The enduro was divided into two separate runs, with overall and class winners each day. District points were awarded each day, but Golden State points were awarded on your overall standing at the end of two days. Saturday Hi-Desert Kawasaki-sponsored Tracy Walters once again proved that a small bike can get the job done, hy taking his second overall win, and his fourth 200cc A win of the year, with a score of 1/07. Just missing out on his first district overall was KRW /Super Seer/Kal· Gard/DMG Maico-sponsored Garner Palenske, with a score of 1/56.

Behind 200cc A class winner Walters were Joe Bonnello (6), who has just moved up to the A ranks, and Hesperia's Ron Reinholdson (6), aboard his Kawasaki. The Senior class number one plate race tightened up a whole bunch, when Yamaha-mounted Ron Fry (5) took the win. Honda·mounted Jay Tullis (8) slipped to a tie in the point standings when he ended up second behind Fry. Finishing third was Don McNamee, with a score of nine. The contenders for the number one Four-stroke plate were not in the top three, as Tom Getzfrid (5) thumped his way to the win, followed by John Poor, Jr. (6), and Yamaha-mounted Mike Haney (7). The course consisted of three loops. The first loop was 27 miles long, and went to the sand hills.
