The reason for this was that Bad Brad and Bill Calicura showed to ride a pair of XR75s . Calicura had in mind to show up Lackey and installed a trick Powroll kit, but fate had it otherwise as it usually does when one wants to beat Lackey. Bill 's clutch gave out on the second uphill and he had to sit out the remainder of the race. The original plan was to run five laps, call it off, have a presentation to first place, then cow trial until about one. (Then into the serious side of political rallies, drinking.) The plan was mired down in who was to give the one lap signal, and to whom . The leaders were still Pat Brown on his Maico with Voss (Suz) second over Vanderpool. The problem was to recognize these guys as they came by. The mud became quite a problem. At any rate the one lap went out to Voss , who was having problems with a brake , and Brown was missed. Pat , a three time Black Plate rider, went by on five and six before his mom came up to say that he was working on lap seven, so the race became a seven lap affair. When the finish was given to Vanderpool, it was for second as Voss had lost his brake and was out on th e course. The winner, at any laps. was Brown. 21~ Pioneer prevails '78sea'son ~iirl ~ 'lY Pasadana.

Officials returned to a combined point structure this season in which scrambles and flat track riders will com pete for 20 black . plates, rather than a separate system for each type of racing. Several racers did honors to their first-shown 1977 plates, gathered January 4 , in a neat D-36 presentation party. Salinas riders Jack Barton (BP #9) and Doug Chandler (BP #1) won the mini mains. Chandler led both events but fell on his 100 , leaving Barton the win with Dennis Houser in second. Doug returned aboard his Salinas Yamaha to blitz the 80cc class and he won easily , lapping through fifth place. Scott Nugent and Joe Knight grabbed th e other points. Sportsman rid ers were more competitive on the deep , h eavily bermed course. Short track aces Alex Jorgensen (W P #8) and Jimbo Felice (WP #6) sandwiched around J eff Haney for the 250cc Expert win. Dennis Spen ce (BP #2) gambled on a b ad a nkle but came out ahead of the 500 cc pa ck.
