Jeff Mabery and, Chris Young, both Yamaha-mounted. Moto one was a four-rider battle in the early stages as Kawasaki rider Jimmy Palmer played trade-a-slot with the leaders, but dropped 0[£ the pace near midpoint after a tumble. Healey opened some breathing room over the second place duel which ended at the checkers with Mabery just ahead of Young. Second round action featured a near replay of the earlier nail-biter and all positions held to the finish and an overall order numerically identical to moto one. The 125cc Intermediate apparently took their lead from the Pro event as each competitor fell neatly into an organized slot for each moto and the overall. Honda rider Paul Vlach proved fastest while David Church kept his Kawasaki j tist in front of third place finisher Mike Weise on a Yamaha. The Vet Experts finally provided a bit of anticipation between motos as brothers Keith and Kenny Ehlers engaged in a touch of sibling poli teness with each posting a molO victory with the overall win going to Kenny. Chasing the Yamaha riders in for third place honors was Kawasaki rider was George Kohler. ~ WE'VE GOT YOUR TICKETS TO DAYTONA!!!
