ACE CMC fOES the 125 Experts . Tommy Croft made it 1 - 2 for Pentons, picking up the place sp o t ahead of Gary Bevan's Yamaha. Mike Hartwig?, Not familiar? We should remeber that name . Mike was running in the 500 Ex. class on that potent Kawas a k i 400-425-450-490-prototype piston port that Brad Lackey and Bruce Baron have had rides on. In the firstmoto , he just flat smoked the field of 500 Experts , it was no contest The second round was a real show. Stu Peters go t tired of these Experts try ing to ge t a jump o n his flag drop, so he turned fo u r o f th e lads aro und, incl uding Hartwig. Wh en th ey hit th e first water cross, Mike was dead last; Gary Harris was out front and not lookin' back. J ust t hree laps later, Hart wig was in thi rd, just spittin' dis tance behind Mark Nohr in second and Harris in first. He was closing fast when, wham, the chain came off. With eight laps left to go, it really looked like he was gonna make it. Where will this ho t Kawasaki show next? Will Mike Hartw ig be the rider? I don't know but 1 for o ne will really like to see it. R awh id e Par k is new , and of co urse It) they have h ad so me problems , H ow ever, it is nic e t o be ab le to rep ort th at George Johnson is working ful l tim e to correct the problems, as fast as time and mo n ey will allow. George is' the fu ll time manager for Rawhide, and is working his tail off to make Rawhide one of the neat places to ride. The dust p roblem was somewhat improved and there are so lid plans to eliminate it as a problem. The course is a good one. When it ro unds into shape, it will be a great one.
