LODI,
CA, April 25
The Second round of
AHRMA's western regional flat
track series was held at the newly revamped Lodi Cycle Bowl, a fixture
of California dirt track heritage since the early 1950s. Turns one and
two now have a slight banking, and the TT track
no longer runs outside the oval.
Nick Nazzasi
led the Sportsman 250s until
he dropped this bike in turn three on the second lap for a DNF. Ken
Netto's
strong Can-Am assumed first position , which he held to the finish.
Jeff
Lessley and Manny Crummett, on Bultacos, contested second place
all
of the eight lap main. Crummetts outside charge at the flag fell
just short, as Lessley kept second place. Tom Horton sized his
Classic
250 OSSA in practice, but hauled out his Suzuki X-6 twin for the main.
He grabbed the hole shot and held on for the win. A very competitive
Harley
4 stroke single was ridden to second spot by Jerry Bland, with
the
Bultacos of Jeff Lessley and Tom Booth in third and forth.
Sportsman 600
riders again showed some of the best
vintage racing action. Rick Hocking's Astro 360 blasted of the
line
with class favorite Brad Spencer in tow. On the forth lap, Spencer was
able to get under Hocking coming out of two, and held on for the drag
race
down the back straight. Hocking held the pressure on, but was not able
to retake the lead. Dominic Demario on a bored out SL250 Honda finished
third. Spencer also won the new 70's Single class on a TT Yamaha. Mound
House Nevada AHRMA promoter, Greg Gilmore, held second until Paul
Herman
passed him at mid race. Mike Gonzallas and Ron Hinton also passed
Gilmore
on the last lap for third and forth place finishes.
John Proto grabbed
the Sportsman 750 lead from the
green on his Triumph. Unfortunately, he dropped the big twin on the
third
go round and handed the lead to Eric Wrisler. Wrislers glory was
shot lived as Tom Horton blasted past on the next lap for the win.
Horton
also won the Vet +35 class over Ken Netto and Jeff Lessley.
Triumph
rider, Tom Booth, was never headed in the very competitive Senior +50
class.
Ralph Lee kept second over Warren Adams on another beautiful Triumph.
Hank
Cosio brought his BSA home for first in Super Senior +60.
Michelle
Disalvo was not able to overtake
Jesse Sanchez in the Support class main. Lap after lap, she was right
there,
but could not find away around Sanchez, who stayed low and protected
the
lead. Some shuffling occurred behind then, as Dana Perri
got
to third and Scott Whitaker finished forth
