In the Modifieds it was all Fisher in both motos, but in the Stocks Mike had to come from behind for a tie' breaker second moto win to do the job. Intermediate 125cc rider, Larry Butler is no longer an Intermediate as the Yamaha hot-shoe once again went two for two in both the Stock and Modified classes to gain enough points to move up to the Experts come next race day . It wasn't even close in either division as Butler ran away from Rich Smith (Suz) in the Stocks and likewise blasted Chris Lamb and Bill Konig in . the Modifieds. With the Intermediates on a delayed stan with the Experts, Butler had a good chance to gage his performance for next race meet, and it looked like he should stan out well as he was ga ining on Steve Hitt and Mike Monsegur who were having their own private battle up front. Hitt had his hands full with Monsegur all day, and had to do a come from behind number in the Stocks for a squeaker win. Returning to the Minis, there was a mob scene in the Stock Novices , but the "Meanie Greenie" twins Mark Scott and Eric Dickerhoff prevailed for the two top spots with Yamaha rider Lance Barnett breaking up the Kawasaki parade with a tie-breaker third over Bryan Powell. Scott once again flagged his ' Kawasaki to a Modified win over visiting Phoenix, AZ, rider Tom Tait who caught on quickly to the wild and wooley Barona course. Honda rider T im Shoos came up in the second moto for third. And last but not least . those Beginners, just as the first wave of Beginners this year were . mostly Kawasaki mounted now its the Honda riders' tum. Brand new rider Javier Angivano just flat demolished the competition over fellow "chili pepper" rider Garrin Bryant in a giant . class . of mostly Hondas and Kawasakis.
