A trio of Sears Point road racers dice into a hard right.
has been admirable: four wins, three
secorids, a single third place. no DNFs.
Even more amazing is the perform llnce of Kevin Kiel in the 125cc
Production class. The San Mateo
resident has piloted his 125cc Can-Am
to a record of eight straight victories
with no losses or DNFs at Sears Point
this year . A big "get well quick" goes
out to Kevin's future brother-in-law,
Pat Hennen.
Jl\.nother ~eat performance belongs
to Jeff Leggitt, who pushed his Honda
MT125R to unbelievable lap times in
winning 125ccGP. And the final
surprise of the year was the total and
complete dominance of the Kawasaki
KZ650 in the 675cc Box Stock class, a
type of racing that has finally come of
age in AFM racing.

Jammers Jamboree
Jams at Plymouth
/ Raceway
By Sallee Hilt on
PLYMOUTH, CA, OCT. 1
Sacramento Jammers M.e. gave
the racers and fans a motocross
excellence" Sunday. Even
most of the half-dozen or more
"If.if
riders who were disqualified for pit
riding were pleased with the overall
promotion of the event.
Many of the area girls , prepping for
the Women's Nationals, were on the
scene in the biggest Women's Division
race ever seen at. Plymouth. Nancy
Lewis (Suz) smoked the first moro ,
leaving Donna McGlothlin (Suz) and
Lisa Giuffra (Yam) behind in their
second/third battle, By lap three the
pack of 13 stretched all around the
lA-mile course, but lapping the back
of the pack riders didn't slow Lewis
down.
After a case of crashing in the 125cc
Novice class, Lewis did not appear in
the second Women's moto and Giuffra
chased Debbie Jamerson (Suz)
throughout the race, finally taking
over the lead in time for the checkered
flag. Melissa Ross (Suz), just turning
14-years -old in time to race this one,
picked up the third . Overall winner
was Giuffra , with Jamerson second
and Ross third.
A lot of the area's Expert riders were
traveling, but some were still around,
as 58 showed up to ride the rough sand
of Plymouth's "Hangtown Raceway."
Leading the l25ccs to the checkered
flag was Donnie Cantaloupi (Yam) ,
way out front ' in both motos.
Cantaloupi did not holes hot either
time . but had no trouble taking the
lead by the end of the first lap. Eric
McKenna (Suz) cashed in second
overall after he and Phil Crane (Suz)
swapped second and third moto
finishes . McKenna crashed in the first
moto and just had time to work up
from l Sth to third .
Crane, on a Honda for the 250cc
race , took the top money with his
second and first finishes , acing out
Randy Losh (Mai), who won the first
round . Dave Wood (Yam) led the first
rnoto , putting on a super show
racing with Losh and then with Crane
to fin ish third . The second moto third
went to J im Fratini (Hon). Collecting
the payback for the overall , behind
Crane and Losh were Dan Waller
(Mai) , Lance Burgess (Yam) and Dave
Wood.
Wood, who likes the Open bikes
better, managed a second overall after
being paid for third and fourth moto
finishes . The big winner was Bob
Myers (Mai). with two firsts . McKenna
and Richard Buttner (Yam) each
picked up a second. Third overall was
taken by Rick Woodson (Mai) .
McKenna and Buttn er were in there
for fourth and fifth.
