Paul Wilde and Scott Qu ick were awarded high point trophies for being the most successful riders over the last three months at DeAnza Cycle Pa rk . Ed Michetti presented the trophies at the riders' meeting Sunday and after that it was race time. The 250cc Pro class held one of the closest duels ever seen at DcA nza 'bet wee n DG 's Steve Bauer (H on ) and FMC's Robbie Brand (Ya m) . Brand grabbed the early lead in mota one with Scott Quick (Suz) and Bauer right behind. On the second lap . Bauer passed Quick and then had first place dropped into his lap when Brand fell . Bra nd was quick enough about getting remouted and was now right behind Danny J ea n (Suz) . who was in second . On the fourth lap . Brand got around Jean. but he was still too far behind Bauer to be a real threa t. In the meantime. Quick had dropped ou t of the race. moving Phillip Thorstenson (Hon ) into fourth ahead of Danny Dilkey (Suz) . The halfway point in the race saw Brand closing in on Bauer. but all of his work went down the 'd ra in when he ran off the track , allowing Bauer to disappear in the distance and Jean to move into second. Once again Bra nd got on the gas and passed Jean and closed in on Bauer. He just couldn't get the act straight , however, and in the last laps he went down a third time and Jean crusied by into second. The 'ord er in the first moto was Bauer. Jean. Brand, Thortenson and Dilkey. The real action started in the second moto. Bauer shot into the lead . but Brand passed him on the second lap . Bauer wasn't abou t 10 let him stav in front so he repassed the Yamaha pilot on the next lap. The two riders were all over the track trying to stay ahead of one another and most of the time it was unsure just who did have the lead . On the sixt h lap . Brand put the move on Bauer once more, but Bauer squeezed underneath Brand aft er a short while. They went back and forth like that for most of the race . but Bauer always seemed to come out on top. In the very last laps. Bran d seemed to slack off a. little. perhaps realizing that the best he cou ld do was seco nd overa ll no matte r what he did in this moto . T he finis hi ng order was Bauer, Bra nd , Thorstenson, Dilkey and Jea n . The 125cc Pros had another close one. Danny Bu rtt (Suz) usually campaigns a 250cc but he decided to give small bores a try this week . Ea!ly in moto one , he was locked in batt le with Tad Ba ld win whil e Robert Gray (Yam ) and Craig Gormley (Yam) were dicing for the lead . Gormley dropped out of the race with a flat tire on the fifth lap . giving Gray a big lead . Baldwin held off Burtt until the last two laps. then he gave in to the pressure. The order as they crossed the finish line was Gray. Bu rtt . Ba ldwin , Dave Rose (Su z) and Tracy Travis (Ya m). At th e start of the next moro . Baldwin and Gr~y fell in th e first tu rn. taking them both out for th e day. Gormley was in the lead , ahead of Rose and Burtt . On lap three . Burtt passed Rose and began closing on Gormley. Ab out at the halfwav po int . Burtt's advance stopped and he began 'to slow down . He knew that he was sitting on first overa ll so he was happy to stay where he was . The overall resu lts had Burtt on top followed by Gormley. Rose and Baldwin . Results MIN I BEG: 1. Larry Lawr ence (Yam): 2. Roman Pieescn: 2. Terry Knigh t (Ya ml. MINI NOV: 1. Dave Fre...
