Len Macchiarella, riding a Montesa
VR for Moore and Sons in Santa
·Cruz, was unbeatable in the 250
Senior class at Sand Hill today.
MacchiareUa put down hard charges
from Jim Turner in both motos and out
rode aU other riders on this dusty track.
Macchiarella, who has lately been
experiencing petty bike problems got it
all together today for a very big win.
Turner, riding a Montesa VR for Selby
Motors in Redwood City, tried time and
time again to catch tbe flying
Macchiarella but his charges were in vain
as Len just got it On in both of his
mO'tos. Mike Middleton brought his 250
Maico in for a well fought third.
Ron Huffman got it together in the
125 Senior class. It was sort of a.match
race between him and Mike Amaral
(Suz). Amaral has been the winner
lately on his lightning quick Suzuki. But
today Huffman put his Grand Prix
Cycles Monark in to the lead in bo th and
kept it there for the win.

Graham Speedway
GRAHAM, WASH.,JULY 20
The Don Lipp Memorial Race at
Graham Speedway was held under
cloudy skies with sidehacks and an
exhibition race put on for the
spectators as an added attraction.
With just a handful of Experts (most
being down South for the National at
Ascot), it was still an enjoyable event as
Steve Baker edged Out Roger Stanley to
win the first of the Expert heats. Dick
Wascher won the second heat with Pat
Marinacci second, Jim Patereau won the
Expert Semi with Brown second.
Stanley took a short lived lead in the
Expert Main as Wascher turned on the
gas and took over the lead, stretching it
out. Burres put the pressure on Stanley
for second and took over moving
Stanley back to third. Marinacci, who
wa~ running in fourth, developed engine
problems and, in trying to discover what
the problem was, slid ou t in the
sweeper, putting him out of the race for
the night. Steve Baker also went down
in the first tUTn and retired for the
evening. Wascher maintained his lead to
win with Burres second, and Stanley
third.
Wascher took the honors all the way
as he passed Burres in the Expert
Trophy Dash and went on for the win.
The Expert Exhibition race was run
on the oval, omitting the dogleg.
Leonard took his Yaroaha in to the lead
and gassed it to win with Brown second.
Bob Cooper grabbed the lead in the
Junior Main Event with Charlie Brown
working his way through the pac k to
close the distance between himself and
Cooper and press Cooper all the way,
riding wheel-to-wheel, but never being
able to pass as his engine would go on
one side just as he was about to pass and
lose power. Even wi th a sick engine, it
was close as Brown kept his front wheel
even with Cooper's rear wheel, trying to
make Cooper make that one mistake
that would allow Brown to pass. Cooper
hung on and won with Brown in a very
close second. Allan Mund t moved up
from the back to place third.
It looked like it was going to be
Duane Hendrickson all the way again
tonight as he first won his heat, then the
Nov!ce Trophy Dash and was leading
the NoVice Main Event. But Lady Luck
just wasn't smiling on Hendrickson
tonight, as the same problem that has
plagued him all season, again plagued
him tonight and his engine blew up with
just a few laps to go to finish the Main.
Don Smith from Oregon took over the
lead and held it to win wi th Dirk
Goroski second and Mike Boyes third.
