The Seattle Cossacks performed many S1Unts at the Motorcycle Safety Fair.
Gamer Yamaha, beat Lind in 250cc
GP by passing on the outside in the last
tum of the last lap'of thrir second heat.
Rhys Howard, from Canada where
they allow names like Rhys, put on an
amazing performance, running away
from 550cc Production and taking second in both 600 and 850cc Cafe. Questions have been raised trackside as to
whether the Canadian Secas are different from those available in the U.S.
The water-cooled RD350s available
to Canadians have already posed some
problems. Clearly unfair to run in
430cc Production, they have been relegated to run in 600cc Cafe, where they
are generally not competitive. The answer seems to be to pump them a bit
and run Cafe, but this is not attractive
to those who would like to keep an essentially stock machine_
Tod Dressel won this round of 125cc
GP with his racing partner and chief
opponent Pete Jacobson in second.
They may have to look to another class
to find someone else to race ~gainst.
Ray Baker, riding the Kawasaki
superbike that Krauser International
put together last year, has apparently
ironed out the persistent bugs they had
with the bike as he cruised to an Open
GPwin.
The $750 claiming race, sponsored
by Oregon Motorcycle Parts, is a run·
what-you-brung race and is essentially
anything goes with two stipulations:
The bikes must be safe, and you must
sell it to anyone who puts a $750 claim
against it within a half-hour after the
race is over. Gene Brown won the
OMP claiming race, and a lot of new
interest was detected as he put a $100
check in his pocket after a winning
ride on a rat worth about half that.
