Sat- urday, althoug h co ld, was just right for racing. Lyle Dove, the l -l-year-old from Anaheim, had quite a fan club on hand incl ud ing his gra ndpa rents, and he rode 10 the occas ion with a wire- to-wire romp in th eOpen Ama- teur half mile. Dove, who has just moved into thi s divi sion , has picked up a new sponsor in TR Racing 10 go along with Cross Country Cycle and Dove Designs Flowers , and if he repeats hi s performance he will pro- babl y pick up some more. While Dove was seem ingly having an easy lim e of it,Ma ll Stoutenburg, another l -t-year-old was trying 10 gel around vetera n Bah Graves, and it was .Iive laps befor e he found the hole he was looking for and made the pass. Sto u- tenburg came within strikingdistan ce of Dove but time ran out and had to settle for second. Richard Schroeder, who had worked his way up from sixth, go t the edge on Graves as the while n ag came out and closed the door on the Herner rid er 10 come up with the third. T he Open Mon ey half mi le shaped up 10 be a due l between Curtis Can- non and RogerThompson after th eir perfo rma nce in the heal race. A: the drop of the flag, both were off, but after the Iirst lap,Cannon was si lting on the sidel ines with a broken chain wa tching Thompson run away with the race . Dan Kane and Rusty Caira ga ve a good acco unt of themselves but never seriously cha llenged the Norca rid er. Canno n didn't feel too bad as he took the Open Mon ey 'TT after a scare when John Martoch s out of Spokane, WashinglOn, blasted off the lin e and held th e lead for lWO laps before Cannon gOI around him and then held Thompson orr for another two before the pressure gal la him. G iven a l i t t le lim e to get bet ter acq ua inted with the local rid ers,Mal- tochs will be a rid er 10 be reckon ed with. Tornrnv Lvnch out of Bak ersfield had no comperirion on the 'TT but did on the half mi le with Rod Bardy of Fresno and Brian Bar rick of Elsi - nore. Lynch didn't bat an eye as he wen t wire-to-w ire leading Bardy and Barrick in an educa tiona l tour of the half mile ova l. Lynch al so added the 250cc Expert 'TT and half mile 10 his wi nnings. The Dodge Brothers oumumbered th e Pape's Racin g T eam two-to-one Saturda y night, and it was aga in Eddi e Dodge that lead th eway home. Wah Bell gal out behind Eddie and hung in th ere for the di stance while Bart Dodge worked hi s way from sixth place to fini sh th ird, Lenny Rodriguez kept the honor for Pape's Racing with hi s fourth place fin ish . Someone li t Don Meiner's fire as he put on quite a show winni ng the NSOTHG on the 'TT and foll owed that up by lopp ing Bruce Beatty and Richard Schroeder in the Open Ama- teu r Tf. Schroeder gal even on the ha lf mi le where he and Bob Graves dropped Meiner 10 third.
