a little bit. I think we are finally in the
ballpark. I kept my head together and
my lines consistent. ,.
Mark contested Eagan (Cycle World/
ND Honda 4OQ-Hawk) for the lead in
the early laps, but pulled away from
Pat after the fifth lap. Eagan had to
contend with more than his opponents
on the racetrack to secure second
place, however. Pat had been previously protested by an AFM official for
using illegal parts, but was subsequently vindicated by the AFM National
Board. Unsponsored Martin Vogel
(Yam RD400) placed third after he
"started slippin' and slidin' and decided
to cool it."
Gary Broeder again piloted his Palo
Alto Yamaha XT500 to the 600cc Production win with Dan Anderson (Yam
500) repeating as runnerup. Ray
Straka (Kaw 550) came in third.
Straka, incidentally, has been increasingly successful at Golden State, and
augmented his 600cc trophy with two
more places that occurred in back-toback races (second 600cc Box Stock
and third 750cc Box Stock).
Straka, one will recall, was the
pen;on who loaned his Kawasaki 750 to
Mark Shelton a few races ago. Shelton
went out and won his Box Stock race,
beating numerous Open class (750cc
and up) bikes in the process and finishing fin;t overall.
Mike Spencer (Champion Cycles)
drove his Kawasakis to three wins
again today. Mike used a KZ550 for
the 600cc Box Stock race and a modified KZ650 for the 750cc Production
and 750cc Superstreet races. He took
home $300 from Kawasaki Motor Co.
for the Box Stock and Production victories. Mark Shelton and Lee Fleming
also were rewarded by Kawasaki for
their efforts.
In other action, Greg Overman
piloted his Can-Am to yet another
200cc Production win with Jon Lisker
the runnerup. Christine Baur placed
third. Jim Siemens (Yam RD350) took
430cc Box Stock, Bob B.unyon (Bill
smith RD430) easily won 600cc Superstreet and 500cc GP, and Rich Oliver
(Kaw Z-I) finally sorted out his handling problems and won Open Superstreet. Open GP has been converted
into "Z- I Heaven," as all finishen; of
that class (including winner Kerry
Bryant) were on the big Kawaski [our·
strokers.
The next AFM races at Golden State
In!'!. Raceway are the final points race
on October 12, followed on November
2 by the third annual endurance roadraCe, Enduro III.
