Hoffman wins LodiPro-Am By George Cooper . Lom, CA, JULY 19 Sal Hoffman came to Lodi tonight from his hometown of San Francisco and captured first place in .the Pro-Am ~n event. Finishing a close second was Rob Damron of Morgan Hill. Damron got his revenge later in the evening, however, by finishing first ahead of Hoffman in the Expert final. BoLh riders were extremely smooLh, and relegated class high poimJeader Mark Key to a thir'd place finish. Fast racing was made possible by a wide groove Lhat allowed riders to run three abreast Lhrough the turns. Lodi Motorcycle Club provided the well-prepared track and the fast, professionaJ program. Starter Jerry Curry kept the riders moving tonight and Lhe large number of spectators heered the continuous racing. Among the crowd favorites has to be Lhe Pee Weecla ,and Lhose watching received their money's worLh today as Jeff Gabhan and Casey Yarrow fought tooth and n.ail for Lhe lead spot. In 'Lhe heat it wa Yarrow fir t, but in Lhe main Gabhart came across first, Yarrow second and Johnny Stone third. Making news in Lhe 80cc Novice class was Nathan Wait of Lodi. Wait had never won in this class before, mostly due to poor Starts. But Lhis week was diHerent as the practicing he has been doing really paid off. He holeshot Lhe. start and kept the first place position to the finish. There was no double winner tonight. Tommy Knight took top honors in both 250 and 500cc Junior classes. Knight just recently turned Junior, and appears to be moving towards Expert in a determined fashion. Other racing tonight saw a close finish in the 250cc Novice class. John McGill edged last week's winner Paul Polhemus. Polhemus had to come through traffic and looked to be headed for another win until going wide in turn three, allowin several riders by. Polhemus rnadeanother run for it in thl' rl'mai ling laps b passin~
