Mike Horker led the 125cc class at Mabton before he took soil samples.
holeshot. but two and a quarter miles
later, Jim Dunn's TZ750 led at the
start/fmish. Michak dogged him,
closely pursued by Puhakka's Yamaha.
Going into lap four the trio was tight
c:oming onto the straight, where
Puhalli powered past Michak.
Michak got by his rival in the twisty
backstretch on the next lap, but
Puhakka again gunned past him on
the front straight. Dunn must have felt
the pressure. He didn't quite make
turn three after the downhill, and had
to take the handy escape route on lap
five. Perhaps his brakes went away, for
this recurred on lap seven. Meanwhile,
Puhakka grabbed the lead, yielded
briefly to Michak on the backstretch,
only to zoom ahead again on the
straight. Michak's brakes couldn't
quite take the heat and Puhakka
pressed on to victoty by a thousand
feet.
Michak plans to continue his fourstroke crusade in 1980. And we invite
you a.ll to take your vacation in the
Northwest next year, road racing on
fine tracks in Seattle, Portland or
Vancouver. Maybe you could show us
how it's done in California.

MABTON, WA, SEPT. 16
Showdown Promotions put on
another outstanding race today
with the star attractions being a
$750 purse- for the 12!iicc Pro
class and 40 minute motos. The large
purse attracted 26 of the top riders
from Washington 'and Idaho.
AndyTudor (Hon) took an early lead
in the first moto followed by Jeff
Anderson (Suz) , Dennis Ostriem (Suz),
Art Key (Suz) and Rod Casper (Suz).
Tudor stretched out a huge lead as
Anderson dropped out with bike
problems and Ostriem took over
second. A lot of bikes were dropping
out with flats, thrown chains and
water related problems. With money
being paid down to eighth place by
moto only, it really paid to ride
consistently. Thirty minutes into the
race, Ostrieum took the lead for good.
Tudor held on for second despite a
strong charge by Rod Casper and Gary
Quest (Yam) at the end.
The second mota was a lot easier for
Ostriem as he grabbed the holeshot
and never looked back. Less than half
of the riders fmiShed the race. Gary
Quest rode well for second place
money with Ross Learn (Suz) third on
a .borrowed bike.
Duane Morris (Yam) had little
trouble
creaming
the
125cc
Intermediate class, as usual, with
"Jetting" Jack McGill (Yam) second
and Jon Jacobson (Suz) ~hird.
Rick Gage (Hon) led the first 250cc
Pro moto followed by Leon McDonald
(Yam), Duane Morris (Suz), and Bob
Buffaloe (Suz). Andy Tudor (Yam)
quickly moved up through the pack to
challenge Marker for second after
McDonald fell. Andy, trying to pass
. through the deepest part of the mud
hole, proved that Yamahas aren't
submarines when he drowned out.
Gage went on to an easy victory with
Marker second and McDonald close
behind.
The second moto looked like
another easy victory for Gage but a
DNF gave the win and overall to
Marker. Leon took second with Dale
Holcomb (Suz) third.
