Bauer spent little time in working up to second place, where he settled down to watch Griewe's rear fender for most of the race. In the number three spot was a three way dice between Rick Rodgers (Kaw), David Gerig (Hus) and Craig Gormley (Yam). On the third lap, however, Gormley crashed and shonly after that, Gerig's rear brake we',lt away. This gave Rodgers a breathing spell before the next duo of Greg Zitterkopf (Mai) and Andy Orescanin (Kaw) came up to put in a challen~. On.the ninth lap, Zitterkopf moved mto third, but by that time, Griewe and Bauer were out of sight. Bauer had been using the tim.e to size up Griewe and the race for the lead was getting closer with every lap. Bauer finally found an opening and put it to use and through the rest of the moto, Griewe had to be satisfied with second. Mechanical troubles had dropped Zitterkopf to fifth in the late laps and taking third for the moto was Rodgers over a close Orescanin. Round two was the moto for Gormley to prove what he could d~. He was out of the money due to hIS DNF in round one, but he held it wide open anyway, nailing the holeshot and running away from the pack. Bauer was a secure second in the early laps, but Rodgers, Orescanin and Griewe staned gaining gtound in the end. The rest of the race was relatively uneventful. Griewe couldn't put in a ride to match his first moto when he joined the Gerig school of thought and lost his brakes. Orescanin passed Rodgers and made a stab at doing the same to Bauer, unsuccessfully. So the order at the finish was Gormley with a 20second lead, Bauer, Orescanin, Griewe and Rodgers. This gave Bauer the win over Griewe, Orescanin and Rodgers. The Mini Beginner class was large and competitive. First moto winner Ban Pitu (Hon) didn't finish the second race, while Chris Dominguez combined a 2-1 to take home top brass. Second overall went to Bill Bearse with a 5-2 score, topping Ray Chambers' 5-5 and Anthony Frenches' .-•. Rounding out the top five was Dave Bernard (Suz) with a sixth and a fifth. bofore _ . ~ - pertonnenc:e _ pluIic Improvwnem owr conwntfon" motorcycle _ .
