SACRAMENTO, CAL., Feb. 15, 1970First year Expert Dave Aldana put
three inches of tire in front of Dick
(Bugs) Mann, for a win in the 15 lap Main
Event. Aldana and Mann traded the front
spot on almost every lap as the two BSA
riders dazzled a sell-out crowd.
In some laps the lead changed hands
twice. Although the laps times were almost equal on every lap, each rider had
hiwown section of the rough and rippley
mile where he made uptime. Mann was
shifting between third and fourth gear
whUe Aldana stayed in top cog. Aldana
stuck to the inside groove for the most
part but Mann was high and wide. The
two styles had the pair criss crossing
through the turns for the full distance.
Mark Brelsford took the jump with
hard warking Dallas Baker flying through
the pack... Bugs" Mann turned it on going
