- 00 ->:::l ~ Jimmy Ellis fo llowed Marty Sm ith home in both motos. Stappleton, Don Goss, after a hard fall on the hill, finally got going and recaptured enough positions to finish sixth. Tony Wynn's seventh was good enough to vault the friendly Arkansas rider into sixth overall . Smith, with an almost h alf a track advantage (about 53 seconds) , had passed all but the top four finishers o n his way to victory. Michigan riders made the Support class pay with Bultaco rider Robert Rutten sweeping both motos over Yamaha mounted Shane Hruska an d the Montesa of John Deemer. The use of the word pay was intentional as all three riders were post entries and the $31 fee tak es a lo t out of the old walle t if you don't finish well . Can -Am riders Ted Foltz and J ack Maye r took the fourth and fifth overall positions. Jim Slife held a short lead in t he opening Support m o t o before Rutten and Hruska zapped by with the pair holding position to the finish and John Deemer co m ing up to take third by the flag. In the second moto Hruska held the lead until Rutter passed hi m in the sta rt /fin ish area as Hruska slowed to get a quick splashing. Again the pair circulated to the flag in position with Ted Foltz, Deemer and Kevin Smith rounding out the top five. • Results 125cc N A T ION A L: 1. Ma rty Smit h ( Hon) 1·1. 2 .
