00:0015 Mary, 6 and 7, 10, 4!
00:10How's Attila the Hun treating him?
00:12Sergeant Murdoch?
00:13Yeah.
00:13He's a pussycat.
00:14Oh, come on, man.
00:16The toughest instructor at the Academy.
00:17And the first thing that you will learn is how to obey orders.
00:20Yes, sir!
00:21Mandy, Tammy, and Jill from the Valley.
00:24For sure, for sure!
00:30We're only 16.
01:00We're only 16.
01:30We're only 16.
02:00We're only 16.
02:18Mrs. Cooper, you have to give me my book back.
02:22Please, Mrs. Cooper, what's the problem?
02:35Who's got a problem?
02:38I can't believe it.
02:39A big guy like you losing his ticket book?
02:42Mrs. Cooper, I'm Officer Frank Poncherello at your service, ma'am.
02:57Whatever the problem is, I'm sure that we can solve it.
03:00Now, once you get your taillights fixed, all you have to do is have them inspected by any CHP officer.
03:28Including yourself, Officer Poncherello?
03:30It will be my pleasure, Mrs. Cooper.
03:35Here's my card.
03:38Some officers know how to treat a lady.
03:48You have a nice day, ma'am.
03:51Here he comes.
04:01Let's do it.
04:07Let's do it.
04:08Let's do it.
04:16I could have got that book back, you know.
04:35Oh, sure you could have.
04:37But we both feel pension by then.
04:39Very funny.
04:41Hey, listen, at lunchtime, remind me to give you a few tips
04:44on dealing with the older generation.
04:47You being that close to that age, Ruponch,
04:50I'm sure you can teach me a lot.
05:10Alert to CHP.
05:14Since your courier service has an emergency.
05:27Enjoy, man.
05:28Live.
05:2915, Mary, 6 and 7.
05:31We have a 2-11 silence on a mobile courier
05:33northbound Hollywood Freeway
05:35at Spring Street off-ramp.
05:3615, Mary, 6 and 7.
05:3810-4.
05:3910-4.
05:3910-4.
05:40Have a nice ride.

06:2711, 2.
06:2811, 2.
06:2912, 2.
06:30L.A. 15, Mary's 7. Roll on ambulance and tow trucks.
06:3610-4, Mary's 7.
06:38Okay, all right, easy.
06:40Are you kidding? What happened? What happened, man?
06:43You okay?
06:43I'm fine.
06:43Did you see that? Did you see that?
06:45Yes, yes, relax, sir.
06:46You all right?
06:48Yeah.
06:50Somebody's out about $200,000.
07:00He's going to make his move.
07:30Man, imagine going that fast on a bike without brakes. Fantastic.
07:58All it takes is balance.
08:00Lots of guts.
08:02Give us a break.
08:04Top of his class at the CHP Academy
08:06and competing in a World Speedway Championship.
08:09That's my little brother.
08:10Come on, get these big ones.
08:12Girls, girls, come on.
08:13Great to see you guys.
08:15You too, bros.
08:15You remember my buddy, Ray?
08:17Hi.
08:18Hi.
08:19Keeps me honest out there.
08:21Hey, what were you doing, man? 85?
08:23Are you kidding? That's what the bike weighs.
08:25It was doing 90.
08:28Ray!
08:28Baby, what are you doing here?
08:30I'm on my way to the insurance company.
08:32One of our couriers got held up this morning.
08:34They sent you courier service?
08:36Yeah.
08:37I work there.
08:38We were the first officers on the scene.
08:41Gene, you know my brother Bobby?
08:42His partner, Punch?
08:43Hello.
08:44Hi.
08:46How do you do?
08:47Nice to meet you.
08:48Um, anyway, I thought maybe you'd like to grab a sandwich.
08:51Sure.
08:52Bruce, you want to come with us?
08:54No, thanks.
08:55I've got to get back to the Academy.
08:57Turned into a real straight arrow, isn't it?
08:59What do you expect when you come from a family of cops?
