Jim Patterson surprised himself by not crashing and won the 500 Novice /Junior over Rod McCollough and Jeff Huggins . LODI, CA. SEPT. 4 ...... This had to be one of Lodi Cycle Bowl's bigge~t (301 riders) nights in years. There was a race at the Salinas airport earlier and Doug Chancler won both 80 and 100 Expert. He did likewise at Lodi . In the 250 Expert Main, "the start told the tale with Kim Jorgenson repairing a broken case to take the lead.over big-brother Alex. Filice kept up good pressure on Alex but couldn't pass. . LODI, CA , SEPT. 5 The 80 Experts lined up for a real biggee and Mark Key came out the big winner over a refurbished · -Bill Arbogast and Greg Brewer. Tracy Hays finished a distant fourth . Doug Chandler got on his 100cc Yamaha monoshocker and promptly took over the point lead he hadn't held in quite some time. Mark Key took a second. Despite problems in the 250 Expert race , ' t he checkered fell to Alex Jorgenson, who took "secon d overall money in the series. The win dropped Filice to third and made Haney the big winner. Mickey Krusemann held the front row for the second spot with Geoff Lowe third in front of Haney and Dave Ryan. . .- The problem came when the starter signalled to three riders in the front row who were over the front line. His first indication were for riders 1·2-4 to go back but when they wouldn't and he went to get them to move , he went for the first three and the third kid hadn't moved. That is what was protested but no outcome on the overall as the race was run . A King of the Hole race saw Kim Jorgensen get an early lead, but he made one mistake and let big brother Alex by and collect the big bucks. • Results in Results Section . . Jorgy and Jimbo smoke Valley short tracks By Ann Carr NEWMAN & OAKDALE , CA , SEPT. 9·10 Although rider participation was down following the four Labor Day races , competition was at a premium ~s D·36 flat trackers indicated they wanted more short trackin' , Alex 'Jorgy" Jorgensen , the master, and Jim 'Jimbo" . Felice, the young veteran at 14 years and already an expert, smoked the ever exciting · 250 Experts in respective main events. Jorgy nailed the start at Newman and · proceeded to run away while Jimbo reciprocated at Pioneer. Only Rusty Davis , with two seconds, and Jeff Haney, with a third and fifth , could · maintain consistency between the two races . In the mini ranks Doug Chandler stretched his hold on mini number one by winning both classes both nights . Some new faces dotted the winner's circle. Jack Barton, of Salinas, picked off ~wo seconds in the 100 Expert main , while Larry Dunnagan -took his first 80 Expert trophy at Oakdale. Novices Jeff Tillery and Randy Lagamarsino swapped 80 Novice wins while Glenn Keema and Shaun Reyna -I beat the juniors. Turlock's Jeff Mason continued to dominate the 125 Novices but received strong challenges from Charles McCleary and Gary Hegwood: Jorgy's Can-Arns commanded the 250 Junior troops, with near-expert Richard Arnaiz the only one to earn a win . Stockton's Gary "Go get 'em" Gallagher rode hard to a second and third while Manteca's Gabe Burrola had three second-place finishes. In the 250 Pro class it was no more of a surprise to see Danny "Magoo" Chandler (KTM) get three wins to be top dog, with Kendall Powers (Yam) taking second overall. Jeff Anselmo (Mai) was the triple crown winner of the Open Pros and Shawn Hybarger (Yam) had the three second places. An apparent crowd pleaser was the Old Timers race. With the Veterans out of the way in a race of their own this time, the "old" guys got a chance to show what they can do. Gene Ke lso (Yam), a Junior, got off the line first and held on to his lead against pressure from the only intermediate rider on the track , John McClure (Yam) . Running third, second junior, all the way was Ray Nelson (Yam). Billy Hilton held down the third junior position, following all the Yamahas on a home made Honzuki (or Suzonda) built and owned , by fourth-place runner Jesse Dean who rode a Yamaha . The second moto was almost a replay of the first at its finish, but with more mixing it up beforehand . This time McClure was fourth overall and Gordon Miller (Tri) took fourth junior. The third moto was the real kicker. After Kelso again got out front, he slid out and Dean and Hilton followed McClure by him. With McClure a safe distance ahead , and obviously planning on keeping it that way, the heavy racing was going on between Dean and Hilton. Those two , in their race for what they thought was second place (neither one knew it was McClure in front of them) swapped places, raced over jumps and around tight turns side by side. Finally Dean got some distance and had a clean first going with the checkered flag in 'sight. But, Dean went down with only about two feet to go before crossing that magic line that proclaims winners. and Hilton and Kelso both went by . -Kelso got the overall win and trophy, with Hilton picking up second. • Results in Results Section.
