and it pulled at least two bikelengths
on Hansen every straight.
Hansen stuck in second very nicely
for the first three-quarters of the
main, then started really applying
heavy pressure in all attempt to take
over first place. Nothing he tried
shook Robertson. who was riding a
brilliant race, but with three laps to
go, the Wheelsmith rider made a
costly mistake. Going into the esses at
the end of a long straight, Robertson
missed a shift and lost momentum into
a corner. Hansen capitalized on the
mistake and went around the outside
for the lead before Robertson could
get his 450 rolling again. .
The last two laps saw Robertson
catch Hansen on the straights. then
when the two piled into lapped traffic.
Robertson made a final bid for the
win. As Hansen tried to go outside of
the lappees, Robertson went for the
inside, and it was all a matter of who
could come out first, dodging the
riders spread out in the corner.
Robertson's line came out the better of
the two, and he went on to win it by a
bikelength over Hansen, with Bill
Ovellette putting in a fine ride for
third. Rounding out the top five were
Mark White aod Hal Strauss, both on
Maicos.
Starting the 250cc Pro main was like
looking at the 500s again, as the first
two riders out of the gate were Hansen
and Robertson. Maico-mounted
Kenny Zahrt, Tim Locey and Mark
Lawrence were the next in line, but
everyone was watching the battle 'up
front between Hansen and Robertson.
This round Hansen was the one with
the bike, and Robertson had to play
follow the leader the entire way, but
picked up second overall ahead of
Yamaha-mounted Locey, Lawrence,
and Zahrt.
In the l25cc Pros, it was Johnny
O'Mara with the holeshot the first
moto, as Tim Locey, Jimmy Holley.
Willy SiJnQQ5 and. Mark _Lawr~nce
trailed. Halfway through the mqto
Locey was up on O'Mara, then shot by
for a lead he was never to relinquish.
O'Mara held on to second, while
Lawrence moved into third ahead of
Holley. Mike Brown and Simons.
Round two saw O'Mara again take
the holeshot, but this time Lawrence
took over for the lead and win.
O'Mara held on for second, and
second overall, followed by Locey,
Holley and Simons.