09:04Well, it's nice meeting you guys.
09:06We'll see you later.
09:07Take care.
09:07Bye-bye.
09:10Champ.
09:12Things still going good at old CHPU?
09:14No sweat.
09:15But I'd rather be out there where the action is like you guys.
09:17Hey, there'll be plenty of time for that after you graduate.
09:20Sure.
09:21Hey, I'll walk you guys out, huh?
09:23All right.
09:24Come on.
09:24Go.
09:26How's Attila the Hun treating you?
09:28Sergeant Murdoch?
09:29Yeah.
09:29Punch.
09:29I got him eating out of my hands.
09:31Come on, man.
09:32The toughest instructor at the Academy?
09:34Ah, he's a pussycat.
09:35You just have to know how to handle him.
09:37No thanks, man.
09:38I don't even want to get that close.
09:49You've been caught.
09:51Oh, really?
09:53Now, they are awesome.
09:55Totally.
09:57Tubular to the max.
09:59For sure.
10:00For sure.
10:02Who, uh...
10:03Mandy, Tammy, and Jill from the Valley.
10:06Grossman found him hitchhiking on the freeway.
10:08He called our parents.
10:09I mean, gagged me with a spoon.
10:12I'm just so sure I love your boots.
10:16They're comfortable.
10:18And you're so totally tan.
10:22It runs in our family.
10:23And feast your eyes on that killer hair.
10:27I mean, is it for real?
10:30Only his hairdresser knows for sure.
10:31Well, I mean, that's rad.
10:34Really rad.
10:36It's grody to the max time, girls.
10:38Your parents are here.
10:40And just when it was all starting to happen.
10:44See ya.
10:45But not on the freeway, okay?
10:47For sure.
10:48For sure.
10:51Oh, and Guthrie wants to see you two in his office right away.
10:54Now, that's really gagged me with a spoon time.
11:04All right, Gus.
11:07Oh, Gus, you know Frank.
11:08Hey, sure do.
11:10And his new partner, Bobby Nelson.
11:12How are they treating you?
11:13Like a member of the family.
11:14As bad as that, huh?
11:15I was a highway patrolman myself until I took an early retirement.
11:20Thanks for stopping the shotgun blast with his leg.
11:22Listen, if you ever want to know when it's going to ring, give me a call.
11:26Gus, on the courier service that was hit this morning.
11:30Second time in two weeks, wasn't it, Gus?
11:32Yeah.
11:33LAPD have any leads?
11:34Just that it was two men who sure know how to ride.
11:38All right.
12:08All right.
12:38That was very good, Nelson.
12:47Very impressive for a motocross racer or a stunt biker,
12:51but not, I repeat, not for a CHP officer.
12:56Sergeant Murdoch, you know, if it's one thing that I can do well,
13:01maybe better than anybody else in this academy, is ride a bike.
13:05So why do you make me take all the extra practice on it?
13:08Because you don't seem to understand the difference between riding and grandstanding.
13:13And grandstanding, Nelson, would get you killed when you hit those streets.
13:17But, Sarge, I risk getting killed every time I race.
13:20This is not a race. The object here is not to win,
13:24but to become the best CHP officer you can possibly be.
13:29That is what you want, isn't it, Nelson? To be a CHP officer?
13:34Well?
13:36Yes.
13:37Yes. It's that's what I want.
13:40You are, sure?
13:42Yes, sir.
13:44All right!
13:53Let's see you join the others and learn to ride like one.
13:57Like, I mean, for sure, you know?
14:10Like, I mean, for sure, you know?
14:24Maybe I should just forget it for a day.
14:29I don't want to ride like one.
14:30I don't want to.
14:31I don't want to.
14:32What does the cars need to do?
14:33What's your face, Mandy?
14:34Let's all even think Brody's.
14:35You're so right, Jill.
14:36Brody, normally two now.
14:37Here comes one now.
14:38See you.
14:39See you.
14:40Tell your way.
