Make Tidwell di dn 't have it all his o wn way ; he m issed a shift one lap an d then the fr on t end wa shed on h im in the new section and down he went, which was all Eddie Beeson needed. He 'd been bre athin g on Mike's rear wheel. Jeff Springman emerged overall winner and th e t h re e rounds between him, Beeson, Gre g Zehner a nd Ti dw ell were super. Only the 50 0 Nov ices had enou gh riders for a main a nd winner Mik e Montgomery (Ya m) was in front in his heat and aga in in the main. The Gripsters wildly cheered on t h eir man, Car l Pfetzin g, in the semi' as Mike McCauley tried like m ad to ta ke second away fro m him , but th e lead Montgomery go t in t he main was unch allenged th ou gh Stan Kemp and John Well s did t he ir best.

Round one he got T aylor on ce but co uld n 't hold onto th e lead. Last moto he burned out off the lin e a ft er the rubber band was in place and unhappily lost his place on the line to a not her rider. Third place man was Triumph-mounted Mike Beanway who had b een changing pl aces off and on with Earl Parker. Don Grigsby lived up to that number One on the fron t o f his bike although fellow pro Don Frauenberger kept him busy a time or two as did Jim Redding. Most disgusted rider was Re x Hailey whose bike let go first moto right when he was leading. Next r ace t he Grispters will host will be at Ascot on December 5. The cost will be up a bit due to the cost of renting Asco t but it 'll be worth it . • • Results in R esults Section.
