really been going st rong lately but the
Mini Expert class has lacked
participants.
. However: the night's show was very
strong since most of the event s had full
starting lines. The Mini Intermediate
competition was really roosted by
young R ick Jackson who should be an
expert as soon as possible because he
has taken a good portion of the CMC
first place trophies. The R&D Raci ng
Engine shop is starting to be a
standard of the industry - Jackson
was sporting a ~&D machine and he
was out-powering them in every moro .
His quick Suzuki swept th rough all of
the three rnotos . Pete. Hollack (Suz)
was the :unner-up with a 2-6-2 tally
for the night. Capturing third was
Greg McConnell on a Yamaha .

It's not even cold yet and the
times are really getting close to
what is expected in January an d
February. Eddie Lawson, who
ca me up with a grand slam for the
eveni ng , set a sizzling 22 .47 in the
Open Expert half m ile. His reco rd is
22 .24 set last January. In the Open
Exp erts. Eddie ca me off on top wit h
Dorothy Rowe and David Skirvin in
the two , three spots. Rob Selvy moved
into contention by passing Skirvin on'
lap two and a match race between
Rowe and Selvy was in the offing.
Dorothy had the power but Selvy had
the tenaciousness of a bull dog and
stayed right with her until the white
flag lap when he just got by her
enough for second.
The Money half mile saw a real go
for the dough between Lawson and
Pee Wee Gleason . It was Lawson again
off on top with Gleason and Joe Steffen
right behind him and - surprise,
surprise - Lawson did not run off and
-leave Gleason as he has been known to
do on more than one occ asion. Joe
Steffen had third for two laps before
Ammex-mounted Terry Singleton got
by h im . Two laps later Stan Kinse y.
aboard another Butch Silva Yamaha,
took over third and Steffen started
making his comeback, moving by
Singleton into fourth . When the
checkered came out it was Lawson,
Gleason and Kinsey, or a Butch Silva
Yama ha san dwich with Ha rleyDavidson for the filler .
To finish off his triple header,
Lawson climbed aboard Todd Brown 's
250 Yamaha an d went for the gold in
th e Expert half mile. It was H -Dmounted Don Tortorelli that out
gunned L awson off the line but •
Lawson passed Tortorelli coming low
.out of turn four. Terry Singleton,
getting faster every week, was a close
third with Eddie San Rom a n fourth
until Rob Selvy got by . On lap three,
San Roman was out with a sick
machine and John Lundgren moved
int o his slot. On lap four Selvy drag
raced Singleton on the front side and
was looking for Tortorelli. It took him
three more laps to get him and it was
almost too late as the checkered came
out as he edged by .
Dan McWhorter had his name on
the Money TT and it was his from the
drop of the flag . Joe Steffen came off
in the second slot with Washington's
Sonny Bu rres. out for some practice. in
third. Nobody was able to change
order.
Burres did not leave Corona emptyhanded as he picked up the gold in the
O pen Expert TT. Bu rres was in
complete command and David Skirvi n
kept running into trouble with the
second and third turns, loo king more
the motocross rider than third p lace
Don Glover. The second lap saw
Skirvin take himself out and Glover
with his distinctive MX style moved
int o second. He got no furth er buthe
sure let Burres know he was there .
Dylan Neihart did aw ay with the
250 Expert TT with the same ease
