Lacher was more than impressive
as he gave H-D their second Main
Event win in the last three weeks.
The pint sized blaster from San
Diego took the lead away from Dan
Haaby on the second lap and was
out front the rest of the way.
Haaby tried numerous times to
regain the front spot but finally was
out of the running with a dead engine on lap 13.
.
A/CIJT
H·D in Point Lead
. For the first time since anybody
can remember, a H-D rider now has
the Expert point lead. Lacher has
now taken over from the -BSA Wrecking Crew· and leads Tanner by four
points and Haaby 29.
Odom Rons Away
For the second straight week it
was all Jimmy Odom in the Amateur
class as he ran away again on a
Triumph that was red hot for all but
the last two laps of the Final.
Odom turned back Jan Crawford
in the heat race and then built an
early lead in tbe Main Event. Lucky
for him that he did as tbe engine
soured badly with two laps to go
but be still held on to win with distance - again over Crawford.
Smith Annihilates Novices
Like the Expert standings, tbe
Novice class also found a new point
leader. Tbis one also has gone over
the H-D as Dave Smith roared to his
second Main Event win of the season by a wide margin over one time
winner, Rick Ellisarranas.
Former point leader, Rick Woods,
retired early in the race with a
blown piston, running a distant
second.
BSA tuners are beglMlng to think that the Harley-Davidson boys know something they don't
with the Milwaukee twins winning two Mains early In the season. Mel Lacher came up to Ascot
and turned back the best the Brltl sh had to offer.
