CORO NA, CA , NOV. 3
A fine turnout of unattached
sportsmen as well as high school
r acers prompted a night of exciting berm-bust ing at Corona
Raceway. Most notable of the sportsmen was Joe Specchio (Suz). who put
in a hot ride for first overall in the
250cc Novice class .
; At the start of the first mo ta , it was
Robert Robertson (Suz) in command
over Joe Feld (Hon) and Specchio. As
the race continued, however. Specchio
worked his way to the front. Robertson
p ushed Specchio for two laps but
e~entu ally started to fall back. As the
end of the mota approached, Tom
Singleton (Han) charged up from t lie
rear to make a last minute challenge
for second. His effort. however, was
just not enough and he crossed the
finish line a few _ yards behind
Robertson .
In the next ro und . Robertson once
again was th e one to show the way
through the first tum. This time he .
held on to the lead for most of the race
desp ite the best efforts of Speechio. It
was the best dice of the night.
Specchio would pu ll alongside Robertson in the straights, and sometimes
even pull ah ead. bu t then Robertson
would reco ver the lead in the nex t
tum . Rob ertson's undoing came near
th e end of the ra ce when he expected
to cross the fin ish line and discovered
that he still had one lap to go . His
concentra tion was thrown so far off
that he allowed both Specchio and
. Singleton to pass him on the last lap.
Specchio took a hard earned first
overall ahead of Singleton, Robertson ,
Feld and Dan Frear (Hon).
Since 'early last spring Danny Burtt
(Suz) has ma intained an unbelievable
winning streak in the l 25cc Pro class.
The only person to interrupt that
streak was fellow Redlands Suzuki
rider Marty -Miller way back in July.
Well , Miller is up to his hip in plaster
now and no one can hold a candle to
Burtt at Corona. This week it was
Robert Gray (Yam) who tried. Burtt
took the lead from Richard Simmons
_ (Kaw) in the first tum while Gray was
back in fifth place . By the second lap ,
Gray had pu t himself in third place
behi nd J im DeGa ine (Suz). He pushed
DeGaine for severa l laps. and then
finally the first moto fin ishing order
was Burtt, Gray, T ed Hoyt (Suz) .
Simmons and DeGa ine .
Burtt was once aga in ou t in front of
the second moto. This time, however .
Gray was right with him in second.
One serious mistake on an y lap would
ha ve cost Burtt th e ' race and Gra y
waited pa tiently. For six laps th ey
circled the track, bu t that mistake
never came. Burtt took the overall
with Gray and Hoyt following.
Norco High School took the HSMX
with an im pressive 160 points. Their
win was made certain by taking first
place in five different classes. Mike
Word, Allen Lucas. Allan Coats. Scott
Seeley and Craig Seeley all did their
part to put Norco on top of Esperanza,
Moreno Valley , and Fontana. But the
high school rider that stole the show in
the 250cc Senior class was Don Griewe
of Moreno Valley . H e came out
equipped with a '79 Yamaha 250 and
ra~ a~ay. J im Minteer (Esp ) and Rick
Saltsbury (Esp) followed .
