The traction in m ost sections was excellent. The most demanding Novice sections were seven and eight which were continuous . There were only three cleans on "seven" and none on section eight. The kids ' favorite was section one, an entry into and across a stream, a tight tum in san d into a mini-forest, and an 180 degree tum in the trees. The consensus of opinion after the meet is that Tolleson will definitely be the one to be at in the Kid 's "A" class and that the Kid 's "B" class will be wide open al though Derreck Bernard has the firs t win. The second of the three rounds to determine the state A and B champions will be held August 24 . This traction he needed to get his usual hole shots. In the first moto , he got some early pressure from Peter Schaffhauser (Hon) until Schaffhauser trashed his gearbox in a fall and ceased to be a threat. Rick Park (Hod) gave chase, but Price's Honda clearly had a horsepower advantage and pulled away. . Next moto saw Price again leading, with Park back in tr affic, so Price ju st stretched out his ' lead while Park eventually worked his way up to sec ond. Price was too far ahead to catch. 125 Beginner Joe Feld (Suz) took ch ar ge o f his class and tied together a pair of quick firsts in the first two motos. In the last moto, Feld missed a berm and dropped back to seve nth while Bill Pinckard (Suz ) made up for lost time by seizin g the lead and stretching it out. Feld was working through traffic the whole moto , and when the checkered rolled around, he h ad gotten back in to seco nd, taking the overall easily. • Res ults in Res ults Section.
