On a relatively small , kidney-shaped scram bles tra ck laid out within the Bolado Pa rk Rodeo Grounds, it was Steve Sullenger and his Yamaha that topped the heavily-enter ed 500cc Junior class. In th e heat race it was Tracy Daw son that char ged to the front and stayed there. David Freeze charged through th e pack from a mediocre start and got up as high as second before he ran out of laps and time, while Sullenger cli mbed to third place at the checkers. Melvin Elias on ly went about 20 feet into the heat race when his chain locked up; he was to suffer the same fate in the final. In the l2- lap final fast starters Dawson, Kevin Gonzales and Sullenger were th e early battlers. Bob Pack worked up from a second ro w sta rt and then began slipping off th e groove and some of those he passed repassed. Dawson go t into a tan kslap~r and had h is attention take n, wh ich allowed Sulle nger and Gary Ri tch ie to motor past. Wh en the checkers came out the riders wer e fairly strung out so there were no rea l close finishes and no late lap challenges. Su llenger's win was a popu lar one with the assembled fans . . Pee Wee action saw a poor heat per fo rm an ce fro m Jake Keen ey, while Jesse Dawso n go t the win, but in th e final Keeney and his Catsby Ra cin g and Gatsby Automotivesponsored machi ne were unsto ppable. He took early command and avoided problems. • Results PIW 50 : 1. Jake Keene y (ya m); 2. Jesse Dawson (Yam); 3 . Lance Arnold (Ya m~ 4 . M ichae l Hannas (Suzj. M INI 60 NOV: 1.
