Jim TUlI*' lSuzl. managed to overcome the heat to pull off victories and one of those was Redlands Suzuki's Danny Burtt who rode his RM 250 to a 1-2 winning tally in the Pro class. In the first moto he came off the line behind Chris Tarvin (Hon). In third place off the line was a man known more for his WTenching in motocross circles than for his riding, Marty Smith (Hon). Smith used to tune for riders such as Rex Staten and Jeff Ward before he turned in his serewdrivers to go to work in the family business and try his own hand at racing on the weekends. He passed both Burtt and Tarvin by the second lap, then started to pull a good lead. Burtt, however, wasn't about to let it go that easy and soon he too moved past Tarvin and started pulling away. Third place was in the hands of Todd Baldwin (Suz) after Tarvin fell, but a flat tire moved him back also and let Mark Reha take over the position on his Maico. Chris' brother, Clint Tarvin (Hon). staned coming up strong from tbe rear and in.the second half of the race two important battles took shape. Up front, Stnith was still on top but Bunt was closing and Tarvin was behind Reba, trying for third. Eventually, Bum found the win drop into his lap .when Smith fell on one of the final laps; Tarvin was never able to muster enough extra speed to catch Reba. In round two Smith came bad with the win. His first moto showing of fifth, however, gave him a second overall behind Burtt, who remained the same distance behind Smith throughout a somewhat uneventful second moto. Greg Zitterkopf (Mai) was able to take third over Baldwin and Reha, but in the final standings Reha was on top of both Baldwin and Zitterkopf. In the 125cc Pro class, Andy Orescanin of Riverside Suzuki took the win, although former mini bike ace Eric Collins (Yam) led most of both motos. In round one Orescanin followed Collins for 10 laps before the heat forced Collins to drop back. Don Griewe (Suz) also passed Collins in the fmallaps to take second.
