-canada- Northern california-Northern In the 80cc Novices, yet another Kawasaki of Salinas rider is setting the pace for the checkered flags, Young Jeremy Chisum took his KX80 to the come-from-behind win over Jeff Pestana and just to keep Team Green envious, Joey Diaz beat out Ricky Diaz in the 80cc Junior class once again on a Kawasaki. In the hot and heavy 80cc Expert main, it was once again Kurt Chandler doing the driving on his Salinas KX80 with excellent style over Winkie Freitas and Carr. Freitas led most of the show, but succumbed to the pressure of the fast tooter. Dave Cabellero beat out Eric Kiser for the I25cc Novice/Junior class with Adam Sabedra the 250cc Novice winner over Lenny Cruze and Steve Fischer. The usual madhouse of 250cc animals saw Pete Murray take the 250cc Junior win over Caballero, both on NO-sparked Champion Yamahas b'reathed upon by Bud Martin while Ronnie Evans took third on the RC Cycles Yamaha. Larry Krusemann got the lightning bolt start for this week's thriller 250cc Expert race along with Bruce Johnson, Dave Boyles, Jim Mertens, Danny Moore and Chandler about in the middle of things. Boyles dispatched Johnson as Mertens moved alongside while Moore and Chandler kept up their own battle. By the third lap, Johnson had regained second and set up Kruseman when a four-man contingent swept by those two putting Boyles in front of Moore and Chandler. By lap eight, Chandler moved by Moore and before the white flew, went around Boyles and did his sixth straight 250cc win in fancy style. Another excellent main event. Mike Ahm has little trouble keeping his Red Ahm Cycle Honda in the front part of the ~60cc Junior class with John Carter once again second. Steve Carrillo out-horsepowered the ~60cc Expert class with Rocky Malynn keeping him honest on his Bul over Kevin Hugill's·Yamaha. Ben Mosier is once again around the tracks watching Denny Mosier do some winning in the 500cc Novice class. Steve Nunes likes dad's track prep more and more and won 500cc Junior over Rich Kroske's Cycle Salvage Honda. Bob Cunnington and Rick Eklund were never more surprised to see both Danny Moore and Doug Chandler sweep by them down the back straight in the opening lap of the 500cc Expert main with Chandler taking the point early and leading to the checkered for a truly wonderous double header victory. His ftrst of that kind in some time panned out even more when the organizers came up with yet another event called the "King of the .Bay" where they took 14 Experts and ran for all the money. Chanlder was so hot, he took that one with no sweat whatsoever. Wow, a triplel • Results 100 EX: 1. Chfis CMT ISuzl; 2. P.J. Sanchez (Vaml. lIO NOV: 1. Jeremy Chisum IKaw); 2.
