-O re g o n-W a s h in gto n· ld aho- Uta h-A la s k Schlag was in front for the remainder of the race but Woodall made him work for it. Schlag put a few feet between them, but Woodall kept pretty much in ra nge. Aksland did not let himself be forgotten either, maintaining a strong third place only a few yards back. In the second moto it again was Woodall who got off the line first and headed up hill in the lead, bu t pulled off the tra ck for good almost immediately with mechanical problems. Schlag was into the lead but not without some challenge. This time it was Robert Congdon's Maico that dogged Schlag for much of the way · before turning second place over to Aksland . Junior rider Tony Flores (Suz) took the ho leshot in the first Mini moto with Expert Eddie Gold (Kaw) only a wheel behind and soon into the lead. The Minis were having trouble over one of the uphi ll jumps and they lost their leader Gold there d uring the third la p and then Junior Bob Sisco (Suz) as well. Flores reclaimed the lead with Novice Chris Plain (Yam) in sec ond. Plain put himself back to sixth by wiping out in a sharp left -hand hairpin turn, but his total bad lu ck was confirmed when his chain came off just a few hundred yards from the finish line and he DNF. Gold had re mounted in fifth place but rode well and finished second behind Flores. The second moto was holeshot by Novice Michael Smith (Kaw) but again the lead race was between Gold and Flores. Gold came across the finish line first this time. Novice Scott Schubert (Suz) put in an excellent ride in both mo tos , crossing the finish line in a strong third position with an Expert and a Junior rider ahead of him each time. Schubert took home a well de served first overall trophy for the Novice class win. One of the few consistent details in the 250cc Novice race was that Dennis Tate (Suz) was second off the starting line and firs t ac ross the finish line in both motos for a perfect sco re . O ther wise there were changes galore. Jeff Holder (Yam) had the holes hot in moto on e but crashed a nd let ha lf the field past him on the first la p . Kelly Marchbank (Hon) had a good start and seriously contended a top spot for much of the race on ly to DNF. Jack Jacob (C-M did a strong consistent job in the first moto and finished second for his efforts. Ken Klein (Suz) was through the hole ahead of Tate in the second moto but soon was lost in the pack. Holder got a good start also and soon was challenging Tate for the lead. The challenge was successful for a couple of laps, but Tate reasserted himself before the checkers came out. Holder had to settle for second and Bill Aguilar (Yam) was across for third . • Results Brad Lackey Wins Hank Scott Makes It rpm Riders Sweep Austrian 500 GP Two In a Row at San Buchanan!
