Dan Sanchez blasted into the second spot at the start of moto one and held second to take the checkered flag 10 laps later. In the second moto Blackie Lewis put his Yamaha into the second spot, passing several riders to get there. Sanchez was second overall. Dick Mosley, who got the Expert holeshot, held that lead for nine laps before Chuck Woody blasted into the lead. Mosley held in for second. Buzz Moeller put his Husky into a smooth line that put him into third at the fmish line. In moto two Mosley quickly took command of the track as he put his Yamaha into the lead, gassed it for 10 laps and won. Buzz Moeller took second with a display of some excellent riding. George Spearing blasted into the third spot. Amateur Gene Powell knew how to manage a hot, grueling track. He won both motos, despite getting a last stan in moto two.
