The Novice show on Friday night
was also a thriller with BSA-mounted
Jim Peterson coming on strong to
score his second Main Event win on
the Ken Noggle sponsored single.
John Riggen and Chuck Baker
pressed all the way but could not
keep Peterson ou t of the front spot.
Both riders protested Peterson's
machine after the race but the inspection by the officials proved the
machine to be stock. standard - and
legal. _
