The B Class winners were John Orzechowski first, Tim Rubright second and Bob Tyo third.
Eric Lux turned the fastest time during the race and led for most of the race. The fast time allowed him to burn more fuel than number two Robert Mitten and on the last lap he ran out of gas. A Class winners were Robert Mitten first, Don Soenen second and Eric Lux third.
The only bent metal of the weekend was Ed Bull's #77. During Sundays race he was in hot pursuit of Don Soenen. Coming through the laces of the boot he lost control and hit the tire wall. Here was the damage.
A series of pictures were taken at the toe of the boot, turn one, the front straight and the top of the esses. Click here for the pictures.
