Superstreet victory to Gray at AFM Sears Point In the Open GP contest, Kerry Bryant showed off his new immaculate fullysponsored bike, Red Landis' Warland Engineering Kawasaki KZl000. He responded by jetting to the win, followed by Rich Oliver, on Kerry's old Z-l. and Mike Summen on his TZ750. The AFM number one plate is still in doubt, and today's results didn't clarify anything. BoPt points leader Louis Vallerga (Palo Alto Yam-lightweight Superstreet) and Kirk Graves (Palo Alto Yam/Radasich Racing-45Occ Prod) won their classes, with Wayne Montoya, John Glover, Frank Mazur and Howard Monise all within striking distance. 600cc Box Stock had Frank Mazur maximizing points at the expense of Tom Chew. Chew led the fust two laps, only to be passed by Mazur. "A dog ran mto me, and I broke my foot two weeks ago," said Frank, obviously uncomfortable after his victory but with humor intact and tongue still firmly implanted in cheek, as usual. Joe Montoya (Yam) held off John Glover (Yam) for third. An interesting phenomenon is occurring in the AFM. 125 and 250cc GP, once two of the largest classes in the club, are suffering from poor particiP!ltion. Reason? The numher one through nine plates will be awarded to the top nine points-getten regardless of c1ass. Formerly, numben one through five were reserved for the top five GP riden, with the rest going to the top four Production riden. Not considering the presence of AMA pilots out for a little club practice, the GP classes are too expensive .for the rest of the club, the maintenance too costly and timecOlllUJDing, and the gasoline to get to the races far too pricey. But the straw that broke the camel's back was the lack of recognition in the form of a single-digit plate. More than a few people have expressed their concerns about the dog-eat-dog nature of professional racing and its influence on AFM racing, which is amateur in nature and friendly and congenial in spirit. A quick look at the points standings shows that nine out of the top 10 poinu leader are in street-based daMes; only one, Danny Coe, is a GPer, and it appean that he has withdrawn from com~ition. Then again, perhaps credit is fma11y going to the guys and gals that have supported the club all along. The next AFM race is at Laguna Sea on September 27'. The next race at Sean Point occun on October 11 . 2-P1ECE SUIT.
