MOORPARK, CALIF. Aug. 16, 1970 - It wal DeSoto and CZ's day at Bay
Mare this Sunday, as young Ron DeSoto (pictured leading above) ripped off
, victory in the 250cc Sr. go, while older brother John ended in a tie with Jim
West for overall honors in the SOOCc class. The day started, however, looking for all the world like a benefit for Tim Hari, as the Sachs-Montesa hotshoe grabbed relatively easy first moto victories in the 125cc and 2SOcc
Senior clashes. But, while leading the 500cc Senior go, Hart became entangled with the older DeSoto, high siding a berm, and putting himself out
of the race and his big bike out for the day. Hart came back to win the 2nd
and final 125cc moto, but crashed again in the 250cc go, whi Ie DeSoto Ron, that is - went on to win the event, which coupled with his first moto
second place gave him the overall nod.

back chute and runs across the infield to his partner. Partner takes a ribbon
from fi rst team member and takes the next two laps. Woods and Nutter put
on the most exciting show as they swapped the' lead back and forth whi Ie
