Ken Zahrt got out in front in the beginning of the second moto only to be passed in the back straight by Payne, who held on with Zahrt right behind and Oswell· coming in third. In the third moto Payne got off to a bad start but by the third lap was back in second pu tling the pressure on Zahrt.

CRC MX at Indian Dunes a subsidiary of Yamof,a International Corporation, 6610 Orarrgethorpe-Avenue, Bueno Pork, California 90620 By The Shadow H VALENCIA, CAL., AUG. 28 Simi Valley Jaycees Motocross at Muntz Cycle Park . By Karl Drews MOORPARK, CAL., SEYf. 2 Despite the Labor Day weekend the fourth annual Simi Valley Jaycees Motocross at Muntz Cycle Park had good attendance. The efficient Jaycees, all wearing orange wind breakers, gave the race an official look. One of the projects the Jaycees are sponsoring is a statewide motorcycle safety drive, trying to get people to wear helmets when they ride. Between the second and third motos they raffled off two Premier helmets. All three motos at tile 250 Junior event were dominated by Steve Pinneli (Yam) on a new YZ. The real racing was going on about twenty feet behind him between Joe Suevert (CZ) and Gene Maple (Hon). The YZ took an early lead in the second mota with Foster Chase (Suz) in second and Maple third. Maple got by Chase on the fourth lap. Meanwhile, Suevert had ridden his CZ into third place and in the last lap he took second with Maple right behind. Normality was the only way to describe the Tuesday night California Racing Club encounter under the lights on the super·neat International course. It's getting to be the same old story, bu t "nonn" again meant 200·competitors. It's beginning to look like Tuesday nights are a "stuck record" for the CRC, as the 200 mark. was achieved right off the bat, and that is about where it has held since the very beginning. This Tuesday night, 11 Experts and 13 Intermediates made things at least interesting for the spectators. Top riders in the three Expert classes were Russell McAfee, riding somethmg the CRC scorekeepers forgot to list, placing fust at 125 Expert; Tom Bates (CZ), placing first at 250 Expert; and Bob Schwartz (BS), a winner at Open Expert. Intermediate competition found Brad Williams (Hon), the number one man at 125cc, while Mike Sixberry (CZ), surprised everybody in the park in capturing the 250cc encounter. As for the Novice encoun ters, Mike Johnston (Yam), grabbed first at 100 Novice; Jim Tassano (Hon), cal'tured the 125 Novice race; Bob Vege (Hon), finished first at 250 Novice; and Steve Smith (Suz), I:!"abbed a first place at Open Novice.
