ASCOT MOTOCROSS TOUGH ON PAYNE, P.ESSY ~ uJ Z uJ ..J U >- U Dave Pessey (58) and Ron Frescura (44) try a sandwiched pass on Mike Higashi. By Eric Raits GARDENA, CAL., Oct. 29, 1971 Usual Ascot mo tocross stalwarts Bill Payne and Dave Pessy had a tougH nigh t at the Gardena track to nigh t. Payne and Pessy were involved in separate crashes which put them out of racing for the night. Pessy was taken to Gardena Memorial for observation but returned before the chilly night was over to watch the goings-on with a pale face. Payne left the track with a little help from friends and retired for the evening. AU the happiness was in Jeff Wright's camp. Wright, as he has done nearly all year, easily won the 125 Expert class and ended up top point winner for the Ascot season. Wright and friends celebrated the $750 nrst prize with a Settin9 up for the turn. champagne party in the decidedly beer-like Ascot atmosphere after the races were over. Tom Cook and Joe Scotland put up some resistance to Wrigh t with Cook winning the first moto but Wright wasn't headed in the last two. Cook and Scotland finished two-three in the 125 Expert class. Danny Hockie had the 250 class to himself with Pessy out. Hockie enjoyed 300 yard leads most of the night and beat Al Baline and Jay Peacock. Mike Todd found easy pickings in the 500 class after Payne's accident. Brian Lendl got up from tangling in the crash which sent Pessy to the hospital to fmish second. Intermediates Greg Owen and Ron Frescura were third and fourth overall as Experts and Intermediates ran c;e~lidillS ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES combined. Rod Davis had three strong wins in the 125 Intermediate class for a clear WID. The 250 Intermediates were hardly a model of consistency. Chris Forbes ended up on top after Darrel Wood and Dave O'Haver fought each other for the apparent win. O'Haver and Wood were nearly tied for the win coming into the last moto but Wood never made it to the starting line, discovering a flat rear tire as he got ready to go for the third moto. O'Haver finished too far back to dislodge any of the top three. Woods nnish ed second overall in. his first Intermediate ride while another recent graduate from the Junior ranks, Joe Johnston took third.
