Jason Abbolt Paui arpcnler 2nd Dahners came in with a comfortable margin over Morris who rode a consistent and fast pace after his first-lap misfortune. Sampson collected the fifth spot as he passed Patterson on the last lap. After checking lap times it was o,bvious Sampson was the fastest rider on the track - he just spotted the leaders a little too much of a headstart. Harvey Whitaker rode his Team Green KLX to the Open A top spot, while Mark Thurman game,ed second on his green machine. Tony Hendon put his Suzuki RMX out front and took home top honors in 250cc A action. ·Perry's Kawasaki boss Wade Perry took his KX to a respectable runner-up finish in that class. . Todd Boone and Cody Maxwell raged all race long in the Four-Stroke A class, as they have the whole series, and finished in that order. Without a doubt the closest race of the day Was in t/"te 250cc B class li>etween Andy Shea and Rod Lyonhurst. ''I'm pretty disappointed," Shea said. "I led the whole race and then on the last lap just three turns from the finish, 1 tangled with a lapped rider and went down. He (Lyonhurst) was close enough to get by before 1got going." Four-Stroke B competitor Marty Michels put his Honda XR250 out to the early lead until an unfortunate get-off at the end of the first lap netted him a few cracked ribs, but still soldiered on to take fourth in the class. Billy Proffit and Roger Hendon were the top competition on their XRs as they finished in that order. Gallie Ward on his Spot Cycle's Racing Yamaha took top honors in the Senior A class, while Bill Hall on his Yamaha stayed close to take runner-up honors. Sammy Gosnell handled 'the 125B class by keeping his Yamaha on the pipe all day long. Jimmy Bates stayed close to gamer second.
