Pridmore wh.o won with a very
comfortable lead. The 500 production
class wen t to Dick Lewis on his Honda
with Jim Dickensen in Second,
Pridmore proved that he is indeed a
very talented and versatile racer as he
brought h.is Norton powered sidecar in
first in' the sidecar race. Also entered in
the . sidecar race was a Volkswagen
powered three-wheeler which blew up
and spilled oil all the way through tum
seven. Said an observing Volkswagen
mechanic: "1 could have told you that it
was going to do that."
In the 250 Junior GP even Wes
Cooley Junior put out a very
un-Junior-like
ride
to
take
a
com fortable first ahead of Marcus
Phares. Cooley also did the deed to the
heavyweight
Juniors
aboard
his
Kawasaki 500, Second man in was Ross
Putnam aboard his Triumph for the
open
Disappoin tmen t of the day was
awarded to John Crossman in the 350
Junior GP event. When the flag fell·ne
got away dead last, but then got
cooking and put on a turn of spe.ed that
very quickly brought him through the
pack and into the lead. Once there he
just continued to rush away, and there
was nothing that anyone could do about
it. But Lady Luck did, and as he went
in to the last lap Crossman's gear box
was stricken. Suddenly he found that he
couidn't keep it in any of the top three
gears. So, with over two miles to go,
Crossman had to finish in second gear.
He almost made it, but in the last-turn
the very fast Honda of Dave Racine
came by him.
Dick Fuller did his usual and won the
350 production class ahead of Dale
McCreary.
Howard Lynggard won the 125
Senior class ahead of Colin Jones. Both
,were
Yamaha
mounted.
James
,McWorthy brough t his Ice Men Racing
Team Bridgestone in for first 100, and
Greg Hartwell and Paul Wilde took the
top honors in the two 50cc Senior
divisions.
Whitney Blakeslee again brough this
-175cc Kawasaki from Anza Cycles
home first in c1as~
win.
Sidecars are an unusual sight at ACA events and this one is particularlx unusual. It is a T~iumph carrying Mike Kautzky and Norm J~mison.
Other people besides Pridmore races BeeEms. Miles Rossteus<;:her bends this one around turn 6.
