BRAD ANDRES SETS NEW AMA
RECORD IN WINNING 100-MILE
SPEEDWAY CHAMPIONSHIP...
The "K’s” were really moving on this warm, Labor Day
weekend at Langhorne Speedway, Pa. They went on a
record-breaking speed spree that saw K-riders streak
to victories in both the Amateur Final and the Nation-
al Championship events — a speed spree that saw
time-trialing K-men smash track records left and right
— a speed spree that saw Brad Andres emerge as one
of the finest young riders of the year — a speed spree
that proved once again, that the Harley-Davidson K’s
have no equal for speed, stamina and top performance
on track or road.
Here’s how they finished: Brad Andres, first and cham-
pion; John Gibson, second; Jim Phillips, third; and
John Hood, fourth — all on Harley-Davidson K’s.
New 100-Mile AMA Record... 1 hr.,4 minutes, 51.216 seconds!
New Track Record (Mile Track)............37.452 seconds!

LLOYD MANN WINS
25-MILE AMATEUR FINAL
Lloyd Mann steamed into the lead at the first
turn and never was headed in winning the
25-Mile Amateur Final. He was challenged
several times during the race, but nobody
had the stuff to take him. Hugh Tyler made
a play for the lead in the first ten laps —
and then faded. Jim Rorrer took on the
job the rest of the race, but had to be con-
tent with a second at the end. Ardell Hale
was third. Keith Stewart, fourth.
Time of 25-Mile Amateur Final . . . 17 minutes
and 57.076 seconds.
