Palmgren Surges To Edge Markle In Expert Final
Larry Palmgren overcame a 20 foot false start penalty to overtake Bart Markle on the ninth lap in the expert class final. Markle blamed his subpar performance on a borrowed California-based bike and boxed start, while Palmgren described catching him on the inside at the first corner as the key move. Local rider Skip Grigsby, age 25, struggled to finish last in his elimination race amid stiff competition and a blown head gasket.
