Riding with an injured knee, Dave Roper topped the 500cc Premier class. also cut one lap short to allow the ambulance onto the track. The only other rider to score wins in three classes was Kurt Dimick, another Yamaha pilot. Dimick's most impressive victory came in the eight-lap Open Superbike class. Dimick got a poor start and was in fifth place on lap three. Just three laps later, Dimick had moved past Rod Brueske for the lead, and he then pulled away to the win. Aaron Merriman also worked up from a bad start to finish second. Yamaha-pilot Merrimen finished runner-up in each of the three races that Hough won. "I needed a new rear tire, but I didn't realize how bad it was/' said Merriman. "It was definitely a dangerous track, but they did the best they could under the circumstances, and it was fun." . Dimick scored his other two wins in the Race of the Rockies G TV and Middleweight Superbike classes. CN Results DIRT TRACK MDRN V1NT 250: 1. Jim Lorington (Yam); 2. Frank Hardman. (Yam); 3.
