The host of this first of a 12 race series was the Clarks Branch Motocross Park. There were many winners throughout the day; however. the .big winners were William Joyce and Phil Oveland. Joyce easily rode to double moto wins in the 125cc class aboard his Marion Suzuki/LOP-sponsored Suzuki while Oveland took his Yamhill Yamaha/ Wons Perlonnance-sponsored Yamaha to double moto wins in the 250cc class and put in two second-place rides in the Open class which was good enough for the overall. The day began with a light rainfall which slowly turned into a short but heavy rainfall. turning the track mostly slick rather than muddy.

Yamaha of Springfield rider Loch Names pulled into the lead which is where he stayed for twO laps before he fell, lelling a hard charging Rob Manning by for first. Manning easily held on for the win with Names placing seventh. The second qualifier saw Seallle LOP rider William Joyce lead from stan to finish with Jeff Cropper placing second and Dennis Diesso placing third. Twenty-five riders rode the consolation with only five riders qualifying. Joe Spangler was not taking any chances of not qualifying when he led from start to finish. The real action was back in fifth place where Loren Shockey and Dennis Ostriem were locked in a do-or-die battle for that last position. The two diced for three laps, but on the last lap. third-place rider Steve Corcoran fell pUlling Ostriem in the final. Moto one of the 125cc Pro main event started in a slight rain but it didn't slow any of the riders down, especially the 1~2 Suzuki rider. Joyce. As he had done in his qualifier, Joyce led every lap and in fact, wasn't even pressured. Manning started out in fourth place and was really starting to smoke. He
