150 riders tackled the first IT of the
season and a brand new course greeted
them. Ten year veteran Eddie Mulder
and his Triumph showed them all the
fast way around itt time trials as Mulder
again showed that he is that fast on any
track.
However, it was rookie Expert Terry
Dorsch pulling the upset of the night
and topping Mulder in the opening
Expert heat race. Guess who was
third...Mark Brelsford in a ride that saw
him trying to the extent his head and
shoulders at one time were hanging far
out over the front wheel!
Twelve year veteran Skip Van
Leeuwen topped Ralph White and
rookie John Hateley in the second heat
and Dusty Coppage got by Tom
Rockwood late in the third and fmal
first round for the white plates.
BRELSFORD TURNS IT ON
Mulder, as expected, jumped into the
lead at the start of the final. Van
Leeuwen was right behind with Coppage
in third. Then Brelsford wen t to work.
Lap four found Mark diving into third
over Dusty.
Next lap the Harley ace nailed Skip
for second place and on lap seven took
the lead away from Mulder. Then Mike
Haney started to move and took over
third from Van Leeuwen on lap nine.
Final laps of the race on the new
sliding course had Haney trying to take
second away from Mulder. But Mark
Williams, who had stopped on the first
lap and later got going over a lap back,
refused to move over for the front
runners and jammed the course,
preven ting Haney from getting by in
time to run to the flag in his bid for
runnerup. Williams ran last the entire
race. Van Leeuwen slowed to only one
cylinder late in the race and dropped to
lOth before the fmish.
The Junior event was a repeat of the
night before. Gary Scott and his
Triumph was again the fastest
combination in time trials and the main
event. Texan Mike Kidd, Yamaha, again
