The 250cc Money TT was a battle
between three riders who have grown
up and come through the ranks
together. When they get together the
sparks fly, and tonigh t was no
exception.
Randy Bird took the lead at the
start with Mike Kirby , fresh from his
win at Houston, in second and Roger
Thompson in third with Curtis
Cannon locking up fourth . Thompson
made the first move getting by Kirby
on the second lap. One lap later
Cannon followed suit. On the fifth lap
Thompson banzaied by Bird to take
over the lead, and that was all she
wrote .
At the finish it was Thompson,
Cannon and Bird.
There were quite a few double
winners . Rex Wessels dominated the
125cc Novice classes while Jim
Chapman claimed the wins in th e Not
So Over T he Hill Gang, and Don
Meine r was top dog in Open Amateu r .

Kurt and I met at Pocono and quickly
determ ined that singly neither he nor I
could prepare the bikes and ra ise t he dol lars. So we forme d th is team . He does the
bikes and I do the dollars. Wh ile Ku rt is
getting greasy, I' m breaking bread with the
iiE No . ·1 's in 23 of the top 50 corporations in
th is country, 21 of w hich represent 60% of
your rac ing budget but are in no way conne cted with motorcycles and had no reason able way to get i nvolved w ith helping the
professional racer until L&M happened . In
E addition, 3 related compan ies want to get
involved with a more positive approach sirn ilar to t hat of the top 23 giants. As the middie men , we have agreed to sell only to
= verified competition license ho lders. The
rub is, at this time, there is no way to verify
== your licenses unless, as agreed, you send
= us a pencil tracing of your license. The
second rub is that without that verifying
cooperation and mailings, Kurt and I must
_ get your assistance for flyers and catal ogs,
computerization, additional correspondence
