The o nly requirement .was that each winner had 10 race at least 15 times. Well, Tim Locey topped the 500cc Pro class, but unfortunately he didn't race the required 15 times and lost out on th e paycheck. The riders w ho did q ua lify were Roger Hensley of the I25cc Pro class and Jim Taranti no of the 250cc Pro class.
