Canyon re-opens Imbriale sets pace By Larry Owen PHOENIX, ARIZ., SEPT. 12 After a scant summer MX series (due to some unknown person or persons cutting down the lights and lightpoles at Canyon Raceway) daytime races resumed with a resp ectable turnout and high temperatures. John Imbriale (Hus) an nihilated the 125 Pros, while T. J. . Warren (Mon) turned two consistent motos into the overall win in the 250 Pro class . Only two Open Ex perts made a showing and Robert Brazil easily took the overall on his new (trick) KTM . Larry Owen (Hon) got out in front of the 125 Pros for half a lap, but quickly settled into third as 1mbriale blew by him for first, fo llowed by Andy Frola (Hon) in second.

Racers are often surprised by track changes and tonight one whole new section by the starting line was certainly something that took everyone awhile to get the hang of. Without a doubt, there's a total Yamaha 80 MX domination in mini-cycle racing here at Ascot. Yamaha machines captured the first four places in Mini Expert action tonight. Usual rivals were snuffed back into follow-up positions by overall trophy winner Eddie Glover (Yam), who outraced the Flying Machine Factory duo of Rick Atkins and Bob Ott. There isnt any single hotshoe dominating the 250 Junior class yet. Certainly n ot to the point where an outsider can't come in and take the winning honors. This was proven by tonight's winner J eff Feinberg. The Maico ace has certainly taken his share of wins at other night racing tracks, but Ascot could be considered a new experience to him. Jeff flew to straight wins and the' overall ahead of 14 other finishers, Second and third place went to Greaves (Yam) and Seagraves (Yam) while Kawasaki competitor Jim Kesler won a fine fourth. • Results in REsults Section. ~J"mmiflllll!!IIf!lIllf!l!!I!!II!IIIII"~ . =-- ~.. - we Malcolm S mith 7563 Ind iana R ivenicle, CA 92504 II Dan Zeman, owner of Suzuki ' of Van Nu ys, California's No. I volume Suzuki dealer will be the 1977 Suzuki selling otorcycles at super low prices in the same fashion he did on the ' 76 models, Dan says that if you would like to save lots of money on a Suzuki you should call him for his super low price.
