Scrambles was another thriller with slightly over 200 riders signing up. The big race of the weekend was to be the Archie Clark Memorial at Lodi, Calif., but the rains dampened the spirit and the track and required some fast telephoning to Cycle Hills to keep sign·up open long enough for the nearly three hour drive back to the Bay area. National scrambles champ Jim Foley was the easy winner in the fast and furious 250 Expert Main, coming of[ the back row to work through a hole in the line and drag race the crew to the first tum. John Gennai was next to him in the back row and held down the second spot [or the distance with Steve Foster. working his way through the pack for third. Curren t poin t leader Mike Renslow was eliminated in the heat when be went wide at the bottom of the course and slipped ou t. His an tics while leading were great for the spectator but certainly didn't help him in his quest for the District Number One plate. At the intermission, he was seen doing a rain dance that worked for a few minutes but then the sun came back out and the track was in good shape. San Jose's Nick Nazzisi brought home the brass for the Sonny Kenyon Racing Team with a wire to wire win in the 250 Jr. Main. Randy Miller, a fellow Kenyon racer, held second [or three laps and kept the pack in check but couldn't hold it and wound up third. A stray dog kept Ron Landice from maintaining his domination of the 250 Novice class. With an easy lead set up he was about to start lapping the field when a stray dog ran across the track. Landice struck the animal and miraculously kept the bike under control but lost the lead and the win to Scott Williams. Williams was second at the last run here and the two are now tied for the point lead in the 250 division with Foley. Vic Sloane played a waiting game for the 'start of the 500 Expert run and made it payoff with a win. Too many jump starts kept the starter busy and when the flag finally flew, Sloane and his Selby Mon tesa were on their way. Ivan Shigemasa held second for most of the affair but Larry Frey slipped by near the end and challenged Sloane but to no avail. Henry Sanchez sported a new number in the 650 Junior Main and went on to an easy win over Roy Geddie and cousin Paul Sanchez. . Bill Landsborough jetted into the lead [or the 650 feature event and thoroughly devastated the rest of the pack. Bob Boaz and Steve Hernandez fought it out for second with Boaz getting the honors.
