The race course covers about four miles of sandy trails, bumpy dirt roads, slippery down hills and several river crossings. The riders cover this course ~ o ~ w Z W ..J U >- U 15 times for a total of about 50 miles. Jim Breed and Rich Jackson fought it out for first place throughout the entire 251 and over race. Breed on a 360 Montesa finally came out victorious with Jackson (CZ) with a close second, and Ivan Russell third. In the 126 to 250 class, Larry Losey on a CZ was fust at the checkered. There seemed to be some confusion over second, however, but officials fmally held to their original decision of Rich Moon. Bundetta Dettiman was third and Bill Cashman was an undisputed fourth.

The first· group were the Super-Lightweights. Overall first honors went to Danny Davis riding a Sachs. The next group to ride were the Lightweights. Top honors in this Division went to Tony Cook riding a Husky 250, and the last group to ride was the Open class. The Open overall winner was Don Watkins Jr. riding a Montesa.
