bring it all home for Yamaha.
ROAD
ATLANTA
GA , April 24-25,1971
Giving away 400cc to the rest of
the field, Kel Carruthers (above),
powered his little 350cc Don
Vesco-tuned Yamaha to victory in
the 125-Mile AMA National at Road
Atlanta. It was Yamaha’s first
AMA National road-race win (Kel’s
Yamaha is the smallest machine
ever to beat the big 4-strokes). For
Kel, it was his second kiss from
Miss Road Atlanta. Because, on
Saturday, he won the 250cc com-
bined Junior/Expert 50-Miler.
(Yamaha took 9 out of the first 10
places.)
And that’s not all. Last year’s top
AMA Novice, Kenny Roberts,
brought home still another victory--.'
Riding his A&A-tuned 250cc
Yamaha, he placed first in the 50-
mile combined Junior/Novice
Lightweight race (all of the first
10 places went to Yamaha).
Indeed, a great weekend for Kel,
Kenny, and the “better machine.”
