lapped riders, and kept their drive for the win
through the pack. Landry held on for his life as
he drove across the fmish line with a just lire
width to spare over Aldana. Mark Thomas
placed third.
Fran Brown was first off the line in the Classic 500/750cc feature aboard his Matchless.
George Wills snatched the lead away on the back
straight but Brown was not to be outdone and
got it back on the very next lap. Meanwhile,
George Richbneyer joined the fun by diving into
second place, and then right under Brown in the
next turn for the lead.
As Rightrneyer enjoyed the air, former Grand
National champion George Roeder cut through
the masses behind him. On the next lap, however, Ro¢er held up his hand and moved off the
field, his 3O-year-<>ld Ken Maely shoe broken in
half. The top three were Richtrneyer, Brown and
Wills. Richtmeyer rode four bikes in separale
classes, and won two of them after mechanical
, problems sidelined him from the otherS.
Duane Veeder led the pack in the 600cc Pre>class main, pursued hotly by Roger Durkee.
Durkee was aiming for Veeder's spot, but Veeder
had a smooth, secure line and could not be shaken. Veeder ~Id his line, despite Durkee pressing
him both high and low, until the last lap. As the
white flag waved them by, Durkee scraped by
Veeder on the front straight. Veeder raged after
Durkee in the half lap that remained, but came
up short by a slim margin at the checker.
