Billy Compton turned in one o[ the beller performances o[ the afternoon when he LOpped Jerry Benner and Ra y Burgess in the 250cc I Illerme· diate class. His faultless navigation through the [our whoops just prior LO the [inalturn gave him an impressive cushion of comfon in both heats; he increased his lead with every lap. The duel between Burgess and Benner was quite close, however, especially in the closing moments of the race. Riding aggressively but cleanly, Burgess tried a lillIe bit o[ everythin~ in his bid to gel by Bennt"1'. but Ihe Honda pilot ht'ld his ground \\'ith grim delermimttion and 'ucces [ully fought 0[£ Burgess' advances to take runner-up honors.
