Pr e-pr ogr am dia ls set memory f or next avg, By Dol PERRIS, CAL., OCT. 2 Perris Raceway set the scene with perfect tr ack conditions and a snappy program for an aggressive group of riders and a good time was had by most. Kirk Johnson needed the help of his younger brother to hau l away the trophies in four separate ra ces , and his dad's contented smile must have indeed made Kirk a happy young man.

Bulta co mounted Jim Wood swept all three motos for first followed by Dave Jones in that same class.
