NOTES: 
A rainout which turned into a day show, with rodeo like results, greeted the fans at Yuma. The rough track made for some entertaining rides by all drivers as they tried to harness their four wheel mounts around the 3/8 mile sun blistered track. 

Lealand outlasted the track and the competition as he found his groove wherever the #91 car led him. 

On Lap 8 of the Main, Jack Hewitt made contact with Richard Griffin on the Front Straight and flipped. Also involved were Ron Shuman and Brad Noffsinger. Griffin and Hewitt dropped out, while Shuman and Noffsinger restarted at the back. Shuman ended up taking third from Sweeney coming to the checkered flag.

The Bromme Sprinter, driven by Billy Boat, made a valiant attempt to pass the eventual winner, but caught the wall in turn three late in the race, and flew softly over it to land on his cage. Billy was unhurt, but put on a whale of a show up until then.

Mike Kirby in the Danny Pivovaroff #59 made second place his home with a good drive.

Cary Faas went thru the pack at least twice, finally finishing sixth.
