Breker ran into some trouble in the second contest when he bailed three· fourths of the way through the first lap. He had held the number two position behind Ed Arnet who got the holeshot but when he went down, the traffic around him was so heavy that he didn't get back into the race until he had been passed by at least ten or so racers. remounted his U.S. Norstar Husky you could almost see the flames streaking through his eyes. Brecker counted em' down one by one and somehow, despite the damage, worked back to the top to win the race. Payback was per·moto, and Goat took both. Ed Arnet finished second in that moto to claim the bucks for second overall with Scott Cavness making it home third for the day. It's not that Breker's greedy, but he also cleaned up in the 250cc Pro, class. He took the overall and put himself in the position of being the top dollar winner of the day. jim Tarantino aced the first moto contest but, as Brecker cut him off in the second, Tarantino went home number two overall. That's still pretty hot in a ~O rider class. Kawasaki Motor's Curt McCuiston placed overall third. Results OPEN PRo: 1. Goot Broct<.. IHuoI; 2. Ed A,net IMoil; 3. Scon Covnea 1Suz1. 30 OPEN INT: 1.

By Rod Eschenburg CHULA VISTA, CA, SEPT. 12 New CMC MX Pro "Wailin' Woody" Carlson literally ran roughshod over the Open TT competition at Speedway 117. Carlson, raking over veteran jim McMurren's booming Yamaha single for the second straight week, was running a distant fourth in the first 15· lap moto when second place rider Clint Hardick slid down in the infield. Sid Carlson, running in a tight third had no place to go but down also. Enter son Woody. The "wailin' one" just kind of drove over his dad's prostrate body and into the second place behind leader Earl Roloff, jrl Where was ole Ward Ring, the usual leader? It seems that Mr. Ring had made contract with the track in a semi·suppline and moderately violent condition on the preceding lap as a result of the constant pressure being a pplied by Roloff. Comes the second 15·!apper, and neither Woody nor Roloff really waited for the flag (for that matter no one else really did either!) and the race was onl For the entire 15 circuits, Woody and Earl went at it with Carlson holding for the tie· breaker second moto win. There was as much applause for Earl Roloff and his masterful h'andling of the big 750cc twin as there was for Carlson and his first ever big· bike victoryl In motocross action, the 125cc juniors and the 250cc juniors tried to out do each other in a series of wild slam· bang motos with about 10 lead changes and 10 crashes each. Honda rider Kevin james was a two· for· two survivor in the 125's over Ray Smotherman. In the 250s, Derek Walker squeaked out a close one over Bobby Baldwin who once again had trouble staying right side up. In the always exciting 125cc Inte.rmediates, new Intermediate rider Manny Leon came back for a second moto win after a mass crash in the first moto where he was able to get up and limp in for second behind the lone rider who stayed right side up: Larry Millhone.

Holladay rockets to Orange Show win By Tom Corley SAN BERNARDINO, CA, SEPT. 7 Rialto rider Rory Holladay has been steadily progressing into one of the finest CMC 500cc Pro riders at the Orange Show Fair· grounds. In this evening's program Rory showed everyone just what he's capable of doing as he successfully over· powered the big bore class and walked off with the first place cash. In the past few races Rex Staten had completely dominated everyone in the 500cc class a nd is considered the fastest rider at this track. However, a mishap occurred while Rex was racing at Saddleback Park and because of a fractured rib he was not involved in this evening's action. His good friend Rory took the place of the famous "Rocket" and finished with the same winning style, Another competitor, Bruce Ogilvie, gave Rory an excellent run for his money. Ogilvie, of course, is very well known for his skill in desert· competi. tion, but this man is also very fast on a night motocross track as the competi. tion discovered early in the first moto. Bruce shot out ahead on his Dale's Cycles Yamaha and led for the whole race which gave him the first win over Rory Holladay who diced from a few bikelengths behind. After this, Holladay became vengeful. In the fmal moto he shot 0 , to the lead, never to be passed. At ( • point a slower rider, who was belllg lapped, got in his way and he started shouting for the other rider to move over. Ogilvie placed second in the moto behind Holladay who won the overa1l500cc Pro cash with a super 2·1 score. There were two divisions of 125cc Intermediates; The first division ran at the same time as the Pros while the . second division had their own separate race. Randy Yetto (Suz), the winning man of the second division, was able to
