But those who were put on a spectacular show for the local fans. Because the entry list was light, each class ran four motos, with the exception of the 100cc Novice event which ran two heat races and the 15-lap MaIn Event. Doug Maloney forged his Hodaka to the front early In the 15-lapper . Brad Boyar, also on a Hodaka, was gaining steadily and definitely pressing as he chased Maloney across the finish . Young Bob Silverthorn, ridIng Jim McGulre's hot Reed-Induction Hodaka got off to a poor slart but threaded his way through traffic to capture the th ird place trophy. A three-way fight developed In the 100cc Expert bash and In the final moto. Yamaha-mounted Carl Byers scooted by Yamaha-pilot Earl Rol off to capture fi r s t . J i m Dunn c ouldn' t get his Brldgestone around Ro loff and had to settle for thir d. Gary'Gllmore and Bultaco teamed Mp 10 snatch a lJ'8at third In 500cc 10 Open NovIce and a thIrd In the 250cc Novice. Ride With Big Ones Under Me xican rules riders may ride In a bi gger class, so the 200 cc series of m otos saw lots of lOOCc machines, includIn g the three leaders. J im Dunn, r idin g his Van T e ch Bridgestone had some d1Uic ulty In turni ng bac k diminuti ve Ya maha jockey, Earl Roloff J r. Wayne Hosaka did the tr oops again as he came across with Ihe SOOce to Open Expert wi n even though he could not start In one mete, Rick Ribley riding a Garell1, the only fo ur-stroke machine In the race, looked Impressive In gaini ng third. T he Open Expert c ontes t was dominated by BSA-mounted Wayne Hosaka who captured top hon or s in spite of not being able to slart In one of the motos. Suzuki expert, Don Emde had a good battle go ing wi th a Ti juana favo rite, Carlos lribe, butlrlbe's Husqvarnacame ung lued; He was no t able to run th e final ' moto, gi ving E mde an undisp uted claim to second . Bultaco pilot, Gary Gilmor e showed what was pe r haps the m ost improved r id in g abillty of any of th e yo ung riders by defeating Bultaco-mounted R on Bennett and BSA rider Dale Evans to win th e 50 0cc Open Novic e fracas. Randy Cushman In a hotly c ontes ted bout with TMA president Carlos Irlbe and Gary Gilmore managed to eke out a win with hi s Bultaco In the 250Cc Novice. As the day was yet young, referee, Earl Roloff announced two additional sweepstakes races (no entry fe e) , for btkes under and over 25OCc. J im Harmon, r iding Doug Maloney's Hodaka, captured the lightweight contest by defeating Hodaka-mounted Jim Mc Guire and Yamaha-pUot Carl Byers.
