Wollaston turned in an impressive performance by winning all five Masters molOS, but Honda-mounted Bob White made it tougher for him with each successive round. Wollaston dominated molO one, but White gated right behind him in molO twO and slayed close until midmOlO.ln molO three, White beat WollaslOn to the first turn, and it took WollaslOn three laps to get by. On day two, Whitewas never more than two bike lengths behind WollaslOn during round four. On the final round, WollaslOn beat White lo turn one, then White staJled his bike in a tight left-hander. White's hopes of capturing at least one vicLOry seemed lost, then Wollaston accommodated White's chances by stalling his own machine a few turns later. The twOsome went handlebar-lO-handlebar for the next three laps, then WollasLon tried to go outside for the pass on a downhill left hander and stalled in a loose berm. White was pulling away by mid-molO, but crashed when he washed out on a fast, downhill sweeper, allowing WollaslOn to ride by and take his fifth win unchallenged. Duane Spence enjoyed a imilar five-moLO 'sweep in the Expen cia s. He had no problems in the fir t two rounds, but had LO chase down Dennis Ro enberg in moLO three and Don Swearingen in the last round. But molO four was where he showed his determination. He was in dead last taning lap two, but kept charging and passed Swearingen on the last lap for the win. Amateur Ken Miller was another five-molO winner. He never experienced a good start, but worked his way to the front each race and had several good dices with Geoffrey Fox and Ted Hardy.
