IF YOU'RE USING PLAIN MOTOR OIL TO OIL YOUR FOAM FILTER . YOU'RE MISSING THE COMPLETE 'REASONS FOR A FOAM FILTER. Foamfilters were designed to be oiled. It is the filter oilthat traps the dust and dirt and keeps it from passingthrough the filter. Twin- . Air G.P. Filter Oil was speciallydeveloped to trap dust and dirtwith rt s unique properties and will also shed water that may splash on the filter. If you're running foam filters, insist on Twin-Air G.P. Filter Oil for complete filter efficiency. Hlarka, Parry top ARRARR By Jim Lester American Road Racing Associa tion promoter Pat Manning de scribed Sunday's rider turnout at Willow Springs as the smallest he's had fo r a road race all season. H e blamed the small turnout on . first . an A.F.M . road race the same weekend a t Sea rs Point , and , second , a n unfounded rumor that his club doesn't carry rider insurance. Actually, there's $5,000 cove rage (with- $100 deduct ibl e) . And restauranteur /racer Earl Smith sta rted a " be n evolent fu nd" to ai d riders who can't affor d t he deduct ible. The 250cc GP rac e was a real barnburner. Dennis Parry (Yam), Ron H larka , Wally Karpynec (Yam) and Eddie Lawson (Yam) spent the first three la ps (eigh t m iles) in a tight " Blue Angels" diamond formation. Lawson was the first to drop off the pa ce, with Karpynec slipping back halfway through th e race. Hlarka (Specialist II Yam, 1:39 laps) finally go t around Parry on th e sevent h of 10 laps, and held on to win despite being slowed by "la p pe d" traffic at the flag . After four la ps in the Open GP rac e Steve Mallonee (Kaw, 1:38) had bu ilt up a fou r-second lead over Dennis Parry (Ya m) . But Steve's back tire began overheating and sliding in the turns, allowing Parry to close to within one second with only two laps to go . Dennis got around Steve on the ninth lap, and took the victory by one and a half seconds. Dennis was racing in the 500cc class, though, so Steve still got credit for the Open GP win. The 410ce Product ion r a c e promised to be an in teresting battle, with Thad Wolfe (Yam) and Malcolm Hill (Ya m ) tied for the class points lead , and Ed Toomer (Yam ) only five points back: Wolfe and Toomey looked fast in practice, with Hill struggling to bounce back (sorry , no pun in tend ed) from a horrendous crash at Riverside the week before . - SEE YOUR HI-POINT DEALER FOR THE FINEST IN DIRT BIKE RACING PRODUCTS ROSAMOND , CA , OCT. 8 HI-POINT RACING PRODUCTS 3709 W.
