VALENCIA, CA L., MAY 2
The ' m anagem en t and race committee me mbers pu t together a
very safe and fun Mini Shad ow
Glen course, but the mud hole
took its toll at times as many riders
were found with their b ack wheels
buried beyond ' the axles. Plen ty of
racing was enjoyed by al l, and even the
women and kids ran a full three moto
program. It 's a little difficult t o go
ho me and co mplain about how tired
you are when yo u r wife rides as long
. and hard as you do .
The hotly co n tested Expert clas s was
won , but not too easily , b y th e n orth's
Man iac Mike. Tim go t a lit tle tacky in
the first moto and had to settle for a
second while Corroded Carlos, probably
the most improved rider in the cl u b ,
came up with a third.
Intermediates
were smoked
by
northerner Daisy Dave as Chunky
Chuck, after starting all the races with
the help of Wdnie Wayne, worked into
second. Petrified Pete gave him o ne
. heck of a battle but had to take the
third backseat ,
. Tipsy Tom put the Dung on Dennis
for a first and second in the Novice class
with Redneck Rex settling in for third.
Now the Gorgeo us o ne, George fro m
th e north, barely squeezed a Begin ner
win away fro m Toilet T om from the
south.
Mini Mike's wife told him to sit down
and score and she would t ak e ca r" o f
the racing, she did, with a win . Hanky
Herb will have to co m e home from
work ea rly en o ug h t o d o the d ishes and
washing, as Lady Hanky ca me up wit h a
second, She says she never ra ced before
b ut we've already heard that story.
Kids under I 2 were led by Doug
Ford, fol lowed by Richard and Mike
Romero . Kids 12 an d over we re led by
Jack Carpenter, Recy cled Ralph's boy .

Since the Dirt Diggers were . at
Elsinore p racticing for the Dinosaur race the folIowing morning, a
special race was held for them.
Bruce Johnson, aboard a 400 Yamaha,
held the lead for two laps but Tony
Epperson, on a·500 Yamaha, came from
third to take the win. Bruce fini shed
second and Mitch Shook, also aboard a
500 Yamaha, was third.
Rick Blankenship had his work cu t
out for him in the 125 Beginner class as
the 14-year-old won a hard fought
battle against David Cote. Besides the
trophy he picked u p a new Novice
rating.
The Mini Begin ners an d Novices ran
together with one trophy awa rded. Jeff
Eary is becoming a no t too novice
Novice an d p ro ved it by taking the
checkers every mot o. Little Russell
Brown,
the
yo ungest
rider
at
six-years-old, held the lead for two laps,
but Eary m ad e short wo rk of it. Brian
Pierce sees aw ed back an d fort h fro m

Zehner blasted out front to ta ke the
win. Gary Smith ca m e from wa y ba ck in

Taylor & Vidic win '
streaks scratched
By Tom Blattler
IR WIN DALE, CAL. , MA Y 7
Two winning streaks were broken
in the weekly CMC night m otocross p ro gram as David T aylor and
Jeff Vidic fou nd bike trouble,
crashes, and tough competition holding
them b ack fr om another victory in the
125 an d 250 Pro classes. Taylor saw his
best friend, teammate and arch rival
Gary Denton take home the top 125
Pro money, while Vidic had to settle for
third overal l behind Dave Carlson and
Val Tamietti in the 250s.
Taylor and Denton battled into the
first comer for the lead only this time
David came up e mpty-handed when he
slid out. Denton went on to claim the
first five-lap mota over Honda-mounted
Cliff Lett and Dave Pessy,
Mota two found Taylor attempting
to make up ground after his tenth pl ace
finish in the firs t race b ut David
couldn't catch up to the high -flying
Denton. Third went again to Pessy with
John Atwood (Yam ) taking his second
co nsecutive fo urth posi tion.
In the fi na l m ota, Den ton scored a
clean sweep a nd Taylor's fo ur-week win
st reak was history. Taylor had dr o pped
out wi th b ike trouble and second overall
went to Pessy fo llowed by Atwood.
Vi d ic's win ni ng st reak was sh o t down
as Davey Carlson re tu rned to Irwindale
for t he first time in over a month to
cap tu re the first two motos and coast to
a third -in the fina l. CMC poin t lead er
Val Tamietti rode his Track 'n Travel
Maico to a firs t, second and th ird place
finish in each mota and just barely beat
out Vid ic for se cond ov erall . J e ff , wh o
placed second tw ice a nd third on ce, had
to settle for th ird.
