The Op en Experts wer e the first
b un ch o f guys to get t he privilege
of letting th eir kn obbies tas te th e
firma o n th e gene ro usly wa te red ,
perfectl y graded Saddleb ack t rack
tod ay. T otally de st ro ying the
entire pack in all three mot os was
David Williams (CZ). William s
rar el y co mpetes in the b ig b ike class,
but when he does , he cooks. Jon Miller
(Mail, second pl ace Overall for th e d a y,
and Flo yd Burke Jr. (CZ) , third O verall,
occas ionally got past William s in th e
fir st few laps in on e or tw o o f the m oto s
but afte r that it was simply no co n tes t.
The 25 0 Experts saw one o f A .M.C.'s
more regular Exp erts, Dave Carlson
riding one of the new Bultaco 25 0's, fly
on to tak e the first pl ace purse, but not
before di cing it ou t wi th tw o o the r fast
dudes, Mark Anderson (H us) a nd new
Montesa fa ctory rider, Bo b Messer
(Mon) .
Messer is tryi ng to get ba ck into
shape after a bad crash a while ba ck tha t
kept him o ut of rac ing fo r a co u p le of
m o nt h s. He d id manage to take a
con sisten t third in each m ot o t ho ugh, so
he did su cceed in getting third place
money for hi s efforts.
I t see m s tha t David Williams was no t
sa t isfied w it h taking the firs t p lace Open
Expert m oney toda y. He went an d d id
it to the 125 Experts as we ll. T he only
guy that Williams had to be on his guard
fo r was another Pen t o n rider by the
nam e of Dave Miller , w ho is be ing
spo nsored b y Uncle Donny E ml er 's
Flying Mach in e Factory. In the first
m o to it was Williams who got the hole
shot. so m ethi ng he is notorious fo r.
Right b eh ind h im was Miller, hot in
pu rs uit. Miller gave it all in the hopes of
getting past but h is front ti re looked as
tho ugh it had fall en deeply in love with
Williams' back tir e, con te n t to just stay
th ere a nd dig on th e way sh e moved. He
ac tual ly started -t o get th e m is-shiftin g
blues !
T he ga te d ropped in th e second moto
with Miller in first a nd Williams trailing
in a d ist ant seco nd pl ace. Once again
Williams too k th e lead a nd first place
j ust as in th e th ird and fi nal rnoto. At
th e end of th e d ay William s was first.
Miller second, and J eff Bunn (Ho n )
tak ing third.
