After him both times was Willie Surratt. ORANGE. CA, MAR. 8 The heavy rains blotted out the previous weekend's NMA/Kawasaki Wimemationals event at Barona, causing the race to be . re-scheduled for March 15. The only thing that came down from above for this day's Saddleback event was well appreciated sunshine. A regularly scheduled CRC motocross race was held on the International track so the NMA and its several hundred riden fitted onto the back track as the good times continued to roll. Kyle Fleming from Glendale, AZ, was an out of state rider whose trip was well worth it. You can't beat going back home with three fint place trophiesl Fleming defeated Shane Sheffield in the Junior Cycle Modified Novice 9·11 race. Fleming then mounted his 85cc machines and won everything he entered. In the Stock Novice 9·11 race Kyle took the fint moto win over Marty Rickard. With the second moto action Kyle became a little confused. There were two waves going off the staning gate in race 19 and Kyle charged down the starting stretch with the Intermediate riden but then realized it was the wrong class and turned back. When the next wave took off Fleming got the holeshot over the Novices and went on to take it overall ahead of Jeff Reynolds and Rickard. In the 85cc Modified Movice 9- II race Fleming wasn't confused about anything. He knew exactly what to do and proceeded to take two flnt place wins which took care of the comper· iton. Rickard settled in the second place position in front of Reynolds. 46 It would be hard to cover this race ·and not mention Scott Brown. Fleming did fantastic with three wins but Brown really outdid the rest by taking the four fint place winsl The NMA spent half their trophy bill on him. He mounted on Ya"mahas to win the Junior Cycle Modified Inter· mediate 9·11 race as well as the Stock event. Kyle Lewis was his closest competitor in both cases. Lewis was CUrt McCuistion is sponsored by Team Green and he proved himself on the track today with two fine wins. In the uSec Stock Expert class he aced out Ron Lechien, who was racing Minis just last year. Ron is too tall to race Minis. He resembles Mike Bell not only does he race Yamahas but he grows a few inches in between motos. David Saxton was third in that contest while Dennis Hulen was fourth. McCuistion deserves credit for his other win which was the 250cc race where he defeated Mike Dodge and Glen Licon. . Don't forget the big race that is coming quickly, that's the World Mini Grand Prix to be held at Saddleback on April 10·12. Results PEE WEE STJ(: 1. DuoIin E-. ChoI; 2.