14:41All right.
14:42Hi.
14:43Hi.
14:44Hi.
14:45Hi.
14:46So, where are you girls going?
14:59I'm so sure.
15:00Anywhere you are.
15:01He's so macho, don't you see?
15:02Woo!
15:03Macho?
15:04But bag the sound before I barf out.
15:06Oh, really?
15:07It's like, look to the max.
15:08Brody to the max?
15:09Hey, you girls talk funny.
15:10I'm sure maybe to you.
15:11Now that's really more wicked.
15:12Hey, hey, don't get lipstick on this shirt.
15:14It's like fly this thing around his neck.
15:26It's like no clothes.
15:27Okay, okay.
15:29I'm sure, maybe to you.
15:30Now that's extraordinarily more wicked.
15:32Hey, hey.
15:33Don't get lipstick on this shirt.
15:34I'm like, no clothes.
15:36Okay, okay.
15:37You can get lipstick on my shirt.
15:39I'll get another one on my way home.
15:40Pull over.
15:43Beastie 2, you're in the way.
16:02Please don't shoot.
16:03Please don't shoot.
16:04Here, here, take my wallet and my money.
16:07And I take my watch, too, huh?
16:09Ew, really?
16:10You can't buy super gorgeous clothes and shoes with a watch.
16:16See you around.
16:17I'm like, don't call the cops.
16:19I mean, really, what would wifey say about the way you came on to us?
16:22We're only 16.
16:2516?
16:26And we've got it all on here.
16:30That's okay.
16:31You can get lipstick on my shirt.
16:34Really?
16:35You can't get a spoon.
16:37Mm-hmm.
16:38I'm fine.
16:43It's like the time I've got to see.
16:44Come on, you guys.
16:45Hurry up, girl.
16:46We are.
16:47We are.
16:47We are.
16:48We are.
16:48We are.
16:49Frank Zapp.
16:51For sure.
16:51Mandy, you're so too loud.
16:53You have a stupid water pistol.
16:54I'm so gross.
16:55It's like too gnarly.
16:57Wait.
17:06Darling, you've found me.
17:07Darling, you've found me.
17:09Oh.
17:12Darling, you've found me.
17:14Don't touch me.
17:15No.
17:15What's next?
17:17Come on, Jim.
17:18What?
17:24You all right?
17:26Oh, yes, yes. I'm fine, officer.
17:32May I see your driver's license, please?
17:34My license? Oh, sure. Yes, officer. I have it right here.
17:38Hey, are you okay? Yeah, I'm all right.
17:42I always keep my wallet. My wallet.
17:46I lost my wallet.
17:48You lost your wallet? No, I lost. No, it was stolen.
17:52That's it. It was stolen. My wallet was stolen.
17:55When? When? Just now.
17:58Who stole it? This big guy.
18:01Yeah, I gave him a lift and he stole my wallet.
18:04This really big, big guy. That's for sure.
18:10Big guy.
18:16Each motorcycle is equipped with a radio transmitting signal.
18:20That gives us the approximate location of the couriers at all times.
18:23Who uses your service, Gus?
18:25Uh, jewelry stores to pick up and deliver some of their more valuable merchandise.
18:30Private parties who want their personal jewelry picked up or delivered to their safety deposit boxes.
18:36Is this the computer that, uh, picks the route?
18:40Yes. Gene takes the information from the client, feeds it into the computer and it comes up with the fastest and safest route.
18:47What keeps someone else from punching up the same information?
18:50Oh, this keycard.
18:52It has to be inserted in this slot before the computer will respond.
18:56How many others have cards?
18:58Just one other person. Gene.
19:28What's he trying to prove?
19:35Don't ask me. I'm just glad I'm not out there trying to keep up with him.
19:54Something's wrong.
19:57He's just nervous about the race.
19:59Yeah, sure. I mean, who wouldn't be?
20:07Hey, you were riding like a real winner out there, buddy.
20:09It's easy when you don't have three other bikes in your tail.
