Hemet H igh Schoo l must have re ally trained somewhere as they took the mud like Roger DeCoster to motocross and wound up winning five of 10 classes. Dia na Clark of Hemet and Kathy Campbell of Western , the only entrants, went after the Women's title. It was Kathy who got out on tDp but she ran into trouble on the second lap when she hit a water hole that was a lot deeper than what .she thought and Diana got by her. Kathy got unstuck eventually but it cost her a lap and the win went to Diana. Robert Cla rk , Diana's brother, gave Hemet another win as he broke on top in the 100cc Novice class and plowed around the course like someone born to it. Robert Young did the same thi ng in the 125cc Novices , bu t his Hemet teammate, J eff Becker tried to unseat him, staying close enough to ride dou ble . Unfortunately, wit h a muddy track, when you dial it on a nd a ll you do is spin yo ur wheels, pa ssing becomes almost impossible and Becker had to be content with second. Blair Bryson of EI Dorad o had enough for third . Ernie Snodgrass paid attention to the magic formu la Hemet was using and broke out on top of his teammates Hurley McCaghrew and David English. Snodgrass and McCaghrew stayed close together but English started having troubles immediately and dropped out of serious contention. Snodgrass made it to the checkered first with McCaghrew second and English a distant third. David Lesoasky had the other win for Hemet topping Melvin McFadden of Pacific in the Mini Division. .
