Kenny Zahrt, and Ron Barker-backed Bobby Kline came out to Indian Dunes and took Pro class wins in the California Racing Club's $1000 Purse Motocross. For· Shoemaker it was a good day, as he captured the Open Pro .dasss by trading moto wins with Can-Am's Donnie Hansen and a fourth in the 2505, behind winner Zahrt, who was back in his first ride on a Maico, and racing with a totally rebuilt knee. Kline defeated moto winners Jimmy Holley and Kawasaki's Chappy Blose for the 125cc win. In the Open Pros' first mota, Donnie; Hansen grabbed the holeshot and began to run off with the race. Dave! Haugh gave chase for the flI'St two laps, then dropped to fourth behind Luft's Joe Root and Shoemalt.er. Shoemaker slipped past Root the next lap, and set out after Hansen. The Can-Am pilot held on for the win the rest of the way, while Shoemaker settled for second ahead of . Bob Bang, Jay Harontunian and Joe Price. Hansen got off to a horrible stan the second moto, next to last, while Shoemaker took the lead ahead of Root, TNT's Dale Lewis and Bang. Hansen moved up to second by the halfway point, picking off two riders a lap, but Shoemaker had a commanding lead at that point, and Hansen couldn't catch him for the win. Root picked up third in the moto ahead of Price and Bang. Largest of tbe Pro classes was the 250's, where Kenny lahn made his retulll to racing after a serious knee operation and mounted on a bZ~~ red Maico. In the 6nt round, shot his Magnum into the lead, and used the entire 12 laps to stretch it out. Scott Morgan came around in second the 6nt lap, but dropped to third behind Mike Shoemaker the next time around. Donnie Hansen was also on the move, and slipped around Morgan, .tben went to work on Shoemaker for second. Nothing worked for Hansen, and the flag carne out with lahn abead, followed by Shoemaker, Hansen, Morgan and Randy Lewis. Round two saw Morgan take the holeahot with his Honda, and hold off Z.ahn for' the 6nt three laps. Kevin McNeal 'ran a clOle third ahead of John Drury and Randy Lewis, but on the fourth lap, McNeal shot past both lahn and Morgan for the lead. That position only lasted one lap, however, and McNeal disappeared until the eighth lap, dIeD pulled off altogether. With this, lahn took over the lead and began to stretch it out over Morgan and Lewis, while Shoemaker and Hansen fought in traffic back in uth and tnenth.
