BILLINGS, OK,JAN. 27
The recently opened Twin
Springs trad drew some very
faithful riders who were willing
to race despite 28·degree cold
and mow flurries. The track (tacky the
day before) turned into hard chunks of
frozen dirt.
Mike Gilliland, riding a super-fast
Yamaha, shot around David Landgraf
(Suz) to take over first in the 125cc
Novice class. Landgraf then hit one of
the giant ice blobs and took a
spectacular spill that forced him out of
competition. Jim Anderson (Yam)
finished second and Tim Rains (So2)
claimed third. In the second moto,
Anderson charged from tbe ouuide
aC1"Olll the pack to grab fint with
GiIli1and sticking behind him like
J(lue. Gilliland got around during the
fourth lap and finished first followed
by Anderson and Matt Riley (Hon).
The combined 250cc and Open
Expert class laW Greg Prestage (Yam
465) pull the boleshot and ride a
strong first to the checkers. Scott Cook
(Hon 250) took second and Jim
Thomas (Hon 250), with a definite
problem out of the gate, exchanged
his lut place fOT third. Out of the gate
in the second moto, Cook and Thomas
shot out ahead of tbe pack with Cook
barely ahead. Thomas challenged him
the whole moto (it was a great contest)
but couldn't get around. Prestage was
last out of the gat~ this time and Steve
Cook (Hon 250) felt the pressur~ from
him. On a short straigbt, Prestage's
465 overpowered Cook's 250. Prestage
then had a little misundentanding
with a tree and Cook got back
around. Going into a corner together,
both went out and came back trailing
weeds with Prestage recovering and
finishing third followed by Cook fourth.
