The 1.5-mile track takes advantage of hills and gullies. and was even arranged to offer shade trees in strategically located spectator areas. Most of the riders liked the course, and surelyJ erome Heiberger (Mai) will come ba ck from Sa n J ose to ride it again. Heiberger went away somewha t wea lthier by winning the 250 Experts and taking second in the Open Experts. Donnie Canta loupi (Yam) took the top money in the 125 Expert class. In the first moto, Canraloupi started near the tail end of the 28-man pack and blitzed up to a third place finish . Neal Snarr (Yam) and Tay Gra~ (Suz) were the early leaders. Don Ferraro (Su z) and Dan Turner passed Gragg by to pursue Snarr. Snarr's lead looked safe until he crashed in " Dry Bone Culch. ' coming over the dropoff too fast to turn . He was about in 10th place when he got going again . Ferraro inherited the lead with Turner posing a serious threat. Coming down from the final "Alpine" ridge to the finish line Ferraro held out but Gragg lost his third to Cantaloupi in a near photo finish .
