If there was any que,tion about the quality of the course in terms of riders' response. the Juniors certainly provided the answer. Since there were only half as many divisions as usual, they were getting in a lot of good riding. Anyone could tell they were having a ball, one reason being that the individual motos were somewhat longer than what they're accustomed too. The track itself was a superb affair, dustless, and the only water it needed was donated by Ma Nature personally one week ago. The only ''bad'' spot was a short section of rough berms - the sort of thing that comprises 60% of other, more popular Gircuits.