20:17I thought cadets weren't allowed to leave the academy at night.
20:20Yeah, that's right.
20:21But they let you come and go as you please?
20:23Yeah, well, as long as I get in before midnight or else I turn into a pumpkin.
20:32Catch you later.
20:33All right.
20:35You see, now what did I tell you?
20:37Ray...
20:38Beautiful.
20:39But...
20:40Will you stop worrying about him?
20:41It's just that...
20:42Well, something...
20:43Come on, let me take you for a ride around the track.
20:44But...
20:45Come on, we'll have some fun.
20:46But what am I gonna do with this?
20:47Put up my locker.
20:54See?
20:55No sweat.
21:01Come on, I'll take you for a little spin around the track.
21:17All right.
21:18Come on, let me get down the track.
21:19Yes.
21:32Come get...
21:34Good...
21:35Yeah.
21:36Awesome.
21:37And there's nocÃa.
21:40Good...
21:40Cool.
21:42Seems like I had rest than what reached the Optimist 850.
21:45All right, what is it?
22:10Come on, I'm your partner, remember?
22:13That's sort of like being married.
22:15Without having to send flowers?
22:18It's Bruce.
22:20Well, what about him?
22:22I talked to Gene this morning about the robbery follow-ups.
22:26She saw Bruce practicing last night at the stadium.
22:30So?
22:30So he doesn't have permission to leave the academy at night.
22:34Well, maybe they changed their minds, man, because of his good grades.
22:38Suppose he just took off and didn't tell anyone.
22:40Let's do it, Ray.
22:45Your move, Mel.
22:46Call CHP.
23:05Be cool, man, and live.
23:10All available units in the vicinity of Barham Street exit on the northbound Hollywood freeway.
23:23We have a 211 silent on a mobile courier.
23:26Hey, that's right up ahead.
23:27LA, 15, Mary, 6 and 7.
23:29We're close by and responding.
23:30Well, bad for a day's work.
23:46Thanks a lot, buddy.
24:47We'd better make our move, Ray.
24:49Yeah, let's do it.
25:48Gus was right about one thing.
25:50I sure know how to ride.
25:52Just like pros.
25:52What kind of car does he run in this house drive?
26:04A 78 van.
26:06This exhaust smoke isn't from a 78 van.
26:09How do you know?
26:10The color.
26:11It's got too much gray in it.
26:13Nitro methane.
26:16Racing fuel.
26:17It's no wonder they left you guys like you were glued to the pavement.
26:20Hey, Bruce.
26:21Look at these.
26:24Bike treads.
26:25You see this crosshatch pattern?
26:27Yeah.
26:27It's the rear tire.
26:28And this rib pattern's a front tire.
26:32Racing tires?
26:33High speed, Ponch.
26:34That'll make them any faster.
26:37Now, here's what we do.
26:38We're checking all the area for the bike shops and carry racing equipment.
26:41Hey, hold a minute.
26:42What's this we?
26:43The only we around here is me and your brother.
26:45We promised we were going to get you back to the academy in an hour.
26:48Well, this is where I belong.
26:49Out here.
26:50With you guys.
26:51Hey, buddy.
26:52I know.
26:53I know.
26:54I've got to learn how to walk before I ride the freeways.
26:57You got it.
26:59Hey, Bruce.
27:00You haven't been having any trouble with the academy, have you?
27:02Trouble?
27:03Me?
27:04Wouldn't you be the first to know?
27:13It does a chip off the old chip.
27:17It does a chip off the old chip.
27:47I couldn't hit the side of a mountain with a 12-gauge shotgun.
28:02Relax, buddy.
28:03You're just not breathing right.
28:04I breathe in and out just like anyone else.
28:07That's not what I mean.
28:09Line the sights up with a target.
28:12Got it?
28:12Yeah.
28:13Take a regular breath and hold it.
28:16Squeeze the trigger nice and slowly.
28:21I did it.
28:23I actually hit the little man.
