As usual "Rocket Rex" Staten was in top form as he showed the Pros how it 's do ne in bot h the 250cc and O pen Pro Divisions. The first moto of the 250cc class saw DG's Steve Bauer go ou t on top with Staten and hi s Basse tt Yamaha second and Lance Bu rgess from Hemet Cycle in third. By the second lap Sta ten had control of the situation but credit should be give n to Ba uer who hung right in there and stayed awfully close. John Greenway, another DG rider. worked his way 'from sixth to the third place slot as the white flag came out. With one more lap to go he held off Burgess to claim the third. The second mota saw Staten get right down to business and take it wire to wire with Bauer and John Silva in his wake. The overall was of course, St a t e n with Bauer second and Greenway. with a 3-4, a comfortable third. Staten was the only one in the Open Pro class that didn 't have any problems as he went an easy two for two. Ba uer was off second in the first mot a in what looked to be a n instant replay . He held on to th at seco nd until the last la p when Robert Marino fro m M.C . Rep air slipped by him to take the seco nd aw ay. In the second mota P aul Sedler and his Maico put a loc k on second off th e line and no on e could dis lodge him . Yamaha mounted Andy Bolander d id . basically the sa me thing to third and they played follow the leader to the checkered. Ag ain the overall went to Staten with Greg Eargle , " M r. Consistent " of the night taking FJ:le• . second with a 4-4 . Lou Fernandez (Dusty's Cycles) was third overa ll with two fifth place finishes . Usually aboard a big bike, Danny Burtt opted for a 125cc and it paid off as the Redlands Suzuki rider had everything his way to pick up the Pro class win. Jim DeGaine took the lead off the line with Fred Conover on the C .H. Kawasaki in second and DGsponsored Rick Stout third . Burtt was in fourth. He sorted things out on the first lap and made his move on the second . getting both Stout and Conover and having a good shot at DeGaine. He promptly took care of DeGaine on the next lap and Conover thought it was such a good idea he followed suit. At the checkered it was Burtt. Conover and DeGaine . The second mota saw Dave Rose and his Rose Racing , Denn is Hartvictson -t uned Suzuki get the jump. Burtt was second and Co nover had the third . It wasn't u n til the white flag came ou t th a't Bu rt t found the hole he was looking for a nd -got through for the win . Rose was second and Conover- third. The 'overall was Burtt's with Conover taking second by two points over DeGaine. The 250cc Intermediate class had grow ing pains this week which necess itated two divis ions. Nick Peltzer and Scott Sheedy collected all the . marbles in their respective divisions. The I25cc Novices are fast catching the ever expanding Begi nner class as far as numbers go and three large divisions of Novices battled for the top spot and the three that did it were Chris Jennings, Jim Thomson and Noel Hughes. Jennings and Thompson did it with perfect scores while Hughes went the hard way with two seconds. FOLLOW THE LEAD R!
