Aaron Stevenson rode h is vi n tage Kawasaki
KZ750 to finish well out in front of the competition in both the Vintage 5 and Vintage 6 classes
in the WERA Vintage even t a t North Carolina
Motor 5pet:d way .
Stevenson, turning times in the one-minu te,
five-second range, eas ily domin ated both eve nts,
winning eac h b y ne arly h alf a lap over Sean
Dwyer and his Wood- Rotax 600. Stevenson, who
rides a Ho nda CBR6OOF2 in the modem races,
said tha t he can actua lly go faster on the KZ750.
" I couldn 't get below 1:06s with the F2," said
Slt."Venson, "The front tucked on me twice at that
pace."
Stevenson's KZ750, which first saw the race
track as a privateer superbike in 1981, has seen
extensive modification.
Satu rday's other vinta ge even ts provided
doser racing. Gary Smith, ridin g a Honda 350,
was the surprise winner in Vintage 1. The newcerner to the WERA vintage scene passed earl y
leade r Rixon Brec:kon and then got by William
Mu rar to take the win. Murar was able to hold
off Breckon, and they finished in that orde r. The
Vintage 2 event saw Breckon out in fron t early,
but bad lu ck struck when his Triu mp h los t a
cylinder, forcing him out The battle for second
became the battle for first as Bruce Allen, 1993
National Otampion, and 60-year-old Ted Hut>bard fought each other the entire race. When the
dust settled, Allen had beaten Hubbard to the
line, with Jerry Harman filling out the podium
in th ird . In Vintage 3 action , the favored Rob
Tului e jumped the sta rt on his Norton 750 and
was blu e-fla gged . The time tha t Tu luie lost on
his stop-an d-go penalty gave Michael Eiland the
ad vantage and he took the win on his Yamaha
750.
