Thanks to a hard working track crew
who had been busy since 4:00a.m., Lodi ,
Calif.'s Cycle Bowl turned out to be an
exceptionally fast dirt track instead of
a dust bowl on Apr il 21.
Th lOOcc Novice r iders, first to really
test the well -groomed course, were also
the first to use the new lighting system.
The green "go" light flashed on and
those little screaming machines ripped
off the line. Suzuki carried Alex Jorgenson, 38v of Stockton, on through the
finals to give him awen-deserved first
place.
Ron Long, 33j of sacramento, showed
what the 100cc Amateur class was all
about as he walked away from all his
competition to get a first In hIs last race
before joining the Coast Guard. He used
a little Bridgestone from Rancho Cordova
Cycle Sales to push hi m way out In front
of the pack.
The nexi size class was 200c c, and
Kenny Robe rts led all of his events,
which gave him fi r st place Amate ur gold.
As the bikes got bigger, so did the
track. The east . side of the course was
re - routed up on the far bank and then
brought back by way of a downhUl corner ,
whicb looked more like a ver ti cal switchbac k. That was the place where some of
the riders said that the race was won or
lost. The bIgger bikes put on a good
show sllpplng down and a r 0 u n d that
corner •

Airborne was the style In wh ich Kenneth McK im(44n) used his 250cc Bultaco 10 get the Jump on
#8ge Douglas Kinzer (Suzuki).
