Dale AncIenon 1361 and Steve Rhyan (141 IeIIcI the CMC Carlabed &OOcc Pros. Rhyan ~ the ov....nwin.
Alan Smith (Hus) moved up early
from fifth to third, finishing just
ahead of Pete Wanket (Yam) who
moved up to Smith' midway through
the moto only to eat it on lap ~n
while gassing it on the rain-slicked
uphill under the bridge.
Dale Anderson (Mai) rode in for
futh, but at the stan of moto two,
blazed out of the first tum in the lead.
Wanket and Rhyan both went by him
on lap two, though, and began dicing
for the lead.
Rhyan slipped past on the downhill
the next lap and after that just did
what was necessary to maintain his
lead and take the overall win.
Wanket, Smith and Anderson
followed him in to end up in those
pasi tions overall.
Rhyan looked forward to doing the
same trick in the 250cc Pros aboard
the Honda· powered , Kelvin Franksframed "Roo," a quick and sanitarylooking piece of equipment.
He grabbed the lead right off the
bat with Tony Wanket (Yam) sticking
close. Rhyan began experiencing
problems after a couple laps, however,
when the front brake cable staned
catching the tire whenever the
suspension compressed, putting the
brake on in the process.
Wanket used the opponunity to
snatch the lead, ducking under Rhyan
in the horseshoe on lap five.
Rhyan didn't let him get out of
range, though, and adjusted things a
bit, allowing him to charge ahead,
catch and repass Wanket after the
ledge on lap 10.
Riding by himself in third all this
time was Robert Reisinger (Kaw) while
a ways behind were Tim Lunde (Yam)
and Kirk Grissom (Hon).
Wanket took the lead at the stan of
the second molo. Many Miller (Suz)
and Rhyan filled in the next two slots
until they hit the uphill where Rhyan
pulled a quick switch on Miller and set
out after Wanket.
The race took an unexpected tum
for the Roo rider, though, when the
brake cable problems that slowed him
in the first moto forced him to pull out
after lap three, ending his bid for a
perfect four·for-four day.
That left Wanket alone with
ReiSinger in second, but not a real
threat at this point.
Things changed.
Reisinger stepped up his pace and
slowly, steadily inched upon Wanket.
By lap eight, he was knocking on
Wanket's fender and looking for a way
around.
On the white flag. Reisinger snuck
by. Wanket, however, was not so
Willin, . to oblige and when Reisinger
went high on a bank after the ledge,
he cooly slipped undemeath and
accelerated back into the lead.
Miller used the last lap to get by
Lunde while Grissom did likewise to
Jerry Raymer (Yam) for fifth in the
moto, founh overall.
In the first 125cc Pro moto, Lunde
snapped out of the gate in the . lead
followed by Scott Johnston (Suz), Rick
Johnson (Yam) and Jim Cooke (Kaw).
Johnston crashed near the top of the
uphill the first lap, though, and
dropped from contention.
Cooke, riding a pre· production Uni·
Trak, startled Johnson by powering by
on the uphill on lap two. Johnson
regained his composure, though, and
passed him back.
Johnson then moved up on Lunde
and put the move on him the next lap
at the top of.abe uphill. Mter that, the
race was all his.
Cooke kept pace in second, Lunde
third and Bun Wald (Hon) fourth in
his first I 25cc ride as a Pro.
In mota two, Johnson took
immediate command of the race.
Mter the gate fell, no one even got
close to him as he rolled along to an
uncontested victory.
Cooke and Don Fuller (Suz) went 23 in the moto and overall. Andy
Nonhrup (SOP) picked up fouM in
the moto while Tim Theodore (SOl)
used 6·5 finishes for founh overall.
