Carlsbad IftA
..v
By Lee Taylor
CARLSBAD, CA, DEC. 21
California Racing Club riders
descended on Carlsbad the Sun·
day before Christmas, out for a
crack at the gold, an early Christ·
mas present. And the spectators waal't
disappointed.
In the 125cc Pro race, they cheered
themselves hoane as Cun McCuistion
put his Christmas green Kawasalr.i
through iu paces and turned lOme lap
times that would put Santa·s. reindeer
to shame. In both motos McCuistion
had Yamaha Motor Corp. rider Erik
Kehoe eating his dust and Steve
Bolger,
also
Yamaha·mounted,
running a hot third. Both motos saw
the same action as McCuistion tied a
ribbon around top money for the clUl.
Kehoe took home second place loot
and Bolger came acrOlS with a solid 5·
5 ride.
The 80cc Beginners chewed up the
Carlsbad turf with tight action going
throughout both motos. Jimmy Moon
let his Yamaha loose and into the lead,
on his way to back·to· back wins.
Ramon Dominquez followed suit in
second, leaving a battle royale to be
waged over third between Jason
Davenpon and David Kirkpatrick.
Davenpon controUed the third place
slot throughout the fust moto but the
second time around, lost control to
Kirkpatrick. Davenpon came through
by the end of the day with third
overall. pushing Kirkpatrick to founh.
James Nyysti pushed both riders
relentlessly throughout the day to grab
fifth overall.
The 250cc Pros saw Mike Tripes
clean up for the day with a spectacular
pair of wins. Dave Hamada, who had
a founh the fU'st time around, pushed
his Kawasalr.i to the limit in the second
moto, breathing fire down Tripes'
jersey and holding second to the wire
for second place bounty. David
Hammond, who held a finn second
the first time out, was pushed back to
founh in the second moto and ended
tI,e day with a third ~.u.
