As the second of the five race
U.S. SuzukiiNMA Fall Series got
underway at Saddleback Park .
the anticipation began to grow
as to who would be most likely to ste p
int o the shoes of such well kn own ex mini riders as Scot t Burnworth, Chris
Heiser and Jeff Ward . Three of th e
most ex cit ing riders of th e day had to
be . Chris Morey (Suz). overall winner
of the 105cc Open class , Erik Kehoe
(Yam) . the overall winner of th e 83cc
Modified Expert class a nd George
Holland (Suz), class winner in the 83cc
Stock Experts. These. three riders ha d
the specta tors on th eir feet.
In th e 105cc Open , it was Mo rey
with the holes hot bu t right behin d him
was Kehoe and Holland and th ey
weren 't about to slow down . KehOe
tried eve ry trick in the boo k to ge t
around Morey but to no ava il. Kehoe
lost control and was bumped back to
seventh , meanwhile , Holl and wa s
holding onto a solid second . It was
Morey taking the first moto win and
Holland right behind for a second.
The heat was on as the gate dropped
on the second moto . Again it was
Morey with the holeshot , but Kehoe
was right at his back door. For three
solid laps it was a wheel to wheel and
handlebar to handlebar race. As they
headed into the back section of the
track Kehoe made his move on Morey:
Meanwhile , Bryon Antonacci (Ya m)
had moved int o the th ird place spot
and was closing in on Morey .
Antonacci . in a breath -taking
downhill maneuver, passed Morey in
mid·air to finish second over Morey.
Morey's third place finish was .stiIL _

No t all t he ex cit em ent was in the
Expert ra ce and th a t was soon proven
as th e 12 yea rs and over Modified
Novices came off th e line. It was Tracy
Meeks (Suz) from Harry's Cycle Sal es
with the holeshot and teammate Steve
Andre (Suz) right behind . Wheel to
wheel into every turn and almost side

anyone's gu ess as to who would take
over th e lead , but Meeks managed to
hold Andre off to take th e win .
