Gunilla and Michael and Pete are on the right
track, looking great and grooving on California's luxe new Ontario
Motor Speedway. An easy ride from Los Angeles, OSM is the only
speedway in the world to handle all four types of major sanctioned
auto racing events--kicks off September 6 with the first California
500; follows up November 21-22 with the first in the World Series
of Drag Racing, the National Hot Rod Association Supernationals;
and rounds out the annual schedule early in '71 with a 500-mile
stock car race and a Grand Prix sportscar road race. Crowd-pleasers,
