The track was fairly glassy for the first running, making the events of the day very exciting. There was some dust problem, however it will probably be overcome in the future. Since the opening of the Willows track was announced at Cycle land Speedway, Chico, Calif. the previous nigh t, many riders stayed overnight to race the following day. Tom VonSeggern on a Honda was the eventual winner of the 60cc Class followed by Greg Michaels and George Swanner both on hotly contending Hondas. Larry Bruckenstein on a Hodaka took the lead in the 90cc class from start to finish really showing his heels to the rest of the pack all the way! Phil Heyrand on a Yamaha was second, with Gene Freize on a Honda pulling in as a fast third. Bob Bagshaw's Bultaco wailed into first in the 125cc to 175cc class chased by Bob Vaughn on a Honda.
