got the overall win. Sprague, who rode a
1969 Bul taco EI Bandito, won the ffitermediate portion.
The only competition Hart had all
day long was in the first 125cc Expert
moto. Hart spent the entire race mixing
it up with another modern-day pro,
David Germain, who chased Hart down
and beat him to the finish for his only
moto loss of the day. Hart was long
gone in moto two and Germain could
only watch from a distance as Hart
nabbed the overall win.
In the combined Intermediate portion, LaFaye McCarver used 3-1 placings to beat Can-Am rider Chris Castles
and Honda-mounted Jeff Gleason for
the win. Steve ~auffman, who had a
good day by winning the 125cc Amateur
class, also won the 500cc Sportsman
Amateur class aboard a CZ.
Utah's Robert Borg prevailed in the
Classic 125ec ffitermediate class but had
tough competition from Sprague in both
motos. While Sprague adapted better to
moto one's mud fest, Borg's CZ prevailed in moto two for the overall win.
Third went to Rickman rider John Guiliford, while Scott Fisher and Erik Giertsen filled the top five.
The final race of the day was the 30+
Expert class. Insane airtime was evident
throughout both motos of this class,
logged mostly by Hart and the originator of the act, Nyblod, both of whom.
soared to new heights off of the suspension-shattering, high-speed back-stretch
jump. While Hart won the moto, Casey
collected second ahead .of Price, Carter
and Nyblod.
Nyblod's best finish came in moto
two as he chased Hart to the finish to
grab second overall. ''I'm happy with
second," said Nyblod, who for several
years enjoyed the same success that
Hart is maintaining. "I had a couple of
good motos. Any time you can finish
second to Grayson, that's a good day."
Carter trailed Nyblod for third followed by Price, who moved up a notch
on the last lap when Casey broke a footpeg and called it quits.
''I'm bummed," said Casey. "I've ridden hard all year for this one race and
first it was the hand and now this."
Hart's sweep of the class capped off
his three-class win tally in which he
went five for six in motes entered.
In the combined 250cc Intermediate
class, Keith Webster used consistent 2-1
showings to take the overall ahead of
Bob McDaniels: Ossa rider Rick Ball
won the second moto, but a first-moto,
crash-induced DNF put him out of the
picture.
Janet Borg also brought home a firstplace finish to Logan, Utah, after a win
in the Women's class. Ellen Voermans
was closest to Borg, netting second.
Cathy Robarge,
Debbie Weller and Linda Ziegler
filled the top five.
