"1 never really saw Plessinger all
day," said Andrews of the eventual cunner-up. "It was the fifth lap when Cooper could make it. 1 was 45 seconds ahead
of Plessinger and 1 finished about twice
that far ahead of him."
"1 went out on the last lap determined to catch Plessinger," said Yamaha-mounted Norton. "1 had him in my
sights about halfway through the last
lap but it was hard to make up any
ground with all the lappers out there. I
was within 50 feet of him when he
turned around and saw me. Unfortunately, at the same time \le saw me 1 hit
a rock and careened off a rock and he
got away. The race ended before I
caught up again."
"All of this close racing is good for
the series bu tit's not necessarily good
for my nerves," said Andrews of the
close battle for the championship. "Summers doing bad, today is only going to
make him hungner. Scott Plessinger and
I always seem to do well at the end of
the year. None of us have that big of an
advantage anywhere, so it couId go any
one of three ways."
"1 have to win two of the remaining
races no matter what and I have to
watch what Plessinger and Andrews,"
said Summers of his title chances. "1
don't think that Cooper can win (the
title) anymore after finishing fourth
today."
Blackwell ended up fifth with the
Keegan brothers - 250cc A-class rivals
Brian and Frank - finishing sixth and
seventh,. respectively. Summers, Yamaha-mounted Duane Conner and Pennsylvania's R.J. Bennett rounded out the
top ten overall.
