250cc Intermediate win after a crash
nearly put him out of the running in
the first round.
Kelly McGuire (Yam) jumped out of
the hole in the first race with Pete
Vetrano (Suz) in a close second place.
It was on the first lap that Weber went
down. While he remounted and staned
working his way back to the front of
the pack, McGuire was running away
with the lead. Pat Halliman (Hon) had
passed Vetrano for second, but neither
of them were within sight of the leader.
It was at the halfway point that Weber
shot past both Vetrano and Halliman
to move into second. Then he started
to reel in McGuire, but the checkered
flag came out before the Suzuki pilot
could make his move.
In the second race, McGuire again
took the holeshot with HalJiman in
second and Weber in third. It wasn't
long before McGuire and Weber had
pulled away from the pack in a private
duel for the lead. Weber found an
opening on the fourth lap and moved
into the lead, leaving McGuire to be
happy with second place. Overall, the
Weber,
McGuire,
results
were
Halliman, Mille Kell (Mai) and Butch
Peick (Yam).
In the Pro ranks it was Andy Orescanin (Kaw), coming back after a long
layoff with a broken ankle, who did
the jamming. He took both 250cc Pro
class motos from start to finish. In the
first moto Jeff Prieur (C-A) took
second place in spite of some early
pressure from Larry Roeseler (Yam).
But Roeseler dropped out of the race
in the late laps, leaving third to Chris
Tarvin (Hon). Tarvin placed second to
Orescanin in the next round, with
Prieur ~ettin~ third.
Danny Burtt was another runaway
Pro winner, smoking both Open
motos. Rick Zobel got second in round
one, but DNF in the next one, giving
the spot to Andy Jannings (Mai) over
Eddie Michetti (C·~).
