SAN DIEGO, CA, AUG. 19
Ronnie Lechien (R&D Suz) returned home from the Ponca
City, OK, NMA Nationals Friday,
got dad Dick to knock the mud
30
off the scooters and returned to
Barona Oaks on Sunday with nary a
trace of "motorhome lag" to sweep the
Stock and Modified Expen Minicycle
classes over perennial rival Kenny
Dunlap (Suz). Dunlap came back for a
second straight 105cc Minicycle win as
Lechien had double slide-downs in the
first moto but then came back for a
win in the second round to go with his
first moto fourth for second overall.
Intermediate rider Larry Butler (Yam)
came up with a great ride for third.
Butler then went on to take the
Stock Intennediate (12-16) over Scott
Richeson and Speedway 117 CMC
point leader John Phillips, and a
second behind Kawasaki rider John
Faure in the Modified ranks. Both
these riders should be Experts by year's
end.
The Novices are producing some
newcomers. as second month rider
Randy Rush (Kaw) came up with a
charging two for two win over
"veteran" Mike West in the Modified
Novice (12-16) class and then ran a
very close second to West in the Stock
Novice (12-16) class. Quincy Kawasaki
rider West should be there with the
Intennediates by next month!
The 9-11 Intennediate class is developing into a real three-way point
battle this year between John Conney,
Frankie Brundage and Thor Bjornstad
with last Sunday being no c;xception,
as Bjornstad grabbed the I05cc 9-11
class, Conney took the Modified 80cc
class, and Brundage gr,!bbed the
Stock 80cc class.
The wins came in pairs in the
motorcycle classes as Kawasaki rider
.,"
.
David McGhee swept the Experts,
Charles Harries (also Kawasaki) took
two close Intennediate wins over Kerri
Paulson, and Bob Voorhees went two
for two in the Novice classes. Then to
finish'it off Marty Stone swept both
100cc Novice classes.
Lots of changes in the cou~ at
Barona by track referee Frank
Brundage plus an incredible cool,
misty, unseasonable August Sunday
made for a beautiful day of racing for
all 170 riders on hand. Barona Oaks
races every first and third Sunday from
the first Sunday of February to the first
Sunday of December.
