Peterson pops for
four at CAfC Ascot
By Tom Corley
GARDENA, CA, AUG. 20
Todd Peterson has just returned
from a racing trip in Utah. It was
his most successful event ever as
he won some big money by
sweeping more than one class against
the competition. Here at Ascot he
picked up two more wins by defeating
the 125 and 250cc Pro classes.
Peterson won every moto. But in
each class Tim Lunde was either in the
lead for a short while or trailing by just
a few bikelengths. In the 125cc Pro
class Peterson didn't get either holeshot
but worked his way up to first. Lunde
followed him in second 'the whole
time. Whent he money was handed
out it was Peterson, Lunde, Doug
Bowers and BryanJordan.
The 250cc Pro class was quite
similar to the 125cc race. It was a
three way battle in the first moto with
Peterson 'In top and Tim Lunde in
second whih.. his brother Chuck was
third. Tim Lunde grabbed the lead in
the second mota but wasn't able to
hold it for long. He was hauling down
a straight section and went into a wild
wheelie when he shifted. His back tire
must have gotten too much traction
and at this' point Todd made his
move. Peterson took over first ahead of
Tim and Jeff Jennings, who hasn't been
out in some time, was third. On the
payoff list it was Peterson, Tim
Lunde, Jennings and Chuck Lunde.
"Rick Johnson continues to be the
quickest 250cc Junior rider around.
He won the second division with a 2·1
score. Ted Hammer aced Rick out in
the first mota but DNF the last race.
Rick took the final mota win in front
of Gungie Strauss, Jeff Utterback and
Steve Wolcott.
The 125cc Junior class had a new
winner, Bill Thiebert (Kaw). In the
first moto Skip Early took the win and
Bill was third. Thiebert got the
holeshot in the second mota and
looked ba'ck to see how he was doing.
He was well out front of Mike Allen
who was in second but was no threat to
Bill because Mark had a bad first moto
score. Winning the overall trophy was
Thiebert, followed by Early, Lee
Webster, Rob Moore and Eddie
Ramirez.
