Victorville/
Redlands match
race at CRC 395
MX
By Ron Lawson
ADELANTO . CA . OCT. 25
Every' now and then, two cycle
shops will get together with all
their riders and have a match
race. The result is a lot of fun for
everyone involved. That is exactly
wh at th e owner of Victorville Suzuki
had in mind when he talked with Lane
Hodgin of Redlands Suzuki. Both
parties thought it was a great id ea and
plans were soon being made. The first
meeting of th e four race series wou ld
be at 595 Cycle Park. Victorville's
home ground, and following ra ces
would alternate between 595 and
DeAnza Cycle Pa rk in Sunnymead.
Th e Redland r iders displayed
enthusiasm and 19 of them showed up
in enemy te rritory , all wearing
identica l shop jerseys and all ridin g
Su zukis . Victo ri vlle, although less
uniform and not as well organized,
was prepared with 24 riders.
The first moto of 250 Pro action
started with Dave Ohl (Red / Suz)
grabbing the holeshot. Jim Fishback
(400 Yam) . who was forced to ride
with the 250s because of a lack of
Open Pros, took the .lead from Ohl
before one lap was done. On la p two ,
Ohl fell , allowing Mike Brown
(Vict/ Suz) 10 get int the 250 class lead.
The race continued and Victorville
pushed their way to the front of the
pack , displaying their superior
knowledge of the track . By lap four ,
t he top rid ers were ( ex cl u d in g
Fishback); Brown , Don Simon ian
( V ictiSu z) and Tyrone Brown
(Vict /C-A) . Fishback stayed out in
front for th e entire race with Mike
Brown remaining in th e lead of the
250s. With two laps to go , Tyrone
Brown passed Simonian for secon d .
In roun d two , Fishback sta rted ou t
in front. Fish ba ck was, once again .
just riding with the 250s , not racing
against them . So the 250 lead was in
the hands of Simonian: who was
holding off Mik e Brown . Tyron e
Brown was holding down third . T he
order stayed th at wa y ' until lap 12.
wh en Fishback dropped out with a
derailed chain. Simonian went on to
the moto win followed by Mike then ,
Tyrone Brown. Dave Ohl was in
fourth . In the overall standings , it was
a Victorville sweep . top money going
to Mike Brown, then Simonian and
Tyrone. Ohl fin ished in fourth overall:
just out of th e money. Larkin Wight.
an Open Intermediate on a Yamaha
IT endu ro, mingled with the leaders in
th e second rnoto , riding in the lead for
several laps. He too wa s scored
separately.
Redlands got back in the 125 Pro
race. Clint Carman (Red/Suz) took
top placings in both motos with
Andrew Jefferson (Vier/ Sus) taking
second . Redlands also took the 250
Intermediate class (Danny Burtt) and
the 250 Beginner class (Gary Merrill) .
Victorville had wins in the 250 Novice
cla ss (Lee Granlee), th e Open Novice
clas s (Wayne Dohrman) and th e 125
Intermediate class (Den nis Crea son ).
Who won ? It was SO close that a
winner would be hard to ch oose. If'
hairs a re split, then th e first round
would probabl y go to Victo rvill
because of their 250 Pro domination.
But th ere are still three races to go :'
two of th em at DeAnza , which is
Redlands' home ground .
