The first to desert Harry were the guys at the gas station. One day Harry mentioned he gets up to 100 miles to a gallon with his new Bridgestone 175 and that tore it. Next to go was Charlie down the block. Charlie owns that big 250cc machine with all the chrome. Last week Harry “buried” him at the stoplight…It pained Harry to lose a few friends until he and his Bridgestone started making a few new ones – like Joanie, Barbara, Sandy, Jean, and Sue.

Heidelberg Raceway, home of the 15-mile AMA national, seems to be the home of broken records. This year was no exception.

Pride of place this month goes to a visitor from Stateside, who came over as the only two-wheeled member of the U.S. Commando Drag Racing team. Some shudder at the thought of drag racing being part of our sport; similarly, others condemn scooters and mini-bikes; but for me, if it has two wheels and an internal combustion engine, it’s worth looking at. First the man. He is E.J. Potter of Ithaca, N.Y….
Photos: Top – Hero of the English drag fans, Potter burns up a strip as only he can. The inverted cup near engine pulley is filled with lead to help balance drive side weight; Middle – Alf Hagon recorded his best run ever on the blown JAP to beat Eejay; Bottom – a pensive Potter.
