siz a b le le ad o ver Mc Kenna and, afte r 22
minutes of great action, won moto number five
and the overall victory. McKenna was second,
and Hybarge r was third .
At the othe r end of the scale , in the Over 70
Expert class, Sie rra ride r Gene Hrobsky took
the overall win after a tough four-moto battle
with Max Goode. O n Saturday, Tony Armada
and Gene "Higgi" Higginbot ham played their
usual game of cat -and-mouse for third overall,
with Higgi doing better in bo th motos. Armada
had the last laugh on Sunday, bettering Higgi in
both mo tos and taking the final podium place .
Pat Smith of Idaho was the big winner in the
Ove r 50 Expe rts . Jer ry Winkelbaue r of Sierra,

Don "Re con'' Ro hmann, racing w ith the
team from Sierra, really put it to the Over 40

third . Watch out for Paul Armada (fony's son) .
who placed fourth overall; He had some flashes
of speed on a borrowed Yamaha 450 in mo tos

making Rohmann catc h up. Maybe the re will be
two Masters.
