Cole, who rides for Steve's Bultaco, proved th at the Honda ranks can be penetrated and that th e new Bul, in the right hands, must pose a threat. Even a bigger surprise was Bill Barlow (Hon) . coming out ahead of Greg Robertson (C-A). Barlow's job was made a lillie easier when Robertson's bike wouldn't run properly. When Greg Robertson is riding in top form he is almost unbeatable. The 250 Pro class proved to be no exception as he scored back to back wins in both motos. Hal Strauss (Mai), after a long absence from ' motocross, showed up with a ' new Cole Bros. Maico for a strong second overall. Strauss was followed closely by Mark Hateley (Suz). Arnold Comproni (Mai) continues to be the dominating force in the 250 Intermediate class. Comproni's heaviest threat was that of Bob Turney (Mai) who also rides for Cole Bros. Turney' proved to be fast and consistent in hounding Comproni the en tire distance but Comproni's experience enabled him to hold off Tumey and take first overall Andy J annings (Mai) cruised to an easy win in the 500 Pro class , followed by Donny Hansen (Mai). Hansen, after an absence of nearly six months due to injuries, seemed to really enjoy himself and was pleased-to finish second. • lunde r new management!