28:25You're a real sharpshooter.
28:26You two forgot there's no talking on this firing line?
28:31Well, look, Sergeant Murdock, I mean, thanks to Bruce, I hit the target right smack in the center.
28:37Motorcycle riding, target shooting.
28:40It seems the only thing that you're not expert in, Nelson, is obeying orders.
28:46Sorry, sir.
28:47I was just trying to help.
28:48That's not what you're here for.
28:49You are at the academy to learn, not to teach.
28:52And the first thing that you will learn is how to obey orders.
28:56Do you see that sign?
28:57It's there for a reason.
28:59Maybe you don't agree with that reason.
29:01Maybe you don't even understand it.
29:03But one thing is for sure, you will obey it.
29:07Is that clear?
29:09Is that clear?
29:11Yes, sir.
29:13Continue the firing.
29:19Nelson, which way do you point your weapon when you are on the firing line?
29:25Down range.
29:25That's right, down range at all times, even when you are loading it.
29:30Sorry, I just wasn't thinking, sir.
29:31That's your problem, Nelson.
29:32When it comes to this academy, you seldom think.
29:36In fact, sometimes I wonder why you're here.
29:40You know something, Sarge?
29:42I was wondering the same thing myself.
29:52Hang in there, buddy.
29:53It's all in the breathing.
30:02We're positive that thieves are professional bikers.
30:16The question now is, how do they get the information?
30:19Are you accusing Gina of being mixed up in this?
30:22We think she's being used.
30:23By that motorcycle racer she goes with?
30:25Yes.
30:27If he's got a hold of her card, he can know the courier routes for the entire week.
30:32When's the next delivery?
30:36Less than two hours.
30:37Frank?
30:40Frank?
30:43But I already gave you the thieves' description.
30:45Mr. Parson, in the past two weeks, there have been three robberies on that same stretch of highwood.
30:50And each victim has given us a totally different description of the robber.
30:54But yours was the most confusing, so we'd like to hear it again.
30:58Yeah.
30:59Well, he was tall.
31:01What color hair did he have?
31:03Brown.
31:03Light or dark?
31:05I like his.
31:07Light, almost blonde?
31:08Yeah.
31:08What was he wearing?
31:09A leather jacket.
31:13A sweatshirt?
31:14How about a turtleneck sweater?
31:16Right, yes, that's it.
31:17Wrong, you said he was wearing a checkered sport coat.
31:19And he had dark brown hair.
31:20Why don't you tell us the truth?
31:23You do want the thief caught.
31:24Yeah.
31:29Well, will this be confidential?
31:32We'll do our best, Mr. Parson, we promise.
31:37Well, he wasn't a big guy at all.
31:40He was a little girl.
31:41Three little girls, to be exact.
31:44Just 16.
31:46He wore wacky clothes and a lot of makeup and had weird things to say, like,
31:51Oh, really?
31:53You're real grody to the max.
31:55Mandy, Tammy, and Jill.
31:57The valley girls.
32:00Valley, valley, valley, valley girl.
32:05Here's another.
32:11He's sobbing.
32:13Oh, really, Mandy?
32:15Oh, my God.
32:19Oh, my God.
32:21All right.
32:23Nice.
32:24It's totally fine.
32:26I'll bet it is out out there.
32:29You girls going far?
32:31For sure.
32:32We have to bag the sound before I barf the girl.
32:35Hey.
32:37I like that music.
32:39Well, we sure can't ride with you, so why don't you just bag your face and pull over?
32:47Girls, your name is Ernie.
32:51What about?
32:52And guns are my hobby.
32:54Even water guns.
32:58You girls are going to have a little fun, huh?
33:02All right.
33:03All right.
33:03You're going to be in so much trouble if you don't let us out right now.
33:21I hope you realize we're only 16.
33:24Well, honey, you're going to be a whole lot older by the time I finish with you.
33:29Help!
33:30Help!
33:30We're being kidnapped!
33:31Help!
33:32Help!
