AMXT Cap ta in One's Enough f or Bruce Baron By Lowell Stolze Photo by Nick i\lusurca EL TORO, CAL., April 14 , 1972 Bruce Baron confined his activities to one class tonight, the 125 In term ed b te/ Exp ert , but it was enough to add another fifty bucks to his bank account as he rode his Penton to wins in all three motos. lie won the firs t two handily over Davey Car lso n (Yam) and the final heat was a cat and m o use affair wi th Tony Duni (Pen) , Carlson, and Baron swapping th e lead. Morris Malone (AJS) bi t off another b ig b it e of the $270 pay-off as he cart ed off hono rs in the 250 In term edi ate/ Expert d ivision . R ichard Du ncan (Ma i) cap tu red second overa ll. A lt hough he locked handleb ars with another rider co ming through the pi t gate and too k a nasty spill o n th e last lap . The 500 Intermediate/Expert class went to Ted Met zger (Suz), who is b ack in acti on after several we eks o ff due to a leg inj ury . T ed won all three races to best .lim Scott (Mai ) and Bill Boo th (Mai}, The first h eat was a thriller as t he same three riders ca me across th e line side b y sid e. Scoll was with out his b ik e as he dumped in a d esperat e effort to . no tc h th e vict ory. Sixt een year o ld Ken " Bo " Sm ith was sen sat io na l in th e 12 5 Junio r (d ivisio n tw o) class and h e ro de a I OOcc Y am ah a to wins in a ll three heat s. It was only th e sixth rid e for Smith and h e loo ks like a good p ro spect. The Division O ne win was a p opular one for Don Glenn (Ya m) and he ca rded a first , seco nd an d third to t urn b ack J oe Turnbau gh (Bul] and Clay Southerland (Ya m) . Glenn probably has as mu ch support as any rider in USMRC as the Anaheim clan makes a lot o f noise and the fact th at he won o n his birthday ad d ed to the jubilation.
