AHRMA filled the air of Daytona International Speedway with the sights, sounds, and smells of racing days gone by with a full program of Vintage racing Monday. The schedule started with Pre-1940 machines like Ralph Auer’s 1939 BMW 500. Auer got out front early in the four-lap race, but Alex McLean powered past Auer and into the lead on lap two, and went on to win the race by a healthy margin thanks to the top speed advantage of his Norton 500. The new AHRMA Derbi Cup made its debut at Daytona, with Motorcyclist Editor Mitch Boehm winning. John Cronshaw won the Super Mono 2 race on his Manx Norton 500 by over 40 seconds. Cronshaw came from the second wave to take the overall win in front of the Skorpian Cup class won by T. Bruce Brown. In 250cc GP, Jonathan White got out in front with his Ducati 250 and won by over 30 seconds. Behind White, David Fabian took the Formula 125 win on a 1977 Honda. Richard Merhar won the Formula 250 race convincingly after challenger Chuck Davis encountered problems on lap five of six. George Taylor took second on a Yamaha 250. Auer improved on his earlier finish by winning the Class C – Foot-shift category on his BMW. Art Farley won the Class C – Hand-shift class on his 1937 Indian. Jerry Wood turned the fastest laps in the BEARS race, but lost the contest when Steve Maney exloited his power advantage late in the race. Jay Richardson won the 350 GP race on an AJS owned by Gordan Cooper. Jim Struke and Stewart Aitken-Cade battled back and forth in Sound Of Singles – Two Stroke, both on RS125 Hondas. Struke was in the right position coming out of the Chicane on the last lap and won by the narrowest of margins. Wally Schleper took an uncontested Aprilia Cup win. In Battle Of The Twins- Two Stroke, Christopher Spargo took full advantage of his more modern Yamaha TZ250 to win over Tony Smith and David Fabian. Defending 500 Premier Champion Pat Mooney took a flag-to-flag victory, besting a field that included a Barber Motorcycle Museum MV Agusta Triple ridden to fourth place by Chuck Huneycutt. Jerry Wood beat Gary Cotterell in a thrilling Super Mono race. The day ended with the biggest names on the biggest machines takimg to the track in Formula 750.
