CIeansweep R8cing T..,,'s Sherrl Merrill, out In the Mexican countryside. itsdf on thr start linr, putting Gary too far in thr holr to br a thrrat. Scott Atchison had problrms with runs too; his piston trird" to run all over the insidr of thr rnginr. This happrned as Scott was sliding through that srcond tum aftrr thr start and by the time he rrstarted, hr was 10 rows brhind with an enginr that tried to sdf-drstruct for thr rrst of thr day. By the rnd of lap onr, thr finishing order was brginning to apprar. Oran Millrr was first in, having started in thr srcond row. Waynr Martin was rrally pushing to catch Miller, having crashrd whilr trying to pass him on thr first lap. Martin madr his movr in lap two and managed to squrrze by Millrr to takr the lrad. Now it was MilIrr's tum to comr back. He took some wild chancrs but just couldn't grt past thr drtrnnined Martin. And so they finished, onr and two. Thry both won, howrvrr, sincr Martin ridrs Oprn and Millrr was on a 250. The "err Whiz" award gars to Scott Smith who put on his now or never racr face and moved from an 11th row start to third by thr rnd of lap one. He held this position without challrnge right to the end for third overall and fU"St Amateur. There was no qurstion that Smith was up for this one; just ask his trammatrs, the Mulconrry brothrrs. Smith wrnt flying by Mike on thr first lap Iikr a bat out of a Tijuana taco factory and rvrn Gary crashed whilr trying to get back past Smith. Smith's frvrr was infectious and rvrn thr vrry dficient High Sprrd Bail pit set nrw rrcords in pitting him. A grrat ride, Scott. Mike Mulconery and Mikr Martin started side by side in the fourth row and sprntthe entire race within shouting distance, swapping get offs and • positions right to thr wire. After a 100 mile battle, Martin just edged Mulconery at the finish for fourth overall and srcond Oprn Exprrt, leaving fifth and third for his friendly comprti tor. . Gary Mulconrry suffered a brokrn clutch in his tusslr with Smith and was forced to makr a long pit stop to changr it. This put him out of the running which let Hrath Hibbard collrct his share of the crash fever that afflicted aH the top riders and trade it in for sixth spot. Donnie Morrison, riding for Dick Allrn Yamaha, put togrther a really smooth ride, with only one flat tum spin out, to jump from thr sixth row to thr srvrnth ovrrall position and fU"St Iightwright by far. Not too shabby for onr wrist (throttle) in a cast and riding a' 175cc on what was surrly a big bikr course. Every rider I spoke with was uniformly rnthusiastic about thr rntirr rvent and are eager to ride it again nrxt yrar. The rrsidents will br happy to have most of thrm, too, with thr rxcrption of the rrtard that blazrd into thr finish and injured some sprctators. I hopr hr's reading this and rraiizrs that, rvrn though hr ran away after thr accident, his idrntity is known by CRC officials and by thr Rosarito police. I doubt he will br welcomr therr. Thanks to thr Riverside City Collrgr Motorcycle Club for thrir help in scoring and race oprrations. Thry are an offshoot of thr rxcrllrnt motorcycle trchnology course offered therr and will br working the Anaheim racr as well. Thry hrlprd put togrther the rrsults but for now those rrsults must be vrry unofficial. This was a timrd rvrnt and somr positions may change whrn allthr elapsed tirnrs are totaled. Srr you in Rosarito Brach next year. Results • EXPERTSIAMAn:URS: 1. Wrvne ~in. Open Ex (Hus); 2. Deon Milia', 250 Ex (Yaml; 3. Scott Smith. Op Am (Yaml; 4. Miko ~in. Op Ex (Husl; 6.
