Rhyan, Jones, Taylor blast SSMMX By Terry Whytal ORANGE, CA, DEC. 30 Maico rider Steve Rhyan roosted his way to victory in the Open Pro class with two first place finishes. Rhyan looked like a winner all day as he manhilndled his mount as though it were a 125cc and easily had the fastest lap times for an Open class bike. Tony Gomez put his Suzuki through its paces as he came from behind in both motos to eventually finish 5C'Cond overall. Suzuki rider Matt Tedder and Maico-mounted Dale Lewis battled each other for most of both races, split their finishing positions and Lewis took the third place money while Tedder settled for fourth. Summing up the 250cc Pro race is easy with just two words: Jones and Lawrence. As the 250cc traveling circus hit the track for the first moto there appeared to be plenty of com· petition from many top riders but LOP/Yamaha rider Mark Lawrence and Mugen/Honda ace Clark jones had other ideas. Both motos soon became a two man show as both riders kept tbe gas and the pressure on. By tbe time the bars stopped banging, the tires stopped spinning and the dirt stopped flying, the two aces had traded paint, moto finishes and just about everything but jerseys and jones was declared the overall winner. ·Lawrence took home the runner-up share of the purse and Yamaha rider Dave Hollis finished third, just ahead of Gary jones on an Ammex. Five riders had a shot at the 125cc Pro win including Yamaha riders Mike Brown, Andy Kirker and Dave Taylor, and Honda pilots Chris Hiesser and jeff Liesk. Taylor turned out to be the fastest and most consistent as he worked his way to the front in both motos and stayed there until the checkered flag. Brown stayed on the gas to finish second while Kirker and Liesk argued over third with the nod going to Kirker in tbe end. Once again the 250cc Intermediate race provided plenty of sportsmen action for the spectators. Some of these riders turn lap times close to the Pros especially winner Bruce Deacon on a Yamaha wbo handily aced both motos. Following Deacon to the check· ers were second place finisher Kevin Olson on a Honda and third placer Chuck Miller on board a Yamaha. Results OVER 100,000 SQ. FT.