33:32Take it out, girls!
33:58Help!
33:58Help!
33:59Help!
33:59Help!
34:00Help!
34:00Help!
34:01Help!
34:02Help!
34:03Help!
34:03We'll find them.
34:06All right.
34:08All right, girls.
34:09That's going to stop on version now.
34:16All units in the vicinity of the Venture Freeway eastbound between White Oak and Balboa.
34:2115 mary 10.
34:22Request for assistance.
34:244-9-6-7.
34:25We're on the way.
34:30Oh!
34:30Carol's nothing stops old Ernie.
34:38Well, Paul must stop it.
34:50He was trying to kidnap us.
34:53He was trying to kidnap us.
34:56I didn't let them pull a gun on me.
34:58A water gun like too much.
35:00Look, I thought I'd teach them a lesson.
35:02You know, give them a little skit.
35:03Okay.
35:04Everybody get a chance to tell it to the judge.
35:07Put your hands on your head.
35:08Hey, I'm a taxpayer.
35:09You're also under arrest.
35:12I'm afraid you girls are gonna have to share one.
35:15Oh, Roy, this is Grotter to the Max.
35:19Good evening, and welcome to the Los Angeles Coliseum.
35:22For the first time ever, the world championship of Speedway
35:25will be held here in the United States tonight.
35:27And we've got racers coming in from Denmark and Poland and Czechoslovakia,
35:31and three representatives from the United States alone
35:34in what has to be the most prestigious event in Speedway motorcycle racing.
35:38We'd like to remind you to be sure and get to your seats early,
35:42because we've got a total of 20 different races to throw at you tonight,
35:45and I think you're gonna enjoy every one of them.
35:48which ain't było.
35:49This thing's running like a lawn mower, won't pull out the corners.
35:50Yep, gotta be in the carburetion.
35:51I'm gonna have to tear this carburetor down.
35:52Well, look, the race starts in an hour.
35:54Then, will you move your you-know-what?
36:09Let me get to work?
36:11Work?
36:25Hey, big brother.
36:26Come to wish me luck?
36:29Why didn't you tell me, Bruce?
36:32Tell you what?
36:33Cut the tap dance.
36:34I don't have much time.
36:36I took the Sergeant Murdock.
36:38He told me you quit the academy.
36:40What else did he tell you?
36:41That your grades are going down the tubes.
36:45Bruce, I thought you wanted to be an officer.
36:47Yeah, I thought so too, Bobby.
36:48Then why'd you quit?
36:52Maybe because I wanted for the wrong reason.
36:55What do you mean?
36:57Maybe because I thought that's what's expected of me.
37:04I guess Dad and I kind of took it for granted.
37:08Yeah, but Bobby, that's not good enough.
37:10I've got to want it for myself.
37:13Or else it doesn't mean anything.
37:15You can understand that, can't you?
37:20Yes, I understand.
37:23Where are you going?
37:26We think we got a lead on the Curry robbers.
37:29It's Ray, isn't it?
37:31Come on, Bobby.
37:32Your mom didn't raise any dumb kids, remember?
37:35I'll try to make it back for the race.
37:39I'm going with you.
37:40No way.
37:41He's been using me, and I've got a score to settle.
37:44Let's go.
37:55Yeah.
37:56Yeah.
37:57Yeah.
38:29It's a set-up, Ray.
38:32Let's get out of here, Mel.
38:59All right, Mel, let's go.
39:24Put your hands behind your head.
39:34Why, Ray?
39:36I thought we were friends.
39:39I thought we're wrong.
39:41Friend.
39:42Let's go.
39:43The part they don't teach at the academy, Bruce, is sometimes doing the right thing hurts
39:54the most.
39:56Thanks, Ponch.
39:57I appreciate that.
40:00But I think I learned a little too late.
40:02Hey, it's never too late, pal.
40:05Don't you have a race to run?
40:06From all over the world, they've come to ride this one-night world championship.
