Dick Kilgroe. legendary road racer. won a whole bunch of street bike races at Ontario . Juliussen and Hewitt often outbraked and passed King, only to be repassed on the straighter sections of the course. Hewitt kept diving in on his Production machine, passing King and J uJiussen at Tum 19, and every other tight section of the Ontario course. Finally King got too much distance on the straigh t and banking for the slower machines. King was third in 125 GP, JuJiussen won 100 GP. and Hewitt was second in 200 GP . David Emde led the start of 250 GP, chased by Harry Klinzmann , Rudy Galindo, Dick Fuller. and Kent Rockwell. Emde stretched it out, on his Mark Yamaha while Galindo went after K1inzmann. For three laps in a row, Galindo (Hap J ones Yamaha) passed K1inzmann (Ron Pierce Yamaha) won the outside of Turn 18, and left-hander, setting himself up fo r the inside on Tum 19, th e t igh t-b an der im mediately following. But with K1inzmann cl ose on his left , Galindo wa s fo rced int o a tight entrance to T um 19. Every ti me, K1inzmann squared off the tum an d do ve back under Galindo as Gal indo was forced by inertia to exit the turn wide. Finally , Galindo crashed in T um Six while lead in g K1inzmann . He. was unhurt and res tarted, bu t was no t again in the hu nt. Riding a Mack Kambayashi Yamaha identical to Emde's Tony Murphy kept movin g up in the p ack, p assing Dick Fuller (Korb's Trading Post Yam ah a) on the last lap. Behind Fuller came Whitney Blakeslee, Rocky Rockwell, and Wally Karpnec in a tight group . Emde ran away with the Op en GP on Gene Romero's spare Don Vesco TZ750, never challenged. Rocky Rockwell won the concurrently-run 350 GP class. Dick Kilgroe le p t into the lea d of Open Production on his Kawasaki Z-l, which was no su rprise in the ab sence of Ken Gill, Mike Parriott, and Keith Code. But what wa s a su rprise was that John Glover rode a Mr. Jags 850 No rton Interstate in a strong sec ond !,lace, far ahead of Davi d Bre et wo r (Triu mph 750), Dick Fuller (Yamaha 360 ), Emile MuJlick (Hon da 750) , and Tom Hayner (Yamaha 350). According to Steve Peterman of Mr. J ags, the Norton was painfully slow. Indeed, it always seemed slow when Peterman rode it . But with Glover aboard, the bike just flew. Finally , ign ition wire vibrated loose , ending Glover's ride . Glover rode the b ike in fo ur -stroke GP as we ll, b ut stopped and ju mped off when the "snortin' Norton." burst in to flam es o n th e back st ra igh t . The fire was qu ickly put out. Kilgro e went on to win Open 4-stroke GP and Su per Cafe by wide margins. Results in Results Section.
