Scheduled as a sand scrambles, even the motocross boys came up smiling at the seven lengthy, well presented events. Ken Buckspan, taking a brief respite from his usual desert chores, got the pot simmering in the first race, collecting a chubby victory from the 100cc Am.-Ex. scalplifters. In the same brawl, a win in the 125 class - both were "heap big wampum" fell to a determined Dwane Brown after he took his trusty Penton from the quiver and lobbed a high shot into the first lap bids of a flyer named Alan Peppel.

The OPen A,-Ex. scrambles saw Gene Smith trying every stunt of which his Triumph was capable and after a see-saw type of battle both Rick Shirey and Marty Dahlquist smoked right on past a falling Smith and that's the way it went into the books: Shirey, DAhlquist and Smith. The Open Novice match was such a crash 'em, drop out and drop in affair that this writer is still not certain how it did finish, but one thing for sure it really tossed out the action.
