HIli tackle LocilST By Ann Carr Lom, CA,JUNE 19·20 Lodi's Cycle Bowl hosted its fint of several double-header short tracks scheduled for the next few weeks with M lit D Promotions going the honon Friday night and the Stockton M.C. handling Saturday's chores. Both evenu could have used more racen. but considering the heat and the gamut of activities going on in the area, the fans were treated to a variety of racing and challenges during both. races. _ Former Mini and Sportsman plate holder Joe Knight of Stoeltton piloted his Jim Filice Yamaha around the Jorgy's Can-Am of Bill Arbogast in a pressure paaa to win the 250cc Expert main Friday night. Arbogast had led mOlt of the way while Aaron Hill, aboard the Spinetti's Honda, held a determined Mark Key out of the third payoff spot. Knight tried to double in the 500cc Expen go, but former Mini number one (way, way back) and current road race charger Fred Merkel had other ideas u he borrowed Del Cal1sen's 550 Honda and led wire to wire for the win in an impresaive return to the din. Knight remained second while Key slipped into the third spot this time. In the only other Expert action, Wmltie Freitas blitzed the 85cc Expens with Mike Macedo in second. When Winltie ~ts out front, the neat Iitde Honda IS alniOllt uncatchable these days. Other Mini winnen were Shad Johnson over John Noyer in the combined 8Sec race and Ronnie Knight in the Pee Wee. Brothers Alben and Chris Rudy shared the i50cc Sportsman limelight u each won his respective cu. In the Junior go, Albert came throuJ(h tum four fi.nt as Fred Crabaugh l~ his brakes (Iite~aIly - they fell off) and toea out the holeshotter Dana Dou8fu. Albert took advantage and snared the win over Chris Carr who came from an off-the-track mess in tum four to end up a challenging second. The preceding Novice main had been a bit ramer. Younger brother Chris jumped to the front and grabbed what has been an elusive fint for him over the H-D of Manteca's Doug Grote. In other Sponsman action, Roger Kirk nailed the combined 125-200cc main over Dave Jacuon; Gary Caves edged Jeff Manins in the Heavyweig~t Novice go; and Brian Pedro slipped by buddy Debby Rocha for the Junior Heavy race. Aaron Hill didn't win either of his mains Saturday night, but a second behind David Boyles, who nabbed his second consecutive Saturday 250cc Expert main, gave him three out of four placings for the weekend. Knight Ooe, that is) also placed both mains this evening - third in the 2505 and second in the 500s - to give him three oHour for the tour. Look for these two youngsters to be way up on the D-56 plate list at year's end. Mark Key won the 500cc go tonight after Boyles cannoned his Honda while leading. The wild shuffie behind Mark's McGill Yamaha was reminiscent of the Tavis/Spence/Jorgy battles of old. In other action, a much·improved Greg Gray rebounded from a poor showing Friday to nab his third con· secutive Saturday 250cc Junior main, this time over Randy Fisher. In Novice action, Danny McDonnell snared his fifth main in a row in Saturday competition. Saturdays must agree with some of these guys. Antioch's Gary Caves doubled in the 500cc N.ovice class as Brian ~edro again shpped by Debby Rocha In the Junior gol' n M"Int aCllon. M: L Macedo tri. ...e umphed over new Expen Ted Taylor in the 8Sec main while Dion Clardy aced the Novices, and Mike McDonnell ripped the Junion for his second in a row.
