All is nDW well wi th the Yamaha
factory rider an d afte r a third in last
we ek 's ro ad race National at Dallas. th e
cu rre n t point leader in the National
scen e put o n a terrific display o f riding
and co nvinci ngly won th e main even t o n
the very fast San J os e half-mile .
T his ra ce will be th e p relude to the
up coming National in May and if h e can
perform as well then . the lik eabl e
young speedst er will be a shoo-in for
that ra ce.
J im Rice won the fi rs t heat in
convincing fashion that is so typical o f
th is BSA rider. Jim will sw itch to a
Harley -Davidson fo r the National , Of
the four heats, the first was the easiest
with TDm Horton beating out Ron
Powell for second,
In the second h eat. Gary SCDtt and
Don Castro repea ted their R ace of
Champions duel. Scott was th e winner
over the new Yamaha T eam rider.
Ch uck Palmgren brought the A ll
American Racers Yamaha in for the
third heat win over Mert Lawwill and
T e rry Dorsch, wliile Roberts had little
trouble winning the four th over T Dm
Rockwood and Eddie Wirth.
In the Expert Main, it wa s Roberts
all the way with SCDtt ke eping within
distan ce o nly through the first turn .
Roberts turned fast, co nsiste n t times all
through the 15 laps and was a three
second winner with Scott and Cas tro
once again _p erforming their duel. At
diffe rent points Scott would p ull away
Dr Castro drop b ack , but about every
three lap s the distance would close and
bring the fans to their feet. Castro, a
lo cal favorite h ad pulled a good shot on
Scott in the heat but got n ip ped at the
finish line. T he fans were a little
unhappy , b u t the racing was the greatest
and they we re willing to .wait for the
m ain and that battle.
In the J unior class John Gen n ai and
Rick Hocking did their usual and ra ced
h ead to h ead . Gennai took a slight lead
with a win h ere to day with Hocking
taking second.
While Gennai was ne ver head ed in
the 10 lap Main. Hocking gave it his all
on th e la st lap by pushing his
Schwenna jYamah a su pe r deep in th
final tum o nly t o c om e out sidewise an

frame that h ad t o be welded up just
before the heat. Fini shing third w as
