try. Chuck Patterson thrashed his way
to the 250cc Novice checkered on the
Yamaha of Salinas while Mike Cahoon
kept it a good close race on the Cycle
Stop Honda.
Just last weekend, Doug Chandler
was enjoying his fim Sportsman races
as a Novice but after winning seven
out of eight events in TWO races, he was
turned over to the Juniors. The 250cc
Junior claa is quite com~tive in this
district, but it was no big deal for the
Kawasaki of Salinas rider. Chandler
smoked off the entire lot in both his
heat and the main.
Keith Day returned from the Pro
tour and had it fairly easy in the 250cc
Expert after Rick Amaiz pulled off
one of the highest wheel stands one
can get away with leading off the
number TWO corner. With foot back on
the Rar brake, Rick got his Champion
Honda back in shape to take second
over Bill Scott and CunBrooks.
Curt Brooks turned right around
and came back out on an Astro
Bultaco to win the S60cc Expert in
front of Jace Carter. Chandler
returned to easily win the 500cc Junior
over Jack Carter with Franlr. Newman
in for third.
Gerald Spencer kept everything
going in the right direction to win the
500cc Novice and that should be much
more than enough points for him to
tumJunior.
Keitl1 Day was leading the 500cc
Experts when he threw his Kawasaki of
Salinas TT500 into the number four
corner and got higbsided for his
efforts. A rather large berm had
developed and the impact was so hard
that the bike took a 560 degree turn
and landed on him about the time he
put up a hand to deOeet it and the rear
disc Ft quite a cut in his thumb.
RIchard Arnaiz. trying out his
brand new Champion TT500 built the
night before by Mike Macedo,
inherited the win despite a close alter·
cation with TWO downed riden. Danny
Moore took second on the Cal Cycle
Supply/ND sparked
Champion
XR500 and Mike Hayward took his
fint pay check and points home with
third.
