There was 600 dollars ready to be taken home for the top Pro riders that made it out to De Anza today. The racing was fantastic, with the 250 class being the first Pros to hit the track. At the start, Keith Patten got the hole shot, followed by Dave Williams and Ray Topham. Going into the second turn, Patten fell back to third when he got a little crossed up going into the turn. Up in front, Williams put distance between him self and the rest of the field to take the first moto win, with Topham holding down second, and moving into third after Patten went out with scooter troubles was Richard Franklin. Russell McAfee came from a dead last start to take fourth at the finish.
The second and final moto Williams once again took the race from start to finish to take home top money in the class. Topham held down second again for second spot money. Clark Jones took third this time around, but with a poor first moto finish couldn't get in the money. Third spot money went to Franklin with a 3-5 finish.Tim Wyant ran away with the first moto of the Open Pro class on his Holladay Cycles Maico, but the second time around he had a few problems and had to settle for sixth in the moto and third spot money. Craig Adams was the top money winner in the class with a 3-1 tally. Dennis Hazelett took home second place cash with a consistent 2-2 ride. Mark Kiefer missed out on the money by only one point with two fourth place rides to his credit.
David Williams came back in the 125 Pro class and made a clean sweep of the class with no one even close enough to see the back of his bike. Rick Stout and Dennis Hazelett were behind Williams hooking bars and using each other for traction, with Stout taking the last moto to pick up second place money and Hazelett the well earned third place cash. Larry Repley was fourth on his Honda.
The Intermediates were really cooking today with Randy Monroe taking the 125 class. David Oiler was cookin, but went out for the day.
