Summer Regional Roadraces, those that did were rewarded with a full day of club roadracing. No ' wind (at Willow Springs???), lots of intriguing motor. cycles both in the pits and on the.track, and lots of p it woofies all conspired to make for a really enjoyable day of low-key club-type roadracing. In the 125 GP heat as well as the Main event; Mike Hishiki on his really trick Honda RSC Elsinore based, 6· speed, 155 Ib GP bike ran off and hid from the pack. Really no contest.

Mike Lobenberg on th e Suzuki 380 likewise ran off and hid from the battling duo of Chuck Parme and Steve Gilbert. The Morini versus Honda 400 battle fo r 5th place being resolved with Denny Berg firmly ahead of Steve Carroll(F F-400). T h e 250 GP h eat r ace saw J o hn Glover (on his second only GP ride) lead most of the event with T ony Murphy playing catch up a fter having fluffed the sta rt . On the last lap Murphy closed up alm ost ten bik e lenghts between turns _ eight a nd nine.
