In the 370cc class Lind a WilhiLe scared the men when she turned a time ofll .6 seconds on a 360cc Yamaha . It was the second fastest time of th e day at that time and her husband Wayne had a hard time beati ng her. He . finally did on the same 360 and LOok first, bUL she sure shook him a nd a lot of other men up . Tom Hairston was the first person to put any big iron on the hill , but somet hing came apart in his 750cc Triumph and the top was not his. Mike Poll ey rode another 750cc Triumph fOT the first time a nd showed his dad that he can ride the big bikes. with a 12 flat and a n 11.5 on the second , which sent him home with third in the 750cc class. Henry . Mike's dad, went half a second faster at II even to capture firs t on the same bike . The rea l excitement came in the Open and Exhib ition classes. Sta n Hickey and Tom H airston had their 1000cc Tri umph triples pri med for the attack and Henry Polley was ready on his 800cc T riumph. Hic key was riding the 1000 for the first Lime and had a little trouble sorting ou t the gears on the first rou nd . and found out that third will not work . Polley came out of . the hole WFO and ne~er let up for the whole 500 feel. His 10 flat was the fas test time by' a good ·m a rgin . Tom Hairston and his 1000 tried hard, but could only Lie Polley. In t h~ Exhibition class things were about the same. Polley put in anot her 10-second run . b ut Ha irston used his tire wit h th e m eta l paddles and that was a mistake, he p ut in a slowe r time. Things changed in the second ro und. Hickey sorted out his gears and found second . His triple was ready to go and it did. Nine point eig ht seconds put him on top. Polley's second run in the Open was only 10.4 seconds and his cl utch went out to put him out of the race. Hai rston was having clutch troubles with his 1000 and had to leave the battle. Hickey sewed th ings up in the Exhib ition cla ss with another 9.8 run. Results BUDDY CLASS: 1. Rob bie Bailey & Corky Dawes (Yam). M INI: 1. J im Ho pki n. ISu.l. POWDER PUFF: 1.
