The surprise of the main, Robert Horban (Suz), made the Junior final on a 250 LO round out the top five. Fay was in first and Hurst last when the 12 Expert finalists rounded tum one and for 15 exciting laps, and all eyes were focused on those riders. Fay, Green, McCullough and Barkman led coming down the hill, with Ron Adams, teammate Frank Word III and Barry Pelkey (C-A) in the hunt, jockeying for positions. Hurst put on the most spirited chargeofthe night, picking off riders lap after lap, and by the halfway point, had moved to sixth behind Adams and Mike Sullivan. Green, McCullough, and Barkman Jed. Missing from the picture was early leader Fay, who unloaded on the downhill comer on the slicker-than-usual course and handed the lead over to Green, who in tum yielded to McCullough's mighty 750 Triumph.

CRC Dunestown GP Simons-ized By Terry Rezek VALE CIA, CA, MAY 20 Yamaha's Willy Simons led the Pro classes across the finish as the California Racing Club ran the Dunestown Grand Prix at Indian Dunes_ For this event CRC managed to stuff a five-mile course onto the valley Door of Indian Dunes, but there were no drown-out water crossings unless one had insufficient velocity when attempting the river jump. Mark White immediately took the lead of the Open Class and was never challenged by anyone in his class. Ron Lewis was second for about half a lap but elected to take the bridge rather than the river jump, a costly five-second choice. Ron Baker seized the opportunity and leapt over the river to catch and pass Lewis at the next turn. Baker, one of CRC's top ATV riders, was moving well on twO wheels but 0 was Mike Mangold. Mangold pulled up on Baker and managed to slip by to take second at the finish. Marco Folchi was at the head of the 250cc Pro pack with Tom Engel and Enough Is Enough! • FURY Open Face $63.95 suggested retail $87.95 • FURY Full Face suggested retail FURY Helmets have all the features of more expensive brands but not the high price.
