The withdrawal of Yamaha's dirt
track/road racing effort from
Camel Pro Series racing has left
Corky Keener without a job. Keener
worked the 1982 season as a
member of the crew that was managed by Bud Aksland. "I'm back in
retirement," said Keener about his
current job status. "1 enjoyed doing
the Nationals, but I found I really
didn't like traveling that much anymore. I've moved back to Denver,
where I have a house, and sooner
or later I'll begin thinking about
something else to do. Right now,
I'll relax awhile."
The California Racing Club has announced their 1983 schedule and fees
for their family enduros. The '83 season will kick off with the Frosty

$20 per event except for the Gringo;

Multi-time World Champion Anton
Mang, who was left without a ride
when Kawasaki announced recently
that they were pulling out of GP road
racing, has signed with England's
HB Suzuki. The '82 350cc World
Champion will campaign an RG500
in the 500 GPs in '83. Meanwhile,
Randy Mamola is back in California
after testing the new Suzuki Gamma
500 in japan. "In the three years I
have been riding for Suzuki," said
Mamola, "it was the best winter test
session we have ever had. The new
bike was a second a lap quicker than
the '82 machine." The new slim-line
Gamma reportedly weighs some 20
pounds less than the '82 Suzuki works
bikes. With a reponed weight of
between 235 and 240 pounds, the
biggest weight saving has been accomplished with the frame-the rectangular section aluminum frame weighs a
mere 12~ pounds. The frame's thin
walls can't be bent; instead, bends are
made by cutting and re-welding. The
frame reportedly cracked several times
during the test session and will most
certainly be beefed up before the start
of the '83 GP season.
The National Motorcycle Racing
Association's 1983 schedule has
been released, and the full schedule is printed on p, 68. Of note is
that the Pro Comp class will run
along with the Top Fuel bikes at
the NHRA Southern Nationals car
meet in Atlanta, GA, on Apr. 1617, Also, at the NHRA World Finals
at OCIR in Irvine, CA, on Oct. 1516, Pro Stocks will run instead of
Ohio's Team Cowboy has announced
a rather, uuhh, unique contest, what
they call the "Winter 'n' Weight Contest." The lucky person who guesses'
the weight of Team Cowboy's Ray
"Cowboy" Dysle in full racing gear,
just before the start of the Daytona
Superbike ra~e w~ll win s?mething.
