GORMAN, CA, SEPT. 30-0CT. 1
The Prospectors Motorcycle Club returned to
the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation
Area for their 10th annual California Grand Prix.
The two days of racing brought out over 650
riders and 3500 spectators to' the New Quail
Canyon Motocross Facility. This was round four
of the six-event District 37 Grands Prix series.
The highlight of Saturday's racing was the
team race. Twenty teams lined up for what was
to be a close battle to the finish. The winner of
the previous two California Grands Prix, jimmy
Lewis, teamed with Nevada Rally winner and
factory Honda rider Johnny Campbell. At the
drop of the gate, the big Honda of Lewis and
Campbell team took the lead. The 125cc Suzuki
of john Braash and Craig Schnell was second
with the SOOcc Kawasaki of Paul Krause and Ted
Hunnicutt third. After 17 minutes, the fourstroke of Lewis and Campbell came booming
onto the motocross track with an I8-second lead.
Braash and Schnen were next onto the 1.25-mile
MX course. The motocross specialists of Braash
and Schnell cut nine seconds off the leaders'
margin. Over the next two laps the positions
stayed the same. Coming off the MX course on
lap three the first two teams entered the pils for
the final rider change wheel-to-wheel. The
Honda Team had the advantage of a larger fuel
tank and did not take on fuel as the l2Scc RM of
Braash and Schnell did. This allowed Lewis and
Campbell to stretch out an IS-second lead to the
finish. Krause and Hunnicutt rounded out the
top three.
