By the third lap Dean Shultz (yes,
Darrell's brother, on a Suzuki) was in
the lead and stayed there to the finish.
Wiggins put in a remarkable performance going from second to last on
the first lap to second to first for the
checkered.
Greg Nelson (Mai) had the holeshot in the second moto but gave way
'to both Shultz, who scored a perfect II-I, and Wiggins, who seriously
challenged Shultz for that number one
spot until his untimely drop into the
ditch.
In the Intermediate class, it was
Wiley Craig who crossed the finish line
first in three out of four tries riding
both a 125 and a 250 Suzuki from
Cycle Wesl. Ed Minton, on a new
Yamaha, was first in moto one of the
125's and finished a close second to
Wiley's win in moto two. Minton took
home a well deserved first overall
trophy.
.
In both motas of the 250cc Intermed,ates Wiley Craig was leading by the
second lap. In moto one he stretched
out a significant lead, which he
needed when he fell during the fourth
lap. Craig Connelly (Yam) closed ~n
behind, but Wiley was up and away In
time to retain his lead. Scott Perry had
the holeshot in moto two, but Wiley,
Larry Dashiell and Connelly all got
past before the finish. Dashiell (Mai)
experienced problems that put him
behind in moto one but in moto two it
was his red bike which chased Wiley
across the finish line.
There are no official results as yet
for the 250cc Intermediate race but it
was a welcome sight for those who
remember the days when Wiley Craig
dominated the l00cc Sportsman class
to see him once again £lying free in
obvious command of the situation.
Keep it up, Wileyl .
The Open Intermediates, with only
six riders, were a welcome relief to the
harried scorekeepers who were able to
sort out all the mud covered numbers
by a process of elimination if nothing
else. Roger McCoy (Yam) holeshot
moto one but by the end of the race it
was Rick VanZant (Suz) in first with
John Scruggs (Mai) second to.McCoy's
third. The second moto saw VanZant
out in front the whole way with Jay
Lewis (Suz) and Lee Miller (Suz)
second and third.
