     A full schedule of vintage motocross class's, using a traditional cushion oval with a TT style infield track and jump was the sight of an open traction TT. This annual event is held at Tulare Cycle Park the day before the last AHRMA National Motocross of the year.
    The plus 60 rides all rode the same main event with expert Wayne Sumner, on his booming Triumph, the overall winner. Intermediate winner Jim Cooke was second overall, and BSA mounted novice rider, Ralph Porzelt was third at the checker. Don Howard was aboard Marsh Runyon's H-D TT machine, but was not able to haul in Rick Hollenbeck in the Modern Support Expert race. Blayne Hollenbeck finished in the third spot as both Hollenbecks rode Suzuki's.  Sportsman 250 intermediate Jerry Lessley passed Chris Pietrzyk at mid race for the class win. Jerry Lessley's brother Casey was could not get around Cliff Nagatani in the Sportsman 250 novice race and had to settle for second. Eighteen racers signed up for Modern Support novice class, so two full heats and mains were run. Davy Owen won his main flag to flag, but Ron Mayfield had to pass Tim Moore for his win.
