Stumbo maintained third and Kelly m a n aged to pass Johnston about halfway around and take command of fourth place. Super hot shoe. Brad Henson (175 Yam) was letting it all hang out running sixth overa ll at this point. Kelly pulled off with unknown problems and in . doing so returned Johnston to fourth place. On the last lap Balentine was still closing on Brooks. A short distance from the finish Balentine caught Brooks sleep ing and nearly passed him . At th e fin ish Brooks was able to keep Balentine behind him for the win. Shortly aft er the two leaders had finished , Stumbo arrived on the scene after riding a good consistent race finishing third just ahead ofJohnston . Henson shot in next , not only finishing fifth overall and winning his class, but beating all of the 250s as well .

Gus Paull (400 Yam) had his work cut out for him , having to pass Open Senior Amateur Ed Denbow (400 Yam) and hold off the charge of M .S . Dyott for the senior class victo ry. In the 250 and Open Novice go 'rou nd , Marc Kibbe (250 Yam) led the first la p but cou ldn 't hold off Tim Sloan (400 Yam ), who then led for the duration of the ra ce for the overall win. Kibbe also couldn't keep Jeff Hylton (250 Hus) in his dust either. Hylton came from 15th on the firstlap to second over a ll and the 250 win at the finish. The Lightweight Novice race was won by Mike Willis and his 125 Suzuki doing an ou tsta nd ing job. Rick Beck (175 Hu s) and Mark Gervais (125 Yam) were rather spread out , but nevertheless fini shed second and third . Gil Catton rode with a flatt ened rear ti re to a good overall position and first J unior Lig htw eight Novice over Brad Hunsinger (175 Yam). C . Crabbe (500 Yam) worked his way from back in the pack past Jerry Glass (500 Yam ) but couldn't quite ca tc h up to sen ior winner Bob Stokoe.

Joanna Estrade (125 Yam) beat Vanetta Ka h l (125 Ya m ) for the powder puff victory . Kelly Kline (80 Yam) was really 'shining as she ran in the top 10 for the entire lengt h of the race to ta ke first mini : Kelly did so well that Phil Stumbo gave her h is victory cha m p agne , saying she d id so well th a t she deserved it. The high point of the d ay was the o· 200 Beginner who had his trained pigeon follow within 40 feet of him for the wh ole ra ce . I wouldn 't have believed it if I had not seen it. The racer still rema ins ano nvmous.
