Mld",t, FL 305 1634 4582 Tele x 68 11 154 V FHON Gi ! SUNNYMEAD . CA , JUNE I After spending most of eight months in p laster, FMF's Gary Ogden made his return to moto · cross last week at DeAnza Cycle Park. " It's been a long time , so don't laugh too hard when you see me ride," Ogen said jokingly before practice. . At race time , however , nobody was laughing. Ogden rocketed his 250cc Suzuki past Scott Quick (Suz) on the first lap and got a firm grip on the lead. Darrell Lum b att is (Mai) latched on to Ogden's rear finder early in the race and st a rted putting on the pressure. In the meantime, Danny Bu rtt (Suz) was challenging Q uick for third place. The two Redl a nds Suzuki riders diced back and forth for several laps before Q u ick gave in to Bu rtt's charge. After 'tha t , both riders had to be satisfied where they were because the leaders were just too far gone. Ogden was still in the lead , but Lumbattis was making it hard work for him . For the rest of the race Ogden held off the determined Maico pilot to win the race by a hair. The next moto was more of the same . Ogden grabbed the holeshot with Lumbattis righ t behind. They elbowed a nd bumped ea ch ot he r la p after lap . but Ogden always held the lead . At one point , Lurnbatr is lowsided and lost som e tim e. This gave only a brief respi te to Ogden , who slacked off jus t a little bit too mu ch and let Lumba tti s ca tch back up . At th e fin ish line , ho wever, it was still Ogden wh o le d t h e parade ahead o f Lumbattis, Burtt, Quick and Phillip Thorstens on (H on) . In th e 125cc Expert class , it was Craig Dale (Suz) who took tap money.' In mota one , he got th e holeshot and started to pull awa y. Craig Gormley (Ya m ), riding for Yamaha of In d io , held down a strong secon d place u ntil he overshot a turn, giving the spot to Todd Bal dwin (Suz) . Gormley ca me around in fifth place , but before lo ng, he was picking off riders left and right. By the fourth lap , Gormley was back in second place a nd catching Dale. T he race ended , however, before Gromley was in striking distance . Later. Gormley was protested for not entering the track in the same spot where he ra n off on the second lap . For th is, he was moved back to fourth place behind Dale, Bald win and Matt Devich (Suz) . He made his comeback,' however, in the second rnoto, Da le got the holeshot once more, but Gormley was rig ht behind. Fo r ten laps , they battled for to p posit ion. Go rm ley finally saw an opening and put it to use in the last half of the race. Devich and Baldwin were ha ving a close one too. but Devic h got. the upper hand when Ba ld win crashed and bent his b ra ke lever. T he order as they crossed the finis h line was Gormley, Dale, Devich a nd Bal dwin . The final standi ngs were , the sa m e with Dale and Gormley reversed . Results MINI BEG: 1.
