Grossi led from the gate in moto one
and continued 10 increase his lead with
every lap. The real race was for second
with West and DeFeo dueling it out the
entire first moto. Gary Semics (Hus)
was a steady fourth for the first six laps
until mcchanicals put an end to his race,
moving Gary Ingham (Mai) and Bill
Cook up into the top five.
Jack Penton (KTM) put in his best
ride in the series winning the third
qualifying heat and passing Ingham on
lap ten to take f"tfth for good.

laps and finished eigh th.
In moto two, DeWayne charged right
on the wheel of Grossi and remained
there until lap eight while a
hard-charging Sonny DeFeo waited, in
third, for any mistake. Jim West was
also off the line and worked his way
from eigh th, pulling in to fourth by lap
four and passing DeFeo for third the
nex t time around.
Grossi, Jones and West made a
three-way duel of it for the qext three
laps before West sq ueezed by on lap

varied as the first round with five new

all the problems and Lamppu was a
