April 26, 1970Bob Grossi won a new CZ 250 this afternoon, the grand prize in CMC North's six race CZ series. Bruce Kelley (Hus ) and Steve F oster ( BuI) were close contenders, but Grossi would have had to make a mistake to give Kelly or Foster a chance - and he didn't. GrossI 's closest competition in 500 Senior came from Brad Lackey. Brad rode h18 North - Bay C Z as hard as he could, but Grossi was consistently out i n front and only machine troubles could have cost him his win. Having no problems with his Husqvarna's, Bob just couldn't be touched. -, whole crowd 18Bobby Noble (CZ), Noble's aggressive, feet-up style is great to watch, and he wins a lot, too. 125 Junior and Sen10r classes ran together this weekend, and the most interesting action seen was the hard r i ding efforts of Steve Foster (BuI) and Rory Muscatell (Am. Ea J. Fosterr had a sUm chance to win the C Z, and Mus catell 18 perhaps the fastest 125 Junior rider in Nor thern Callforma. Both were really getting it on. , Some rain and hall cam e down during the day, but most of the spectators held their ground in the face of the elements. (Results on page 19) GONZALEZ, CALIF .

Bud Key, the f irst year Novice, bested the 100Cc class, as he has yet f ailed to trophy in hillcUmb competition. In the 200Cc Novice class, fi r st time rider Robert Terrell (Yamaha) grabbed off the fir st place gold, but not before a hattle with the flying Bultaco brothers, Robert and Larry Silvia. The 650Cc Novice event was m or e of a race than a climb, Tommy Burnett' s fast 8.93 second run was finally beate n by Ron True, who took a t1rstln the class. At the end of the first hall of the 650Cc Amateur run, Dick Oxford, Jim Thompson and Jim True were all teid for first.