40:16And I think from all over the world, they've come to watch it, too, as the grandstands
40:20have filled up now with a whole bunch of unique people.
40:22Get ready to watch the world championship.
40:24We've got some of the best riders, Peter Collins from England, Mikhail Storostin from the Soviet
40:29Union, Jan Anderson from Sweden, Eddie Jankars from Poland, Kenny Carter from England, George
40:34Hack from West Germany, Phil Crump from Australia.
40:37They're from everywhere.
40:38And so are the reporters that are covering it.
40:41The eyes and ears of the world are focused on the L.A. Coliseum tonight.
40:45For the United States, there's not only Dennis Sigalos and Kelly Moran, but young Bruce
40:49Nelson, who's a student at the California Highway Patrol Academy.
40:53And Nelson says if he wins this one, he's going to quit Speedway and become a California
40:57Highway Patrolman full-time.
41:02You really think this is going to help?
41:04It's worth a try.
41:09The starting gate now up, and they're off from the starting line.
41:12Look at them as they go sailing down into the first corner.
41:15The leader at this moment, George Hack, the West German.
41:18And it looks like Bruce Nelson got squeezed back through to third place, behind Ed Jankars
41:22from Poland.
41:23He's starting to work on Jankars because third place is not going to get him the world championship.
41:27Here he is making a move on him now, and it holds up for him.
41:32It looks like it's going to be Nelson in the second place spot, but second is still not
41:35enough.
41:36George Hack, the West German, is on a roll at the moment, and Bruce Nelson, the Southern
41:40California, trying to reel him in.
41:42One lap to go when they come down this time, and it looks like Nelson has gotten by Hack.
41:46Nelson is by Hack as the last lap flag waves.
41:49And here comes Hack, right back on Nelson.
41:52The German won't let him go.
41:53Final corner as they come off of it, going for the three points for the win.
41:57It looks like it's going to be Bruce Nelson in the California.
42:00Second place will be George Hack, and Nelson scores another big one on his way to the world
42:05championship tonight.
42:06What a race that was.
42:10Officers, Pontrella on Nelson.
42:18Allowed through the pit gate comes our next ride for the evening.
42:21And in this one, from Denmark, we've got Hans Nielsen.
42:24From England, Les Collins.
42:26From Finland, Kai Nimi.
42:28And representing the United States of America, Bruce Nelson.
42:30They push start the 14 and a half to one compression ratio bikes to life, and we're about ready
42:35to bring this one to the starting line.
42:41Okay, gentlemen, you have the right to speak in behalf of Cadet Nelson, but frankly, this
42:46seems like a fairly open and shut case.
42:49Cadet Nelson quit the academy of his own choosing.
42:54What else can be said?
42:56One of the key rides on the night's program.
42:58And as we look down at the starting gate, it is Nelson on the far outside.
43:02Tough position to start from.
43:03The number four, they're off.
43:04And as they go down into turn number one, number 15, Les Collins put on a beautiful start.
43:10Collins, a 24-year-old Englishman, and his first ever appearance in a world final is in
43:14front at the moment.
43:15Right behind him, Bruce Nelson.
43:16And behind him, Kai Nimi, the finish rider.
43:19Off in the corner now.
43:20And it is going to be Collins dropping the second out in front.
43:23It's Bruce Nelson.
43:24Captain, I know Bruce's grades have slipped, and that he hasn't been trying as hard as
43:29he should, and that there's no excuse for disobeying academy rules.
43:35But I also know, sir, that he's a fine young man, and has all the abilities of becoming
43:40an outstanding CHP officer.
43:42The battle between Collins and Nelson rages on.
43:47It's Collins in front at the moment.
43:49Nelson right there with him.
43:50Wheel to wheel.
43:51It's Nelson on the inside.
43:52Collins on the outside.
43:53Down and back straightaway.
43:54It's Collins again.
43:55It's Nelson again.
43:56You can't find a better race than this one.
43:58It's Collins in front of it as they come down to the corner.
44:01And on the outside, Nelson trying it.
