The ladies were led to the finish by Lady Janitor, followed by Lady Rotten and ., Lad y Toilet, In the 12 and over class, Torsten Corum fm ished first with Gopher Gene's, Steve, in second and Joe Mascola close behind. In th e under 12 class , the counterparts of Tac ky Tim , _ .came .in one and two with Doug Ford first and Mark Fo rd chasing him. We found some tired kids and ladies, but I don't think they 100 ked as bad off as some of the gang members. In the Expert class the South survived with Lanky Larry doing a superb job of riding in first, (He laid out the course.] Following was our guest. Bruce Conrad, and Dippy Del.
