Local Dan Driskill (CZ) who has been away from the track for a while, took second place with a third and two seconds with 825 points. Nick Warren (Ossa) was third. In the third heat of this moto, the first four riders were quick off the line, and it was a good thing. Fifty yards from the starting line, the remaining riders had one glorious pile up, and it was a miracle that no one was hurt, and all riders were back up by the time the leaders had made it around th e track again. The Open class was the race of the day with the battle of the 400 Maicos between Gary Schaper, Bill LeValley, and Mike Krebs. Krebs won the first heat, Schaper got second and Gene Engberg got third. LeValley lost out on this heat, !raving fallen in a mud hole, but came in fIrst for the second heat, with Krebs second and Enberg third. Schaper lost a chain in this heat, placing way down the line. In the fInal heat, every thing broke loose with everyone battling for first. Krebs had his fair share of troubles, barely missing a tree but knocking a tire hanging from the tree loose, and rolling it along side of him, causing another rider to veer from his regular pathway. LeValley grabbed ftrst and held it to the last lap when Krebs, working his way up, passing him in the closing seconds of the race, taking first for the day. LeValley scored second and Engberg third; fourth went to Schaper. (Results on page 28) ANOTHER NEW AFM CLASS The L.A. Chapter of the American Federation of Motorcyclists has initiated another class.