44:02Checkered flag is out and waving.
44:04Let's see who gets there.
44:06At the line, it is Collins for the win.
44:08And Collins picks up the three key points for the world championship, and Nelson only two.
44:13Do you have anything to add, Nelson?
44:15Only that I've known Bruce his whole life.
44:18And I believe in him 100%.
44:19Of course, you're not prejudiced.
44:24Yes, I am, sir.
44:29How do you feel about this, Sergeant Murdoch?
44:38Out of the pit gate, they come now in what has to be the most pivotal event of the night.
44:49In this one, we've got Mikhail Starostin, the young Russian.
44:53We've got Jerry Stenzel and Vaklav Werner, the two Czechoslovakians,
44:57who are going to try their best to hold back the young American, number 13, Bruce Nelson.
45:02Nelson has got a chance to wrap up the whole world championship right here.
45:07But it takes a win.
45:09Second place is not good enough.
45:11And as we set him into the starting gate right now,
45:13the whole stadium begins to feel the pressure.
45:16Nelson, it's all on his back.
45:18Watching closely.
45:19They're gone.
45:20The gate is up, and there is a tremendous start.
45:22Right here's Nelson.
45:23Nelson has got a bike length on the field at the moment,
45:26but he's way outside.
45:28Way outside and running well.
45:30Nelson, putting the heat.
45:31Bruce!
45:32Bruce!
45:32Bruce!
45:33Bruce!
45:33Bruce!
45:33Bruce!
45:34Bruce!
45:34Bruce needs his race to win.
45:37He did.
45:38The gate is unable to close up against him,
45:41and it is Nelson, jacking the rook over his shoulder every once in a while
45:45as Jerry Stenzel moves up to the ground running right now.
45:48Nelson, feel it.
45:50Go, brother, you can do it!
45:52Everything go wrong with the bike.
45:54You know it's not going to last, but just those two more laps,
45:57the world championship on the line.
45:59It couldn't be anymore on the line right now.
46:03Nelson, out in front of it.
46:04Behind him as he looks once again is the young Checo Savanti and Stenzel.
46:08Here he comes sailing around, and definitely on that beautiful inside line.
46:13Nelson may well be wrapping it all up right about now.
46:16Watching as Stenzel goes off the good line,
46:19it gives Nelson a couple of more bike lengths right there.
46:22Bike lengths that he needed, but Stenzel won't quit.
46:24The Checo keeps coming back at him, coming back at him,
46:28and still Nelson bending it all right now
46:30as they go down the line, and Stenzel won't quit.
46:33He plays some time behind the noose.
46:35The world champion, Bruce Nelson.
46:44The scoreboard couldn't say it any better.
46:47Congratulations, Bruce.
46:48Bruce Nelson, the new Speedway world champion.
46:51Kathy told me you went to see the commanding officer of the academy today.
47:18Yeah, we are giving up a shot.
47:23Murdoch buried me, didn't he?
47:25Uh-uh.
47:26Murdoch convinced him to give you another chance.
47:30You, he wants back.
47:32Fact is, he's looking forward to it.
47:36All right.
47:37Yay!
47:37Yay!
47:42Yay!
47:43Yay!
47:44Yay!
47:46The world champion of Speedway.
47:48Bruce Nelson.
47:49Bruce Nelson.
47:49Hooray!
47:50Hooray!
47:50Yeah, all right!
47:51Yeah, all right!
47:54All right!
47:55All right!
48:18Good-bye!
48:23Yeah, all right!
48:25Yay!
48:26I'm proof of Irish music being played!
48:28I'm just kidding!
48:29Oh, oh, oh!
48:29And I'm good!
48:30Aw, oh, oh, my trzy!
48:35I'm all right!
48:40Hey, my dynamic!
48:40Tony!
48:40He's rich!
48:41Joe!
48:42He's a vicious member!
48:44Hey, look.
48:44How are you?
48:45Give me one more...
48:46Throw him, James says ...
