Motor-cycle titles resolved

Round four of the fiveround New Zealand Auto Cycle Union motor-cycle road race series saw Roger Freeth, Robert Holden and Brent Jones wheel away with their respective trophies while the side-car duo of Howard Gregory and Tony Price snatched victory from the series leaders, the brother and sister team of Andrew and Anne Krippen, in a memorable race.
The Wellington Kawasaki pair managed only a third to the Gregory/Price team yesterday lost their slender three-Jsoint lead and the title
in one blow. Robert Holden maintained his unbeaten record of wins In the senior production class to sew up the title. The battle for second-place honours, between Bob Toomey, Aaron Slight and Eddie Kattenberg, remains however. The “Flying Doctor*” Roger Freeth, of Auckland, easily wrapped up the Formula One title for the second year in a row. Holden has an 11-point cushion for second over ail ahead of Yamaha's Ken Steadman. And a Christchurch racer, Brent Jones, took his Yamaha TZN 250 to another convincing win to resolve the Formula Two class battle for 1986. Second-place honours will be fought out at the final at Pukcjbhe in April.
