Festavan were flying down the front chute side by side. At the crossed flags West took the lead from Parault and two laps later Parault coasted into the pita. West went on to win by a large margin over Festavan. Twelve 85cc Junior Modifieds buzzed off the two row starting line with Thomas Carriger leading Randy Turbett. Kregg Bently quickly shot into second but Craig Howard came from ftfth to ftrst by the third lap and began to open up a lead on the fteld. Bentley and Carriger were in a fterce battle for second as Robbie Blagg soon joined their scrap. At the white flag Blagg took second but coming out of the last tum Bentley got it back at the flag. Steven Hill got too good of a hole· shot (before the light turned green) so the race was stopped and restarted. This time it was a blonde female, Buffy Eads McKinney, with flowers and things all over her pink leathers, burning a mean holeshot and taking the lead as Biil Graves, Todd Beecher and Jeff Franzenburg ganged up and fought for the lead. But two of them crashed and the race was stopped. On this restart it was Aaron Hill leading Nickie Fontana and McKinney but another crash brought out the red flag. Another crash caused the ftfth red flag to come au t. By now there were only nine of the original 12 riders ieft but on this restart there was to be no more red flags. Aaron Hill led Fontana and Steven Hill. By lap three McKinney moved into fourth around Beecher but a lap later he got it back. Hill, Fontana and Hiil ran away from the fteld and they stayed close until the end when Aaron won by three lengrhs over Fontana. Duane Duvall led the IOOcc Schoolboys off the line but by tum three Chris Carr was in the lead. Winkie Freitas and John Kocinski battled for third but by lap three Freitas moved into second. Midway Duvall took third and on the last lap Ross Duncan got by Kocinski for fourth as Carr bagged his ftfth win in ftve starts. Andy Richardson was gone like a rocket in the 125cc Schoolboy ftnal while the other 11 literally fought over second. Mark Hartley ftnally ed~ into second while Zeb Morton took third. But on the last turn of the last lap Morton crashed, letting Patrick Murray and Ross Duncan ftght over third to the flag with Murray getting it by half a length. 1IIfI SI,• • • Owck Sun, 1980's National 5lXJa: Motocross Champion. ,..,r-r: ,''''''': Factory 1911fT1 Honda; fJfIIifNf!Is in &li-Ray. &!/-Ray, dflIivfIting IlImonDw's lIIchnoIogy in IubticaIiaJ tlJday. 1980's baI1IIllrx IhB NaIionaI 5lXJa: MaIoctoss CfI1IItrI is 0Wlf.
