In the morning the track was wet from the previous evening's thunder showers, and then as the day wore on parts of the track became slick as an 80° sun dried up spots -and made it eXLremely tough for the riders to negotiate. Albert Firestine opened up his Yamaha and captured the overall in the I25cc Expert class by a wide margin over Mall Lindsey and Jim Mitchell. Lindsey chased Firestine in both motos but was unable to catch the swift number-one plate holder. Jim Mitchell, aboard his new Cagiva, finished both motos in third.
