Holley passed him along with David Taylor (LOP) and Tony Gomez (Suz). At the close of the 14-lap event, Gibson coasted for the win. Burnworth was second, followed by Holley and Taylor. In moto two, Burnworth again had to take a back seat to Gibson. Gibson's factory scooter was spot-on. In this moto, the Tahiti flash, Rick Johnson (Yam) was running fourth behind Holley for six laps but Johnson eventually gained third. For the remaining eight laps, the top positions did not change. So, for the record, Gibson collected the overall win and $180, Burnworth was second with a 22 tally, then Holley, Taylor and Gomez. In the 250cc Pro class, the story was the same and Gibson again was the leading character. In both motos, Gibson was chased intensely by the Can·Am·mounted Donnie Hansen. Pushing Hansen was the Moto-X Foxsponsored Tony Wanket (Yam). Wanket placed third in both motos for third overall. The orange invader, Donnie Hansen, brought out his big bore CanAm to pressure Ron Turner (Yam) in moto one of the Open Pros. Chris Chaffee (Yam) got the holesbot but quickly fell lame and Turner was on the run ..With Hansen in a solid second, Superbowl-bound David Gerig (Suz) and Yamaha-mounted Robert Marino were really playing tug·o·war. At the flag, Turner won, Hansen was second ahead of Gerig and Mark Brooks (Mai). who snuck inside of Marino for fourth. In moto two, the finishing positions were reversed. This t.ime Hansen put tbe power to the ground and pulled Turner. Gerig again was pushing the leaders with Marino to follow. Hansen relished the big bucks, Turner outlasted 31 other Open Pros for second overall and Gerig was third. J.C~_ p~: 18th annual 25-lap NATiONAL TT Sat~ Half-mile Gardena Gold Cup (EXPERTS.
