checkered for $400 from Yamaha and another $100 of CCS cash purse.' Harth's newest help/sponsor comes from Florida's Dave Rhodenbaugb, who in hanging up his racing leathers has made his highly kiued equipment available. After a bad start, Frank Fillingham jumped from fifth to second by lap twO in the big Middleweight uperbike ovice field. He soon found his way around Patrick Harris (FJ600 mounted) and once again outraced the FJ600-dominated field on his Toomey-built RZ350 for the checkered, 17 bigger bored machines followed him acros the line. Clearwater Florida's Chuck Quenzier proved himself once again the undisputed kingofRD's with a cleancut win in Middleweight Superbike Expert over Blackwell and FJ600mounted Tully.

Dennis Johnson followed Mississippi's hot shoe Jimmy Mosley for nine laps before pulling off a last lap pass to take the flag in Heavyweight Superbike Novice on his Premier Cycles-sponsored FZ750.
