Wosick flies to
another Fremont
double
By Paul Castoro
FREMONT, CA, AUG. 4
With the temperature reaching
into the high 80's the crowds
came out to CMC's Fremont Friday night stadium-cross to enjoy
some first class mote-action. When the
crowd left , everybody was talking
about Trans-Am Motorsports rider
Larry Wosick, as he dazzled both
125cc and Open Pros with some sano
riding for a perfect four moto win
sweep.
Honda-mounted Jeff Jacobson led
the charge of the sparse line up of
250cc Pros with Joe Headley keeping
Jeff Honest.
. In the big bike class, 'the only rider
capable of staying close to Wosick was
Petaluma Cycle . rider John Gennai.
This was Gennai's first motocross race
of the year and he really did well,
claiming a firm second behind Wosick
in both of tonight's ,Open motos.
Maico riders claimed the top three
spots with Wosick ' scoring .(1 -1),
Gennai (2-2) and Robert Gongdon (33).
Resuming the 125cc Pro wars where '
. they left off last week saw Wosick
(Suz), Cady ' (Suz) .and Woods (Suz)
slug it out. Santa Cruz's Ken Woods
and Jenson Cycle Shawn Cady both
pulled the second moto holeshot with
Larry Wosick on his T-A-M Suzuki a
close third .. At the halfway mark
yopng Woods seemed to be tiring and
Cady and Wosick flew by. Wosick was
tI)'.ing every trick he knew to get by,
but the sly Cady blocked everything
Wosick threw at him. When the white
flag went out Wosick went WFO and
literally stuffed his RM under Cady's
machine and passed Shawn for the
overall win . .
