
unveiling its new proto-type 455cc
single way ahead of schedule. Barry
Higgins of CZ-Yankee-CZ fame was
hack with Yankee once again. The new
bike shows a lot of promise as Higgins
picked up a seventh overall with a
fourth and nin th in the two motos.
The Yankee appeared surprisingly
troublefree. Minor adjustments in
jetting appeared to be the only bo ther.
Motor, handling and response (in the
upper power band) seemed extremely
good.
Dewayne J ones credited his overall
victory to the Goody£ar MX tires,

was Jones' only comment.
