In the Pro classes it was Mark Ellis that set the pace on his FMF Yamaha 400. He followed Ken Taylor's Suzuki for several laps in round one and then look the lead and ran away froin the combined Experts. The second mota saw only Ellis on top. The l!50cc hot shoes were topped by Danny Jean (Suz), who put in a' hot ride to win both motos. In round one. his competition came from Chris Tarvin (Han). Tarvin pulled the holeshot and led Jean through a see·saw race. but eventually began to tire and fell back to second. Race two was Randy Fleming's turn to push the leader.. but once again it was Jean on top at the finish. Overall it was Jean. Fleming, Tarvin. Jeff Lambson (Yarn) and Clint Tarvin (Yam). The 125cc Experts were taken by Rick Stout (Suz). who took the second molO over John Silva (Suz) and first moto winner Craig Gormley (Suz). Greenway again at ftnt Intermediate moto and told him to line up with the Expert class where he did q~ite well. Greenway got the holeshot and established a small lead. but a.s soon as Wilkinson got out of traffic he was actually gaining on the leader. Before he had· a chance to show what he could do. however, he went down and lost a position to Phinip Taboada (Suz). Greenway fmished with a strong lead and in the next moto he did it all over again. From start to finish Greenway had it all and this time. Wilkinsop managed to hold on to second place for second overall. In the 125cc class, it was much the same story with Greenway leading every lap. Second place held an interesting duel between in the fiTSt moto Rick Stout (Suz), Craig Dale (Yam) and Andy Orescanin (Suz). Orescanin eventually carne out on top while both Stout and Dale DNF and third went to Chris Swank (Kaw). The next time around. Orescanin again found himself in a battle for second while Greenway ran away with the lead. Troy Lee (Suz) held off both Rick Rodgers (Suz) and Orescanin for several laps but in the end, it was again Orescanin and Swank in second and third. . One of the hardest fought battles of the day was in the I25cc Intermediate class where Rick Jackson (Suz) met Fred Combs (Suz). Combs had the lead through the early laps of moto one. but Jackson never gave him a moment's rest. It wasn't until the fifth lap that Jackson finally found a way around Combs to take the lead. From there on in, it was all Jackson with Combs following ahead of Ryan Eide and Danny Rivas (Suz). The next mota had no other leader than Jackson. Combs once again followed in front of Eide and Alan Coau and that's how the overall went. CoronaMX Results Results PEE WEE I: 1. Dllffen Hoopinggain (Suz); 2. Allen Brohm (Suz); 3. John Alton (Honl.
