Local favorite John Tavis won both the 500 and 650 Expert classes to catch up a few points on current point leader Dennis Spence. Tavis rode to an easy win in the big bike class on his tricko Triumph and lucked out in the 500 to win big when Spence crashed in his heat. Se cond place runners Sal Hoffman and Greg Ferguson got into their own little battle and eliminated each other. The 300 riders who turned out found an interesting three-quarter mile sc ra m bles utilizing the very fast first half mile comer still in great shape from the National, and a lot of loose. dusty infield which. while not in great shape. made for a good. long day 0 f racing. All the mini classes were allowed to run and Fred Merkel downed Do ug Chandler fo r each of the 80 and 100 Expert runs despite Doug winning the heats. Do ug did get second in each after some tantalizing racing. Marvin Woods ca me o u t of the Sierras to win the 125 Novice Mai;' over Mike Fruzen and Craig Weatherton who are more used to the roundy-round bit. Mitch Da vidson. you ngest of the hero racing family. took the 125 Expert class after a race long duel with Rick Woods and Ken Netto, Two Novices who made Junior mighty quick were 250 Novice Mai n winner Rocky Robinson and Bobby Carrasco. Despite grumblings about their classifications for today they came in as Novices and went o ut as J uniors. Den nis Spe nce managed to save a little face by winning the 25 0 Expert Main ove r J o hn "jo ne s an d Eric Weisler . Spence had II back row for the 5 00 Ex pert heat and was in the proc ess of passing th ro ugh traffic when at the first infield tum he gra bbed too much throttle and got it 180 degrees o ut of ph ase. In trying to save it. he highsided just as AI Posey carne on the scene and wo und up wounded with back scratches and elbow rash. Tavis had that 500 Main pretty much all his own when second running Sal Hoffman and Greg Ferguson got in a pushi ng. shoving match. Each rider d isagreed about who did what to wh om but both wound up on the ground. • Results in Results Section. Bailey another double By W. H. Spencer FREMONT. CAL.• J ULY 14 Boss framed and Yamaha moun ted Don Bailey is making mince meat of both the 250 and 360 Expert classes at Fremont Raceway's Wednesday night short track series. As t he 26 eve nt classic passes the ha lfway m ar k, Bailey lea ds the ove rall high point standings over Rick Delacy. Delacy wound up with two mo re seconds t o Bailey and trails by three points. Continuing wins by minibiker Do ug Chandler and 125 Junior Mike Fruzen keep the two youngsters at least in sight of the two top rated Experts while the rest of the crew lags.
