going to Gary and his RM 370. In fact,
th e only rider to lead Ogden fo r any
len gth o f time was J ohn Hryn kiewiez ,
who pulled the holesho t in th e first
mota and led fo r o ne lap only , till the
Suz uki ace got by . From there on it was
all Gary's race.
Ogden did do ub le time today as he
also scored in the 25 0 Pro port ion of
t he $ 1,000 purse, b ut if you wanted to
see a wild man at .wo r k yo u sho uld've
seen J ef( Vidic in the t hird m ota. With
Rob er t Elliot (Suz) an d Ogden running
up front , Vidic was going nu ts try ing to
get by t hird p lace man Bill Rubly.
Rubl y said th at he could see Vidic's
shadow 20 feet ahead of him over th e

Maico in all directions about 10 feet
above Rubly's head. Vidic was pu mp ed .
Jeff ju st kep t t hat Maico revving when
Bill was shutting down and berzerko'd
his way into third. Vidic said that things
were getting a bit radical. For sure!
