Tetone takes CMC OCIRMX .. By Tom Corley IRVINE: CA, MAY 25 If the gas crunch lets up. one can expect to see a good racing season at OCIR. With the upcoming hot summer months a good crowd should be on hand to support their favorite Pro riders and watch the always exciting "King of the Hill" special event. Continental Moto-sports Club races are run with the Minis narting first and the classes progress up to the larger 500cc machines. The smaller bikes in th~ first. race were totally outdiced by Rowland Heights ace Tony Tetone. Tony rode a Suzuki and is one of the faster 100cc junior racers around. This evening he won the 100 junior class and really lacked some good competition. He had fun dodging the Mini riders and there was quite a few in the. Mini junior class. john McLellan ended up whipping the class for the overall trophy. A fine 3-1 score that he earned gave him the edge over Donny Fish, Newton Aceved~o, and Duane Summers. Steve Hodapp is starting to outshine the rest in 250cc junior competition. He faced 14 other riders in tonight's event and shut them down completely as he led each moto and hooked a pair of first place wins ~o claim the largest trophy. Moto Meister Maico should be glad about this since Steve won on his Maico and defeated the entire class, including Robert Michael, Mike Martinez, Russ Sweeney, and Dane \Vhatley. • GOLD ANODiZED ALUMINUM SWINGARM8.3" travel with S & WTM 14" StrokerShocks. 3/4" longer wheelbase.
