- Burgett was riding harder than he ever had on the national .circuit, trying to hold off Ramirez for fifth. Eierstedt soon joined the fray and when Ramirez stepped off, the remainder of the race would be a handlebar twister between Eierstedt and Burgett over .fifth spot, with the bigger share of the purse going to Rich. Up front Glover began pulling out a huge lead, leaving the last half Of the race somewhat ann-climatic. Broc clinched the win and his second title of the year. The World Championship ~ni Title certainly meant more to Broc than his 125cc National Number One. Behind trailed Mike and Dave Farina: Miller, Eierstedt and Burgett. Post race questioning of Broc netted an answer to the blue flames. " W ith 98 percent nitromethane, things started getting a little warm." The fuel was leg a l though, and this was one title Br oc could lay claim to without question. PARKING LOT SALE This is it!

Instead, it was Jammin' Jimmy Jaws' own super wrench. Steve Johnson , who devastated the competition in his qualifying heat and then jumped for the lead in the feature. Steve led for half the race then, some guy, passed him and won. I never did find out who it was that won , but since all the motomonthlies get their race reports out of Cycle News all year long I'm sure they won't mind this one time if I wait for them to come out with their stories. Look for the complete results of who won the mechanic's race, in Cycle News, about six months from now . I did figure out who almost everyone else was , with Johnson placing second ahead of "Radical" Ron Turner (Mechanic?), Eric Crippa, David Osterman, Lyons and #47 . Oh yeah , Brad Lackey'S old tuner, Bill Callcira, who won the mechanic's race two years ago, didn't win last year , and failed to qualify this year, said he'd bust my head if I let Cycle News edit out his sponsor , Powroll, like they d id last year. He a lso wanted me to mention his girl friend Debbie Rocha who would be riding his XR-75 Honda in the Powder Puff race . After this year's performance though , Bill won't have his sponsor or his girl friend m uch longer. Press and contingency clash After devastating the class in '75 and letting Motorcyclist'S Brad Zimmerman narrowly edge me out last year for the title , this year's race proved to be a real disaster. But it wasn't my fault. fo My JW Racing prepared DG RM 80 Suzuki was a might too pipey for the course , but my Bell helmet , JT gloves, Tony D. jersey, Hallman nylon leathers and Heckel boots worked real well . I bailed off more than once in the qualifiers. My pride was hun an d I was in the Rambler's club house letting a pretty young lady soothe my hurts when they flagged off the start of the Press and Contingency Sponsor feature race. I even missed the entire Powder Puff race . b When I joined the race in progress , i.t was from last place. Three 'guys bailed off, so out of the eight guys in the feature , I was able to do a fantastic job of fighting m y way up to fif th place by the finish . I'll let you know by the end of the year what factory was lucky enough to sign me to a contract after that fantasti c display . The other guys. though , should have been totally embarrassed as Scott Breihaupt from Bicycle Motocross magazine blew their number panels off to win the Feature. Roscoe Saticoy Ventura Fwy.
