Tom Rapp, "Mr. Bultaco" of Buena
Park, accounted for three straight wins
in the 250 Senior class to take overall
winner at the Indian Dunes motocross.
Though he was led from the starting
line in two heats, once by Mark
Abbatoye, a sensational young rookie
on a Rickman, Rapp was able to pull
away from a formidable field sucb as
Dave Rodgers, Tim Hart Bob Messer,
Mike Runyard, and first-day Senior
Dick Eierstedt.
Eierstedt, by virtue of the fact that
he has won 20 of his last 21 Junior

races, rolled off the starting line in the
first race to be one of the few to hold a
temporary lead over the high-flying
Rapp. Finishers behind Rapp were
Rodgers and Runyard.
Jim West' again sent his Husky in
quest of an Open Senior victory and
that's just what he went home with,
After waging a dirt-kicker with a 'pair of
Maicos belonging to Tim Hart and Gary
Chaplin, West was finally able to gain
long yardage and win all three heats.
Dave Rodgers, also coming from
behind in every heat in the 125 Senior
contest was able to salvage a one-point
squeeker over Don Emler and Eddie
Cole.
