gro uped by class and run five -lap motos on the m ile-and -a-ha lf course. Th e first race of the day had probably the bes t lap -by -lap du el of the aftemoon. Garry M ay f ield and Roger Gann er , both rid ing 50 0cc Triumph twins, t reated th e specta to rs to so me aw es om e wh eel -to-wheel racin g , and it didn 't hurt on e bit that th ose Tr iumph s sounded so sw eet o n th e st ra ig hta ways! For fi ve lap s they dice d it up , nev er m or e th an tw o or three b ik e le ngths apart an d ch angi ng lead at least a dozen t im es, mayb e m ore. At the fini sh, th ey we re in a dead -even tie! Needless to say, both rid ers earne d gold m edals, and also th e lou dest chee ring of the aft ern oon.

For th e first lap or so it looked like Mungenast was going to give Fredette a run fo r his money , but the wily ISDT vet soon stuffed him in a corne r and neve r showed hi m anything but rear fend er from there on out. On ce past Mungenast, Fredette set h is si g h t s on jumping th e dit ch , no s i m p le fea t as it la y ju st b e yond a 120-d egr ee turn . O n th e third lap, he went fo r it , smacked th e far side hard, and wh eeli ed away. Mungenast, not to be o ut do n e, gassed it and laun c h ed his big-bore Husky rig ht beh ind Fre dette's KDX.
