The course was relatively dusty the first time around. but as the Amateurs and Experts began catching the Beginners and Novices riders, the dust situation became heavy. Roeseter had developed a flat ,tire shortly after he left the pits. Sixbery soon caught. him, with the two of them switching their position numerous times. Sillbery got past Roeseler just as they rentered a section of very heavy dust on Soggy below Check Four. Sixbery hit one of those treacherous mounds near the edge of the lake, causing a spectacular dust cloud. By sheer will power alone, he got back on his bike and rode almost up to check four, but that was as far as he could manage. He had broken several fingers and possibly his hip. Meanwhile Balentine had extended his lead to several minutes. It was a long wait as he sat in the finishers' chute looking for the next rider to crest the hill. It was Roesler who flew in next, flat tire and all. Ogilvie was the next to come off the rock ledge and make a sweep around to the finish. Suddenly, however, from alon../t the heavy concentration of Novice and Beginner riders still coming off their first loop, came a pie plater ,with all stops wide open, blowing past Ogilvie only a few feet before the checkered. It was Clark. coming in for the third overall finish, leaving the fourth spot for Ogilvie. Bill Saltzman earned the first Vet honors in the fifth overall slot followed by Zarp (Open). Dan Smith (Open) had moved into the top 10 behind Zarp, taking the first Amateur Open honors.

First Senior Open pilolwas Norman, in the 16th spot, wa followed by three "C" machines guided by Elias, Cliff Thomas, and Hamill. In the 29th slot Charters once again moved ahead of all other Seniors except for Charters, but Zuber (Sr. 250) was right behind him past the checkered. The first Vet 250cc bike was straddled by Jim Bringhurst with fellow 250cc Vet racer. Dennis Rosenberg only three bikes back. First gal honors once again went to Beck with Lori Farmer only six slots behind. Mattox earned the first trailbike title with a "chip of the old block," Bobby Charters, earning the Amateur Trail win. . Lyle. Palmer (Hwt) was the first Amate,ur Senior to cross the finish line while Senior Phillip Hendry took top honors in the 250cc class. First Novice honors were earned after a tight battle between two 250s, piloted by Geoffrey Niles and Hodgson. Two more 250s followed and were ridden by Roger Zela and Troy Moore, with C Novice pilot Larry Dysert nipping at their heels. Veteran 250cc Novice Joe Penoncello 'took the checkered next, followed by another 250cc Novice, Mitchell Berger. The next Novice to enter the finishers' chute was the first heavyweight Jeff Reible followed by C biker Dave Chumney. • II. 111_1111 IlIlell 1IIIIrIIIrs 1l0NI PART NO.
