Jay Peacock, another CZ'er cashed in for third place money behind the steady Husky pilotry of Ron Miller. The Open Seniors were thrown in with the Juniors. Mike Plunkett throttled his Husky into the first slot. Robin Cerasuelo, a top Canadian motocrosser who recently moved to Oxnard, Calif., showed his style by crossing up over the jumps and squaring off the berms. Robin rode the 250 Sr. and Open Sr. class, and his 250 Bultaco rarely had time to cool because the Open class immediately followed the 250 class.

The second trophy winner was Crosby, who rode his first motocross ever. Crosby hails from Bishop, Calif., an
