Competition was stiff and the winningest bike of the day was Yamaha. The 125cc Pros drew their fans trackside with a spectacular race. John O'Mara, a veritable "White Tornado" aboard his Mugen, took back to back wins for the class. Mike Brown fired his Yamaha off . the line in the lead with O'Mara hounding him in second. It seemed destined to be a Brown/O'Mara dud until Brown was forced out with a seized engine. John Whelchel piloted his Yamaha into second. on his way to the Yamaha bonus money. Whelchel was closing fast on O'Mara. with only four bikelengths separating them. and was the only other racer O'Mara could see. Throughout the rest of the pack, heavy dicing was the name of the game with Jim Holley and A.J. Whiting fighting it out over third, both mounted on Yamahas. When the first moto drew to a close O/Mara slipped across the line for the win with Whelchel holding second and Whiting taking down third. When the engines came to life for the second mota, Brown blew everyone in the weeds off' the line. He found Bob Kline and his Can·Am in second and Holley fighting for third. Someone in the crowd was waving a The Open Pros knocked the socks off of everyone with one of the most exciting races of the day. Goat Breker turned his Kawasaki loose for an im· pressive win. . The start of the first mota saw Mike Shoemaker take over from the top of the hill. With Yamaha·mounted Mark White in second it looked like another Yamaha victory. Then came Breker. Wedged in between Pete SnoTteland and Tim Locey, he fought wheel to wheel to break away. Mike "The Shoe" Shoemaker. was out in front, on his home turf and jockeying his Yamaha right into the winner's circle. Locey and Breker found themselves locked into a wheel to wheel battle for second, both of them out to catch "The Shoe." By the end of the moto, Locey found himself in second, with Breker in third. When the gate dropped the second time, Breker took over and held off Snoneland, White and Donald Drasko· vich throughout for the moto win. Shoemaker, having a rough stan. was set back in the pack and in spite of some brilliant passes was unable to catch the leaders, finishing in sixth and good enough for third overall. When the race drew to a close, Breker finished in first for the overall win and White took over second for second place money with third overall going to "The Shoe." Results 60 NOV: 1.
