Ron Roneau sweated his Husky over the magazine-style off-cambers all day, and got last pick of the Monarch Distributing contingencies. The demanding track took its toll of bikes and bodies, as only Rod Cowell and Buddy Romano finished in 250 Intermediate, with Romano moving his CZ from fourth to third to second overall. Tom Grant blasted his little Penton ahead of the bigger bikes in the mixed class for the 125 Expert win, but it was Randy Berkeley on the m.ticulously prepared 250 Maico who set the race pace for the three 20-minute motos.

After the world's longest rider's Jeff Black blasted the 125 Novices. meeting (at which many rules abou t pit racing, "Expert" Beginners, and the like were mentioned - and as it turned out, honestly enforced), the minis attacked the fast course.
