Due to the fact that many riders from this area went to Elsinore G.P. to watch or compete, a small turnout was expected. The course was located by the Aprex Dry lake. It was mostly a sandy terrain which made the course a very demanding one. Another unique feature was the fact that the course was set up in a clover leaf design which made for very good spectator viewing. The first event started promptly at 11. The early lead wen t to Jack Cllivvis who was riding a Sachs. He was followed close by Jack Johnson riding a HOnda 125 for two laps until the Honda broke down which put Chuck Rush in second, riding a Yamaha, followed closely by '70 KAWASAKI TRAIL BOSS, 50 tooth sprocket, excellent condition.
