Gruhn gasses it up at
Road Atlanta Road Race
By Van Funchess
BRAZELlUN. GA. JULY26
Dick Gruhn captured the vieto ry in the Fonnu la
Two-Stroke class of the WERA Vintage races
held at th e Road A tla nta Raceway . G ruhn
w orked his strategy to maintain the lead positio n at the ftnish line over M.nk Morrow and
Jami e Miller , wh o were chasing hard in the best
race action of the day, Moun ted on a Kawasaki
750, Gruhn had the long legs over Morrow and
Miller, both on Yamaha RZ35Os.
Gruhn led the field on the start a nd ma intained his lead d own th e fron t straightaway,
only to have both Morrow and Miller ou tbrake
him in to tum one. "I guess I went into tum one
a little conservatively," Gruhn said. " I was not
too conce rned , because 1 knew that I had motor
on bo th of them. M y p lan wa s to follow through
the back section, letting them battle it out. (and
then) pass on the long stra ight so 1 could lead
across. the finish line."
Morrow and Miller did n ot give up. Lap
three had the lead ers going three ab reast in to
tum one, with Morrow leading up the hill go ing
into turns tw o and three. Now, cou ld Morrow
build enou gh leed th rough the 5- tu rm. to hold
off Gru hn down the straigh t? No - Gru hn again
led down the hill to the start/ finish line . Phase
tw o of Gruhn's plan wa s beginning to unfold.
"I knew tha t we would eventually catch the
Vin tage One bik es which were racin g on the
track at the sa me time," Gruhn said. " I wanted
to lead our group (Morrow and Mille r) through
the Vintage One field so that no one cou ld get a
b rea ka w ay in the traffic. It wa s a good th in g,
too, because the red flag came out on lap fou r,
which ended the race."
Paul Garland high-sided coming out of tu m
seven , which lead s onto the bac k straightaway .
Apparently, Ga rland 's back tire contacted a concre te pat ch in tum seven and lost traction as he
poured on the throttle exitin g the tum. Garland,
mounted on a Yamaha TZ35O,su ffered a broken
collarbo ne.
Gruhn execu ted his plan. earning the do uble
points offered each participant in this event,
" I came out for practice on Friday and had
nothing but bad luck," Gruhn Mid afte r the win.
"l jost two clu tches and was not sure if th e bike
would make it through the wee kend. It just ~
to show you that you never know .-
