problems. The breathers on his carbs
were spitting gas on hi s re ar tire for the
firs t few laps, an d he almost pitch ed the
machin e aw ay. While Baumann was
searching for traction, McLau ghlin was
catching u p. By the time he got sorted
out, Baumann found that McLaughlin
was firmly glued to him. S teve was
outhraking the Kawasaki an d even
managed to take the lead briefly.
Sure Baumann was riding his back-up
machine, but it was still a factory built
racer. And McLaughlin would have been
riding his back-up bike, too, if he'd had that kind of money ' behind him.
Instead, the Action Fours crew had
spen t all night pulling off the
troublesome fuel injectors and pump
and putting on Webers. So both riders
Steve McLauqhlin even oat ahead of Baumann at one point.

ONTARIO, CAL., Jan. 21, 1973 - It
wasn't a professional event, but today's
AFM club race at Ontario attracted a lot
of the top National road racers who
showed up to sort themselves and their
equipment out.
'
SA T URDAY'S PRACT ICE
There were two of the monstrous
Suzuki water-cooled 750 factory
machines on hand "for the new team
members, Don Emde and Paul Smart.
But Smart was home in bed with the
London flu, and Ernde was going very
slowly, unused to the machine and
plagued by a rear brake that was still
bedding in and giving some
unpredictable response. But Don
allowed as how that was OK because
"I'm notgoing fast enough to use much
brakes."
Art Baumann was on hand with three
factory Kawaskis, two 750's and a 350
single. He was going very fast, but
consumed two engines, leaving only one
750.
Of r-t irn e . local winner Steve
McLaughlin and his teammate Bob
Endicott didn't arrive until late in ' the
afternoon. Steve's Action Fours Honda
750 was tricked out with fuel injectors,
a fuel pump, and a big hand-made su mp.
But it needed sorting out. It kept
throwing fuel pump drive belts, and
from time to time, Steve would walk
over and look longingly at the factory
Suzukis. Bob set to work timing his and
was shortly on the track.
