Dieter Klausing won the 100cc Mini class after a ha rd fought baule with Bill Moseman . The 125cc Novice class was full , as usual. Mike Mythen who had won th e first moto , was lead ing the sec ond when he fell on a slick turn and lost the lead to eventual ove rall winner Mark Reynolds out of Sunnyvale . Larry Coatney, riding a 100cc Suzuki for Valley Cycle Supply, took a third in this hotly co nt ested class. Two loca l kids from Byron showed up to take honors in th e 250cc Novi ce class. Alan Loredo won the first rnoto but his buddy Roger Meek took the next win after a see -saw battle that held everyone in suspe nse up to the final lap . Jerry Wallgren and Rodney Smith wer e go ing great guns but could no t m ea sure up to Alan and Roger.

T he battle for seco nd appears to be between Danny Castelhano and Alex, which is a real thriller. Castelhano took home second plate points in the Open and is definitely hot for the number two spot. A precious few Mini kids came out in the cold. It was Ken Avery the winner in the combined Novice show whi le Dou g Chandler swept the 100cc over John McCready with Aaron Hill in for first 80c c Expert. Jim Hartbauer won the O'T vVets class closely pursued by Old T im er Louis Shapiro of Marathon Madness fame , riding rh Sonny Kenyon Bul.

Even when it did.) the Fremont Yamaha was sti ll firsts over the jump but he was caught in th. corners by Jorgy's Can -Am . Dynamite Da n held in for four la ps until the , C a n -Am pil ot turned on t h afterburners and split the scene. Mike Preston hooked up and squeezed by for .second ,:"ith Joey Schlag catc hing but not passmg the Fremont fast kid at the chec ke red . Danny wen t fo r it in t he Open class but couldn't beat John Gennai and Spence off th e line. The two brothersin- la w had a good battle going until ' the Petaluma Cycle Ma ico split its cases in th e most unfashionable way . Genna i was going for the inside breaking pa ss wh en the rod iet go and broke just about everything. Spence appeared to have it made until Dynamite Dan dial ed in the YZ 400 I and started a tri ck di ce affair. It was all for nothing th ough , as passing th e, Duralube Yamaha , out of A & D J Yamaha in Modesto , is like trying to" run over a tank . Spence took th e win with Castelhano blast ing hard ino second over Bob Congdon. • Results so-too I NOV: 1. Ken Avery ISuzl ; 2. Bob Piso n IS uz). 1ll).1oo EX: 1. Doug Chandler tYam); 2.
