Las Vegas' Kevin Davis topped the 260cc Pros at CRC Saddleback. five of the 1g classes were decided 30 with incredible second moto tie breaker efforts_ In what has become the feature class at Speedway 117 - the 125cc Interm,ediates - "Wailin' Woody" Carlson (S_D_ Kaw) had to do a real zap job on the always large and tough field right off the gate and hang on for the tie-breaker win o~r a very hard charging Gary Graham (Suz). In the first moto it was Carlson zooming into an early lead, but Graham pulled a beautiful pass to grab the lead midway through the moto and run away with it. Graham looked to be the favorite in the second round, especially when he began closing up on Carlson, but Woody semled to have eyes in the back of his helmet as he was able to withstand the numerous challenges of Graham to take the gold. As wild as the 125cc Intermediates were, the 125cc juniors were even wilder as the first division pr<;Kiuced an incredible fo~r-way tie with Danny jones pulling off another one of his patent~d last-lap charges to score the win with a 4-2 effort over Pat Kidd (!I. !I), Mark Stone (~.4) and Curt Fryling (1· 5).jones' win not only hinged on his getting the second in the moto, but also on Mark Stone's last second pass into fourth over Fryling. The 500cc Juniors featured not only a tie-breaker second moto win by Bob Tuttle, but it was also Tuttle's first ever moto and overall win of his career! "the Minis were not to ~ outdone by their big brotbera with David Growson showing up for the first time in months and squeaking through witb a tie-breaker second moto win over Larry Butler.

California Racing Club Tri Race series beginning July 22, is. probably the reason CRC had such a dynamite turnout last Sunday at Saddleback Park in spite of the Mammoth Mountain event running on the sarno day. Of course the usual amount of "out of state" entries are expected also. Mike Chapin drove aU the way from his home in Scottsdale, AZ. Chapin entered the 250cc Pro race but got to the line too early and ended up taking off with the 250cc Intermediates. It wasn't until he realized he was sailing 45 seconds out front of the pack hassle free, and thinking that all the real California Pros must be on vacation that his friend Gary Dircks waved him off the track to let him in on the news. From there Chapin hustled back to the gate just in time to get off with his own race. Being half a race tired didn't stop Chapin from bringing glory to his Phoenix County Cycle sponsor. Gary Dircks got the holeshot in the race followed by Chapin through the turn. Dircks led the pack for some time but eventually landed a flat which gave Chapin the edge he needed to take the front. Chapin succeeded in commanding the race for the remainder of the moto to pick up the win with a strong lead over Kevin Davis who finished number two. Third in the first moto we'!t to Kevin McNeal. Vegas Cycle Center's Kevin Davis carne back big to win the second moto. Davis rOde his Maico holeshot to finish without problems, taking first overall. Chapin started the race fourth down the line but was secure in second place by the second lap and stayed close to Davis all the way to finish number two for thUay_joe D. Price improved his ride one position when he finished third in the second round and made the money for that overall slot with his 4-!l. Open Pro Mark Lawrence moved his Yamaha through two winning motos for a first overall in that class and Mike'Brown ran 'em down in the 125cc Pro race, taking both races for th~ overall money.
