Calliontia 90070 1 31699-9951 21 ~ By Maureen Lee ELSINORE, CAL., AUG. 1 A D istrict 37 scrambles on a Friday night is a bit unusual but so as not to subject riders to summer daytime heat or conflict with the weekly Saturday night TT, the Gripsters opted for one and it was neat ! . Just for signing up you got a present like fork oil or chain lube, while class winners at the end of the night were given more goodies. Arthur Junker got a good set of tie downs and Jim Redding an alloy. loading ramp, while mini winner Todd Brown was happy wi th a S10 gift certificate from Long Beach Honda. The 125 Novices were th e biggest gang in town, with heats to run ins tead of motos, First heat Jim Speigle (Yam ) and J oe Steffan (Yam) settled first and second spot with good racing. Second heat, Danny Perkins (Hon ) tumbled, came ba ck on the restart to run up fr on t w ith Dave Jenkins (Hon ) and Carl Wh itt (Y Z). The semi had J eff Wright (Yam ) trying h ard to ge t first place away fro m Robin Loomis (Yam ) and one pie plate ride r brought a ye ll from th e stands as he m issed the firs t turn, went wide and almost landed in th e tires way at th e top of the h ill before he could stop . Jenkins, St effan, and Perkins mixed it up for th e lead in the main and toward th e end Steffen nearly ticked Danny 's rear wheel as he'd try to go under, but he couldn 't quite comple te the pass. Good racing! It was bu siness as usual in th e 125 Junior-Expert division. Mike Tidwell (Y Z) was the winner, but not wi th ou t eluding Gordie Kidd (Yam ), Wayne Rainey (Ho n ), and Steve Woskoski (YZ). But for sheer letting it all hang out, it was Charlie Summers (YZ) , second overall, especially in his third race with Rainey. Friday night that 500-Open Novice class was more fun to watch than the Experts. First it was Earl Parker (Yam) just flying, with Ken Owen (Tri) really working to get to second then losing it to Redding. Parker was uncatchable. Next round it was Wayne Melanson (Yam) into the lead and Redding right with him. My note reads "C-Z goes like hell .. . great battle," it was, too . Redding holeshot the last heat with Parker right with him, but the flying Parker dropped back as Steve Jones (Yam) got himself all together and just shot up th rough the pack. Th e Op en Junior /Experts had a go od time too. It was a three-way go bet wee n th e Yamahas of J im Wright, Steve Miller, and Gripster Doug Hannon. In the second round Rick Marquis (Hon) wen t under Mike Boyle (BSA) and just p lain clobbered him, bending Mike 's brake ou t of shape and dumping his o wn ch ain in the p rocess. Don 't know how, but I didn 't get home with the 500 Expert results, bu t I go t en ough out of the old note bo o k to - - - TOP END REBU ILD KITS - -- - - - - - - --'---'-"- -'-'-- ----- Includ es - pi stons. rmgs , pist o n p in , cucbps . small end bea n ngs. cylinde r he ad gaskel and cyli nder base gask et.
