NEW YOR K, N.Y., Jan. 25, 1971 -- First-year expert AI Kenyon took command from the start of the main event at Madison Square
GJrden tonight and ran a perfect 20-lapper to win the second Yamaha Silver Cup race of the year wire to wire. Speeding about the
extremely short course, Kenyon (Bul)
was continuously pressured by an error-awaiting Jim Odom (Bul). The error never came
performance. Yamaha power Keith Mashburn took ttiird behind the Northern CJlifornia
and Kenyon pocketed $2740 for his
pair, but had his touch at glory
earlier when he set fastest qualifying time. A sell-out and turn-away crowd of 17,250
in this city since WW II and not a one was denied excitement. Barry Briggs, famed
witnessed the first motorcycle races
other forms of racing, nearly brought the Gardens down from the ovation he
speedway star now attempting
received in his heat race. After
falling, Briggs made a valient attempt to work back up to transfer but barely
missed; the crowd, however, loved it. Bill Goodman
(Bul) took 4th, Mike Yern (Bul) 5th, Jim Fortune
6th, Dave Aldana (BSA) 7th, Darryl Hurst
(ass) 8th, Mark Brelsford (H-D) 9th
and Dave Hansen (Bul) 10th.
Complete results next week.
