With tongue- in -chee k, Bill Gusse, Bike Barn owne r a nd race promoter said, " I' ve been too tough o n th e boys so toda y I just laid o u t a little run through th e woods a nd. pastures.

" Harv ey's broth er , Ron Wh ipple, riding a 250cc Kaw asaki, didn 't ha ve as much trouble wi th th e woods as he did with th e start. ROIl was first off the line from th e dead engine start. At th e end of th e 50-ya rd starting chute marked by a hedge tree, th e co urse switched back to th e left before ent ering th e main course.

I went to the inside of the pack a nd follow ed H arvey and som e guy on a Yamaha (Larry Sullivan) on to th e track. We were o ut front a nd all alone. I was happy beca use a nyone who got a ~ood start had a big adv antage in this race." It was a tight three-wa y dice for the first hour between Ingol d, Sullivan and Whipple. Then Sullivan felt th e stresses of a midwestern sun, high humidity a n d wr estling . an Open class Yamaha in su per-tigh t woods and dropped off th e pace to finish fifth in hi s class. " I couldn 't g et a ro u n d R i ck (In go ld) ," said Whipp le, " T hen with ab out 45 minutes left he let me by, and I didn 't see him an y more." KT M rid er J eff Stevenson, current po ints leader in th e Open cla ss, got caught in the pile up at the sta rt and charged from the back of th e pa ck to mak e a bid to pass In go ld on the last lap for the clas s win.
