VANCE WINS FOUR IN A ROW

Terry Vance took the Pro Stock class points lead in both the International Drag Bike Assn. (IDBA) and National Motorcycle Racing Assn. (NMRA) championship series by winning four races in a row with his Suzuki GS 1100 tuned by Byron Hines.

Vance started his streak by winning with NMRA at Baton Rouge, defeating “Superbike Mike” Keyte; then moved on to beat Bob Carpenter at an N MRA event in New Hampshire. Next stop was an IDBA eighth mile race in Louisville, Kentucky, where Vance again defeated Carpenter, and where 1979 IDBA Pro Stock Champion Sid Pogue was defeated in the first round. Vance’s fourth-straight win came in Cincinatti with NMRA, where Vance again defeated Carpenter.
