CRC holds first Amateur Stadium MX qualifier By Keith Clemons ORANGE, CA, SEPT. 23 The first of eight local qualifying events for California Racing Club's upcoming Amateur Motocross Championship was held at SaddIeback Park and by the size of the day's crowd you could tell that the Anaheim Stadium event will be a smash. Hundreds of riders showed to make a bid for a chance to race on the Coca-Cola Motocross Final's track .the day after the National Pros do weir .thing. The Amateur event will be held Nov. 18. Qualifying in the Open Pro class were Scott Cavness and Dale Lewis. Cavness drove his Anaheim Suzukisponsored machine through an unchallenged first moto for the win with Lewis pulling in second on his TNT Maico. Joe D. Price bore down to complete the race in third. Second time around Lewis landed the early lead but Ron Palmer picked a choice line which led him to the top on the fourth lap. Cavness, meanwhile, got a slow eighth place start but definitely had designs on the win. Though it took him into the final laps of the race to make it, Cavness pulled past the checkers in the number one position to win his second race for the day and first overall. Palmer finished second but placed third over· all while Lewis, who followed him home, placed second for the day. No one could ques~ion the fact that Jim Tarantino was hot. Tarantino pulled full domination on both 250cc Pro races and earned his chance to ride the stadium. In the first heat Tarantino had to work his way around Pete Snorteland before blasting off into the cosmos on his Cole Bros_ Suzuki. Snorteland held his Can-Am on target to finish number two with Jim Domann Yamahauling home third. OPEN PRo: 1. SCott eev.-. ISuzl; 2. Dele L_ (Mei); 3. Craig Adorno (KTM). OPEN INT: 1.
