Canoga Perk, CA 11301 38 'Marquez and Mythen master SandHill MX By Marv Knox · BRENTWOOD, CA , OCT. 15 A field of only 73 riders showed up for a usually crowded Sand Hill Ranch Sunday MX but the smaller number of entries per moto didn't hurt the competition any , in fact , it made the races that much ·tighter. 250cc Expert Mike Marquez holeshot the first race of the day only to have Chris Grewer roost by less than one lap into the moto which left h im battling a very fast Ma ico rider, Randy Lash , for second. Hard pressed to get by Marquez , Lash parted company with his bike, momentarily dropping to fifth behind Curt W ilcox , but he quickly charged back up to challenge Marquez again for second. Once again lightning struck Lash ca using him and his bike to separate and th is time there was no time to catch up. Grewer had earned the first moto victory, Marquez held down second and W ilcox rolled in for third. Second moto saw Marquez out front again closely followed by Wilcox and Losh. They stayed less than a bike length apart until Losh made his move at the levy as they dropped out of sight side-by-side. A cheer went up from the crowd as Lash came back into sight , ·out front , and ,began to stretch his lead to win by a comfortable four seconds. W ilcox saw his third place go away as Grewer charged by on the last lap righ t behind Marquez who finished the race in second. .
