(Results on page 26) By Bill Spencer SAN JOSE, CAL., May 16, 1971 - Jim Rice extended his lease holding on this mile facility today with another fantastic win to stretch the count to five. Rice (BSA) had his work cut out for him, though, as Cal Rayborn, (H-D) was the first man in to the comer of the 15-lap affair on a rather new looking XR-750 with Rice and Dick Mann (BSA) close behind. On the third go-around Mann went by Jim on the second turn and' exiting tum four Mann got Rayborn. The 3000 spectators were pleased at these preceedings and were not seated from this point. Disappointingly, on the next lap, Mann's rear chain came undone and he was relegated to the pits leaving Rice in full charge. All this time, rookie Al Kenyon (BSA) and' Mark Brelsford (H-D) were having a fearsome duel for 4th with AI getting Mark in the corners only to lose on the straight. This ended sbortly with Kenyon gassing it up and getting by Cal.

The program may be adopted by promoters in an area where the highly-skilled Expert class racers are not in abundance. A Novice and Junior combined meet can be run wherein the minimum .guaran teed prize money shall be $600.00. These meets are designated as ~'Two Star" events in AMA Professional Rule Book terminology. Each additional star indicates an additional $300.00 in prize money. Several promoters are experimenting with the Novice-Junior program this season. Their events are as follows: May 15, Short Track "" Montgomery. Ala, May 29. Short Track , .. ,., Glen Este, Ohio une 12, Short Track . , , , , , , Glen Este. Ohio June 17.

National No. One, Gene Romero (Tri) was giving Al a run on the last two laps but to no avail. Burrito's Triumph performed well all day and the Grand National Champion worked hard for his third. Rayborn held for fourth with Brelsford fifth. The Junior Main sized up as a battle of Scott and Roberts, until the flag dropped. Roberts was on the pole with Scott right next to him. But, from A-Z it was Scott with Roberts second and Carroll Johnson third. Cow Trail YNr NOVICE-JUNIOR I I I I I - - __ --1:. . By Ron Schneiders TUOLUMNE, CAL., May 16, 1971 The Sonora M.C. staged its annual Red Arrow Enduro this Sunday, but it's hard to tell whether the riders or the club had the more difficult time. The club is running into the same sort of hassles that are plaguing many California clubs, namely securing enough good land to stage a run. Their winter enduro was cancelled by the Forest Service because in their opin.ion it was "too wet" although the club felt that it was just about right. When it carne time for this enduro, the club jumped right back in and planned a real "toughie." The first blow carne with a set of Forest Service restrIctions that kept them off of the trails and on fire roads for most of the run. The second was that the land belonging to the Pickering Lumber Company, which they had always used in the past was suddenly unavailable because of insurance problems. Riders who called the club were told of the difficulties they were having but it didn't seem to matter to them. The enduro was sold out practically before it was announced. It's getting so that you have to have an uncle in the post office and a brother in the sponsoring club to get an entry in a run these days. The Forest Service's limit on entrIes isn't helping, either. When we got campinF; area, an absolutely beautiful camp just a few miles from Tuolumne, we found yet ,another Forest Service bit. No riding in the camp. Push your bike in and out. Not a bad idea, really, but it should have corne from the club. The weight of the Forest "Service" was beginning to be oppressive. Every area has its own ideas about how an enduro should be run and as far as I can see, no two of them are alike. One of the differences is the amount of information supptied at the start. It seems 10 be almost aa tradition that you will not find out anything about a run beforehand in Northern California events.
