A broken fuel filler cost the Honda team time and a lack of an immediately available replacement meant that 1986's lOp Amateur Eddy Brunet was behind new leader Crevier when he left the pits. Crevier was the fastest rider on the track during the second hour, his Yamaha weaving, buckingand sliding JUSt as if Crevier was putting in one of his regular gonzo sprint race efforts. Brunet gOt used to the Interceptor in a hun:y to keep secoond while Clements struggled with handling troubles to wind up third. At the end of the full twO hours, the top three teams had all completM I~~ laps, beating the old mark by two circuits. After losing several laps with their early race crash, Martin/Murphy blazed back up to fourth, completing 129 laps. By comparison, 600 victors Grummett/C1ements completed I~O laps.

Norm Murphy (87) and Steve Crevier (1 01) battle for the lead in the feature race in Shannonville. Canada. David Newsome finished third and fourth, respectively, with times of 5.82 and 6.09. Lou Gerencer nailed down second in the 750cc class with a 5.42-second blast aboard his XR H-D. Yamaha pilot Doyle Disbenneu edged Harley rider Tom Rediser for third with 5.44 seconds; Reiser's time was 5.45. There was less than one second difference in the first 18 places today. Williams was defending 500cc champion, but Rod Riddle's BSA was really cooking this year. He and Williams were tied for the points lead when the Invitational was run August 4. Williams was seriously injured on his first ride there, puncturing a lung and sustaining several broken ribs. He JUSt had six weeks to heal before the next race. Williams is tough and he endured up to six hours of physical therapy each day so he could ride the last three hillclimbs. His first ride at Freemansburg was super but the timer failed. He fell hard on the rerun but came back in the second round to finish fourth. David Newsome held Riddle to second place so Riddle had a two point lead on Williams. But Jefferson belonged to Williams and Riddldinisbedfifth - his lowest finish of the season. Williams had a two ·point lead. Riddle dropped to a sixth-place finish at Oregonia and Williams won the Grand National by seven points. Jim Clark moved up to the 750cc class this season. He held the points lead since the second hillclimb, riding hard all season and never finishing below fourth at the regular hillclimbs. Bike troubles dropped him to a ninth-place finish at the Invitational, but that event didn't count for points. With Earl Bowlby, Jeff Yoder, Tom Reiser and the rest of the 750cc class at his heels, he had to ride hard. Clark had an eight-point lead on Bowlby going into the last race, but that was not a comfortable lead against Bowlby. The lead in this class changed several times and the timer failed on one of Bowlby's attempts. But the veteran BSA pilot finished fifth and Clark won the Grand National title with a 12-point lead. Requirements include a B.A. degree preferred, 3 years motorcycle retail service department management experience and extensive product knowledge.
