According to one city o fficial a tte n ding the competition, about 60 more loads o f sand will be dumped on th e en tir e cou rse allo w ing it to mi x with th e har d cla y th is win ter to give the track a reall y great surface fo r next sp ring a nd summer ev en ts . . The day's eve n ts wer e kicked off by the Mini class and b oth mo tos were won b y Mark Cros s (Yam) . He ran a fine race and was no t d eterred one bi t by the . steep uphills. Finishing sec o n d behind Mark was Harold Page (Ya m). Bry an Adair (Suz) ran two fine back to b ack motos to win th e 125 class overall.
