I The biggest and best race to date at Benton County Fairgrounds in Corvallis had Yamaha-mounted Marty McDaniel top a crash-plagued BOcc A main event on his water-cooled YZSO using a rampant pace to beat Mall Zirbel (Yam) and Marty Lewis (Hon). Novice-Pro Marty Zirbel won a thrilling 250cc Pro main. Zirbel motored away wi th the 250cc and Open Pro's five-lap preliminaries in qualifying beating rival Ryan Fisher to enjoy the pole positions in both outings. Zirbel'~ next task was topping the matching trophy dashes on his Kinishl Adams Cycle/Town Center Yam/Chaney's Auto Yamahas, winning the 250cc dash over Fisher and Expert Ron Adams (Bul). The Open Pro three-lap-dash victory didn't come as easy for the Novice sensation, as Fisher grabbed the holeshot only to be passed by another hot Junior Pro, Mike Huffman (Yam). Huf£man led until the final turn when Fisher made a drive to get around and sent both down giving jubilant Zirbel a finish line win for his sweep of the Pro trophy dashes. Fisher watched from the distance at the start of the 250cc Pro main event, while Zirbel quickly opened up a good sized lead in the 2O-lap main event. Adams, Junior Veri Smith (Bul) and Pat Munyon - also on an Astro - held down top five positions midway through the main and could get no closer, as Zirbel put a huge deficit on the field for top payoff over Fisher, Adams and Smith.
