Willi e Surra tt (Han) , living up to his nickname " Wild Willie," rode beaut ifull y to two class victories in . bo th th e 125cc a nd 250cc Pro cla sses, winning a ll four motos. He wa s a lso o ne o f th e participants in th t: ..fighl. , Acti on began lat e in th e fir st mota. Su rra tt had tak en th e 125cc lead ea rly, but wa s being hounded by Mik e Brown.
