day. Englund grabbed fourth and Johnson fifth. 500cc Pro "I'm hunin' a bit right now," noted Rocket Man Staten after clinching the SOOcc Pro win, "and it's kinda hard to hold onto the bars with my hand swollen so bad but I'm really getting stronger and I'll be ready to win the SOOcc National title this year. 1 want it $000 badl" Staten was on form despite his hand as ~ battled with and beat the Califor· nia Kid, Glover, in the first moto. Glover found the traction to grab the early lead with Staten and Maico rider Eric McKenna in tow. With three of the top five poinu earners running 1-2-S the action had to be intense. And it was as Staten closed on and finally passed Glover with both riders hard on the gas and nearly out of control. Maico rider Dave Coupe and McKenna dueled for the third position while Arlo Englund, Husky rider Steve Rhyan and Wheel· smith Maico pilot Will Harper argued over the next three slou. International star Brad Lackey and Pro Circuit Husky rider Jeff Jennings both tumbled in the early going and left Lackey off form and Jennings out of the race with a brain concussion. Staten held the lead to the checkers with Glover second, McKenna third, Maico rider Kevin Davis fourth and Englund fifth. Davis trenched the stan line and knifed into the early second moto lead 'with McKenna and Staten in tow. Davis and McKenna lOOKed ready to put Maico in the winner's circle until Glover moved into fourth and Staten found a few more ponies. Staten dove under McKenna and blasted Davis over the tricky stadium-styled jumps with an incredible leap that nearly put Staten off the track. McKenna and Davis dueled for second place with Davis missing a berm and Glover using the opportunity to move up one notch. Glover was unable to sustain a drive that would caTty him past McKenna ("I only had four hours of sleep and this is a rough track," noted Glover) and the front three positions went un· changed. Englun4 and Can·Am rider Jerome Heiberger rode wheel to wheel for most of the moto and Englund picked up fourth as Davis faded at the finish. Heiberger was sixth. Staten closed the gap on Glover's point lead with the overall win and McKenna stayed close to the hunt with second for the day. Glover posted a third place overall score while Englund picked up founh and Davis fifth. • CO 0') See the new 1981 motorcycle models from Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Harley-Davidson, BMW, Can-Am, KTM, Italjet, Moto-Guzzi, Sachs, Vespa, Ducati, Carabela, Kreidler, Krauser, and R.C.
