never challenged. Burrows charged his way up
from a relatively poor start to claim second
ahead of Nicholson, Villacaro, and a race-along
battle between Penton rider Al Gardner,
Kretschmer and the Montesa VR250 of Eric
Kraft.
Sportsman division first-moto action saw
holeshot artist Dorsey Bennett on an Ossa
Phantom with the early lead over the Hondas of
Scott Lanier, Joel 5ummer and Jimmy Harner.
Lanier passed Bennett on the fourth lap and
held on for the win followed by Bennett,
Summer and Lisa Powell on her '74 Elsinore 125.
Moto two's start was a rerun of the Hrst,
with Bennett again claiming the holeshot. After
a poor start, Joel Summer charged from the back
of the pack to assume the lead on lap three, followed by Lanier, Bennett and Harney. Powell
waited until lap three to begin her charge with
an outstanding ride to claim second place by the
end of the moto ahead of Harney and Bennett
Seventeen riders entered the highly-<:ompetitive Super Vintage class, where anything goes,
as long as it has drum brakes and an air-<:ooled
motor. Both Garlin and Joel Nicholson opted to
ride their short-travel pre-'75 vintage bikes in
the Super Vintage class, and came away with
first and second overall for their efforts.
In moto one, Peter Villacaro pushed his '81
Maico 440 into the early lead, only to run into
bike problems which relegated him to the back
of the pack and allowed Garlin into the lead followed by Maico-mounted Van Aderhold,
Nicholson, Burrows (on another of his many
Maicos) and Dorsey Bennett, also on a Maico. By
lap four, Burrows had worked his way up to
second place, only to crash and drop to fourth at
the finish behind Garlin, Nich01son and
Aderhold. A rainy second moto saw Villacaro again
with the holeshot, followed by Aderhold,
Burrows, Nicholson and Garlin. Garlin began
his charge on lap two and was able to pass
Villacaro on the final lap to complete his perfect
day. Garlin was followed by Villacaro, Burrows,
Nicholson and Bennett who passed Aderhold in
the final tum to claim fifth.
Super Vintage moto two also provided the
closest racing of the day with an exciting three-
bike battle for seventh between Rudy Savelli on
a '75 Elsinore 250, Bil Burton on Husqvama 250
and Maico 400-mounted Russ McAllister. The
three battled the entire moto, crossing the startfinish tabletop three-abreast lap after lap, with
McAllister finally prevailing at the checkered
flag, followed closely by Burton and Savelli.
