Crosby takes honours
NZPA Oulton Park, Cheshire Graeme Crosby of New Zealand raced away with the honours at the Oulton Park Bank Holiday motor cycling international when he won both the 500 and Formula One events on a Suzuki. The 27-year-old Crosby, recent winner for the second year in succession of the Formula One World Championship got the better of Britain’s Ron Haslam, his
main rival in the Formula One event, who finished third. Earlier, Crosby had his seventh successive 500 victory in the championship. Haslam won the “street bike” event and also the second-leg of the “super-bike championship.” This leg was marred by an accident in which Britain’s Dave Potter crashed while in the lead on the second leg after winning the first.
