dBrad • IS Junior/Senior rider Leon Price. the preceding lap, dropping him from second to fifth in the last half of lap one. Panner Heath Hibbard got the catch-up duty while the flat was being fixed and he perfonned his duty wen, picking up two spots to close lap two in fourth. Traffic was beginning to fonn, making placement of the later riders difficult but I think Ray Zylstra was running first Beginner at this point. Greg Johnston now showed in sixth place. Lap three saw some shuffling and .the finishing order began to establish itself. Jay Orendorff was now aboard as captain of the flying S&L Yamaha and took finn control of first, not to be headed again. The Padilla/Hinds -ream experienced some unknown difficulties and dropped to sixth on this lap, moved up a bit on the next two, but disappeared after a valiant effort before the finish. While they were dropping back, the Hibbard/ Davies team took the second spot and the Mulconerys grabbed third. That fixed the top three right through to the end of the race. The Upp/Heil team spent the next three laps swapping positions with first Amateurs Dean Miller and Greg Johnston, with Upp/ Heil founh and Miller/Johnston fifth at the end. As the Padilla/Hinds team slid out, Bill Robertson and Ron Haase slid the Honda of Hollywood ~ team into sixth. T A little further back the first Open Novices appeared to be Charlie and Ed Walters of the Walters Racing Family. If they are all related, I counted at least six Walters in .the entries. They don't need a promoter; a r few more family and they could. hold ,. pnvate racesI The wildly unofficial results indicated that Norm Larsen and Vince Ruesch were the first 250cc Novices by virtue of their being the only 250cc Novice team to complete six laps. What makes that remarkable is that Nonn had to get gas from a passing 'bike at Bessemer Road (after walking out of the desert) and I doubt that he got enough to finish the race. I hear that he had to stop several more times for gas before he made it to the finish. A clear candidate for today's Perseverance Awardl Finally, it seemed that every time I turned around, John Downey was screaming by on his 175. Although I didn't see him, partner Marc Yoakum must have been doing the same, for that team showed up on the unofficial results as first Beginners. • Results OVERALL: 1.
