OCIRMXwln
By Tom Corley
IRVINE, CA,JULY24
New Zealander Phil Riddle has
been in the 250cc Intermediate
class for quite a while, taking a
good number of wins at OCIR
"
A 125cc rider gets a little bit radicel in an OCIR start.
The largest class of the day was the
250cc Intermediates and Mike Rose
prevailed over the gathering in each
race. Robert "Robot" Rodgers had
little trouble taking second overall
once Mike Blake retired in the final
moto after a runner-up finish to Rose
in the first . Rodgers had a 3·2 showing
while third overall, Women's National
Champion Dede Cates collected a 4-5
in the 17-rider field.
John Lusignan trailed Don Hoover
in the first 500cc Intermediate moto
when the checkered appeared, but he
went on to win the second with no
opposition fonn Hoover, who spilled
and finished seventh for fourth
overall. Drew Porto went back home
after the day's contest with the runnerup share after his pair of thirds.
Fonner southern Calfiornian Rich
Boiteau who now hails from Oakland,
won the breakage-plagued 125cc
Intermediates with two wins. A third
of the entire class failed to show up for
the first or second rounds because of
broken mounts. And, only three were
left running after the first moto
checkers came out.

2SO JRS : 1. Richa: followed by
Simons, Pan and GUIlmette. As for
Moscrop, he pulled off of the track on
the second lap and headed for the pits
with a bike too bent to compete on. In
the meantime, Arnold was well on his
way to sweeping the moto, as Brad
Williams ran a distant, but comfortabl e second. Simons roosted past Johnson , who was riding noticably slower
than usual , apparently suffering from
the pile-up as well. Behind Johnson
was Pan. who held a good margin over
Guilmette. When the checkers came
out, the positions held firm with
Arnold the winner, Williams second
and Simons third. In the overalls it was
Simons, Arnold , Johnson , Williams
and Pan.
Next on the list were the 2505. Ed
Arnet got off into the lead early in the
first rnoto and went on to win it ahead
of Rob Tolleson, Rick Hulsizer and
Brian Chereshkoff, and his second
moto holeshot was a saver as well. Behind him, Chereshkoff took over
second via another rider tangle, which
left Hulsizer and Tolleson in the back
. of the pack. Arnet roosted off into the
lead and won it easily, while
Chereshkoff ran in for second and the
same overall. Boo Richardson brought
his Suzuki into third. but because of
his first moto fifth could only manage
a fifth overall as well. Hulsizer and
Tolleson battled for the remainder of
the moto for fourth , the rider taking
the position earning third overall and
some money for his night'S riding. It
was Hulsizer who came out in front of
Tolleson when the checkers fell, and it
earned him the th ird overall he was
battling so hard for.
In Open action, the only rider to
luck out at was Andy Jannings. In the
first moto, Jannings took his 450 M-l
out in front in the first part of the
race, and stretched his lead all the way
to the checkers. Kirk Sturgeon and Ed
Arnet battled for second and third for
the entire moto, after escaping a pile
up in the esses that took out Allen
Hopper, Steve Richard and Steve
Kelso. When the checkers came out,
the order of finish was Jannings ,
Sturgeon, Arnet, Bill Edrington and
Richard.
Moto two saw Jannings stuff his
Maico into the first tum in third, then
by whipping the big machine into the
inside , came out in front. Arnet followed, with Sturgeon right on his
heels. In the first two laps, the leading
trio stayed neck and neck, until Arnet
tried to pass Jannings on the outside of
a berm, and went out of control. Sturgeon tried to slip underneath, and
Arnet suddenly shot across in front of
him , nailing Sturgeon's Yamaha
square on . The YZ's pipe was flattened
at its widest pan, and as Arnet rode
off into second, Sturgeon had to fight
to stay up in third. At the mote's end,
Jannings had a huge lead over Arnet
for the win and overall, with Sturgeon
coming in third and the same overall.

and tonight he was finally advanced to
the 250cc Pro ranks. It was a definite
change of pace.
Actually, Phil was not the only rider
on the line -up who was new to this
class. Ammex racer Gary Sewell left
the Intermediate pack as well. Both of
these riders handled it naturally and it
was good to have a couple of new
riders in this class because it is usually
too small. Todd Peterson was out and
he led the entire first mota. Dave
Behlings passed Riddle on the lOth lap
and trailing those two were Andy Guth
and Sewell.
In the final mota BehIings kept his
competitors behind him till the fifth
lap. Then he went down and this gave
Peterson the break he needed to win.
Guth advanced and took control over
Riddle. Overall it was Peterson, Guth,
Riddle and Behlings.
Now in other contests the riders who
won had it just like Todd Peterson did.
In the 250 Novice class Paul Bassett
took his Yamaha to a clean sweep
victory . Paul won each mota but received quite a hassle from the others:
In the first mota Bill Olson led till the
eighth lap then Bassett gained the
lead. Pat Nash has been out of the
racing action for a long time but he is
back into it now. Pat did not do too
hot in the first moto but made up for
that poor score by taking second in the
final moto. Pat led for a couple of laps
until Bassett made his move to the first
place spot and Nash settled in second.
Overall it was : Bassett, Vincent
Phillippi, Gary Hunt, Gary Clark and
Nash.
Gary Gonzales is one of the more
consistent riders in the 500cc Intermediate race. It seems like he is out
here every week and he keeps on
coming out because he is winmng so
much. He rides a Maico so maybe that
is pan of the reason. Gary won his
class overall ahead of Robert Leroy
Casper and Dave Pilarski.
