EUROPEANS RETURN Dean Miller (Han) bo ogeyed to t h ird Nov ice . Conro y to o k the checkered flag in MX style. 525 . (Co nroy got S IOO, ~l cEvoy $50 ). First Expe rt was none o ther th an 01' Gus Pau ll [he Tl be 4 3 nex t mo nth) o n his trusty '7 1 Husky . This makes it virtually impossib le for McCasland to cat ch him in t he po in t sta ndings. Fifth was Heath Hibbard (y et ano th er big-bore th ing made by th at Swedish sewing mach in e co mpany). ~IcCasland was in for six th, fo llo wed by John Steen, whose "tired" Elsie carried him to firs t 250. Pro MXer Taylor fin ish ed eigh th , fir st little bi ke. Greene, wh ose Baja had broken a flywh eel on Saturday, brought his borrowed 125 Elsi e in for first sm all-b ore Expert . Stumbo blew the Yammie's upper en d with just a wee k left until Barstow. Ouch. In the 250/0pen Nov ice bash, Pat Ko uri (400 Hus) took the early lead only to be zapped by Dea n Kirk (25 0 Bul). Kirk held the lead until his seat flew off, then had to follow Kouri the rest of the way. Dean Miller (250 Ho n ) t urned in an impressive ride for third despite havi ng to stop at every che ck on the last loop to give checkers his number, due to a lost plate. Eric Spaeth took the early lead agains t the small -bore Novices and held it for the duration. Brett Nound an d John Lawson ran second an d third respe ctivel y. All were pushing Ho ndas. Lawson's bike got quite a workout, since it was the bi ke that carried Dennis Greene to an Expert win : John Gaddis made it a good day all around fo r the Swedish marque , as he took first Open Beginner on his Husky, followed by Rick Wilson o n his 250 Honda. Lee Wilson (J 75 Hus ) was th e wire -to-wire winner against the 0-200 Beginners, wi th Vern Heath (175 Pen ) in for second. Leslie Klu g was firs t Powder Pu ff, as us ual, finish ing fourth overall . Th e nin e-mile circ uit was a pretty interes tin g layou t wi th so me rocky uphills, bumpy down h ill s, et c. But the feature th at will be im bedded in mo st minds (especially Beginners ), was th at steep, sno tty uphill abo u t a mil e past th e bomb. By th e tim e I got th ere , it was abso lute ma yh em, so I we nt past t he mar ked tra il and gassed it up o n th e left side with no probl em. (If only I ha d don e it the second time aro un d !) I twas a thin king m an '5 circui t if ever the re was one. Oh my achi ng bo d. What reall y hurts is that a ten -year-old girl, Kelly Kline, ma de it up the hill and around all three times on h er Honda mini. • Results will appear ne xt week. $20,000 POSTED AWARDS CYCLE WORLD I ER II AL » ,,-t;.
