Moto one consisted of a battle between Rickey Glaser and Russell Miksch. Glaser led off the line, and by lap three, Miksch had overcome him. Moving up behind Glaser was Kawasaki's Mickey Pizzatola who got a lastof-the-pack stan but fought his way through to fourth by the second lap and third on lap three. A double attack continued ·between Miksch and Glaser for fint and second spots and Pizzatola and David McClain for third and fourth. The exchanges of places continued, and on lap five, first runner was now Glaser as he slowly pulled away from Miksch. A ways behind Miksch was Pizzatola who had a new sparring partner, Randy Choate; McClain had dropped far behind. Glaser continued to add distance between himself and Miksch while Choate passed Pizzatola, who was having trouble concentrating on the race. He had his wisdom teeth pulled several days earlier and still felt the effects from that. Compounding his dizziness, he experienced a handling problem with his bike and pulled off the track. After the initial inspection, he believed the swingarm pivot bolt was breaking loose. He dropped out leaving founh to McClain who didn't have enough time to catch Choate. The last lap found Glaser having a tremendous lead on Miksch. The second moto showed a new duel between Choate and Glaser, who made an attempt to pass Choate on a set of newly designed (and sadistically arranged) stutter bumps. He went to the outside of the bumps and went to the right of two tires strategically placed to discourage riders' outside attempts. Choate took the outside line of the turn following the bumps as Glaser tried to cut to the inside but was forced to brake sooner, which gave Choate the edge he needed to hold onto his lead. Miksch dialed on the power and passed Glaser with ease as he quicltly closed in on Choate. David McClain gave a superb per· formance, after sliding out In a back section, by charging up through the riders and passing Glaser on a straight· away. He then charged toward an un· suspecting Miksch. A three-way challenge lasted only a lap between Choate, Miksch and McClain. Choate dropped way back and continued to ride slowly around the course while a skillfully ago gressive McClain managed to execute the stutter bumps and cut underneath Miksch in the corner. He didn't hold the lead for very long as the next lap found Miksch out front again. Determined to regain and hold on to first place, McClain gave it one more try on lap nine in the 10·lap race. He set out and accomplished his goal on the double jumps and saw the checkered flag first with a long lead on Miksch followed by Glaser. Claiming first overall in the 125cc Expen class was Kyle Landrum. He took the lead over on lap two of moto one and rode on chased by a close trio made up of Steve Gauthier, John Rollo and Terry Thomas. Landrum was challenged by Thomas for one lap but slowly pulled away from him and rode untouched the remainder of the moto. . Meanwhile, Gauthier remained a strong second with Rollo third as ThomaS was hounded by Ricky White who seemed glued to Thomas' rear fender. Lap five saw Rollo trade places with Gauthier who slowed down dras· tically. The Thomas/White pursuit continued for six long, tiring laps. White couldn't budge Thomas, though, who finally gained a couple bikelengths through a sandy section of the course. On ~heir second time to take off from the stan, the lead was snatched by Gauthier with Thomas in second and Landrum in third. It took Landrum four laps to snag fint away from Thomas, the new leader, but he
