Rain Halts Sacto ST Main Event By Bill Spencer SACRAMENTO, CAL., May 7, 1971 A steady drizzle held down the 15-lap main event in what mig.ht have been the finest short track ever seen in the area. With all the top riders back from the circuit and many going dry from the rain-out at Cumberland, the competition was fierce. On the pole for what was to be the ill-fated main were A&A's duo of Ken Robens and Jim adorn on Yamahas. Robens with the fast semi and adorn just nipping out AI Kenyon for the other. Next to adorn was Gary Lozano, a new Novice that does very well here and outside of him was rookie Expert Al Kenyon. Rounding out the front row were point leader Bob Scally and BSA rider Jim Rice. The back row consisted of Dick Mann, Dave Hansen, Carlo Lucia, Jeff Hammond, Terry Sage and Russ Powell. All riders for the main took a few slow laps and conferred with Referee Masterson and the decision to stop was given. ]n the semi's, number one was easy for Roberts with a good charge off the line and fast laps while Lozano held his own in second: Scally held off the hard charge by BSA'er Mann for third and in doing so made himself look very shiny. It was a fine ride. Semi 2 was hard fought by Kenyon and adorn with AI getting beat out from underneat at the end. Rice and Hansen held off the two-strokes with beautiful rides on their 250 four bangers. Roberts won the first heat and set fast time for the heats and beat out Rice and Lucia. who barely held off Powell. Scally was a very impressive winner in the second heat holding off adorn and Lozano. He has never looked as good as he has in the past few weeks. A great accomplishment for a seasoned veteran as he is. Kenyon had it all his own way in the third heat riding his Sonny Kenyon racer with ease over Mann and Hansen. The founh heat, a non-paying one consisting of those that didn't get paid in the heat had Novice Ron Landice come up the winner with Steve Pestoni second. Most of the riders will be back next week and in the words of Ken Roberts, "I hope I get to run a main here one of these days."
