was a no show. too, though. and we
had a clear, crisp day and a perfect
track.
With the smaller turnout and the
combining of some of the classes. there
was time for three motos. As a result
the 250 and Open Intermediate riders
were nearly begging for mercy before
the day was over. They rode with the
Pros - three 1I0-minute motos. Tim
Fittro (Yam) survived to take the
Open Intermediate brass and Dave
EaJr.in (Hon) did more than survive in
taking the 250cc honors. Dave ended
up making more total laps than even
the Pros by the time they took tums
with a variety of troubles.
Pros Jim Anderson on a 125
Yamaha and Rowdy Blasdell on a 250
Husky gave us some exciting laps even
when they were not on the same lap.
At one point or another. each was out
of it for a lap or more for mechanical
problems. Randy Hubbard (Yam) was
out. too, but his was for recovery from
a spectacular get-off when he miscalculated the double jump in the first
moto.
In the second moto, Anderson was a
lap down when he came up behind
Blasdell to dog him mercilessly.
Coming around a tight comer,
Rowdy's front wheel washed out and
Jim narrowly missed nailing him.
Then Jim stopped, looked back, sat
and waited for Rowdy to lead the way
again. The chase was not to last long
because Rowdy was soon out with a
Oat front tire.
Three of the Mini Juniors raced
themselves right into the Intermediate
class today. Brent DeLay (Yam).
Darren Rogers (Kaw) and Shane
Cameron (Suz) mixed it up well
among themsdves. but they were out
of sight of the rest of the group most of
the time. Shane did drag out a fourth
in the first moto after being tangled
with the gate, but he joined the crew
for the final two motos for a second
and third. Brent put a second and two
wins out front of Darren's I-1I-2
record. These guys are going to shake
up the lntennediate class, too.
Howard Howe (Suz) was winner of
the 1I0 to 40 Senior group while Larry
Sause (Hon) worked up the ladder
with a third, a second and finally a win
for second overall. Stu Osborne (Yam)
triple aced the Junior class and will
find himself a Senior next time out.
