While accounting for one of the Revell victories, young Lynn Stokey, a Senior/Expert moto warrior (who was taking his first ride for the sponsoring Sun Valley speed establisbmen t, and who was being featured in a special ACE exhibition match of skill) cracked the standing one-lap G len track record by nearly one second! Stokey, ranked as one of the better go-fast guys on the West coast, was straddling a 360 Yamaha for today's effort. The other Revell-tuned win was furnished by Greeves-mounted Danny Burt, an en tran t amongst a large field of 250 Beginners, as be swept to two long-yardage triumphs in his three motos. And Burt, a possessor of more than a mere modicum of genuine combat talent, will be a young man to chart in the future! In 100 Junior +4 battle, 10·year old Mike Brown - a former sensation in minibike ranks at the Dunes - scored a victory in two heat races. Robin Gorham, astride one of the new six-speed Monarks, grand-slammed a group of 125 +4 riders.

Add thirty other Experts in the 125 and 500 Expert classes, plus one hundred and eighty Juniors and Intermediates, and you just know it's going to be another evening of fun and frolic with the Looney Lions Fast Cats. AMC Indian Ounes---- _ Greg took top honors for the day with John and Gordon finishing second and third respectively. The 250 Junior gb-around was a run-away with Bill Conroy on a Maico winning all three motos. Bill is a consistent winner at the AMC events and probably has a good chance to be in contention for that Yamaha prize for the three-month series. Koridon Andrew was second on a Maico and Jon Miller took a third with his CZ. Kirk Willis (Hus) won overall in the 500 Junior race.
