Reep's victory was a clean sweep in both motos over 17 other competitors. [n moto one, the hot new prospect from Santa Rosa [ought off repeated challenges from Paul Fitzgerald and his Honda.

The second mota showed that John Ensign could not be counted out as he bea t the pack into the 180 degree first turn. However, his lead didn't last but a half lap when Weyrauch powered by. Weyrauch got the overall vicLOry with his double maLO wins and the great second mota performance of Ensign earned him second place overall.
