': Canada- Northern California-Northern Nevada-Oregon-Washington-Idaho-Utah-AI
Electric/Blue·Arc Dist.lND special took
both the 250 and 500cc Expen clasllrS
in roundy-round style.
Two heab of 80cc Experts made for
a great main event and it was the laid
back style of Mike Macedo at the
checkered. Mike ride his stock McGill
Yamaha YZ without a lot of pressure,
took a third in his heat, combined a
pretty good stan with some fine style
and won yet another main beating out
a good come-from-behind effon by
Winkie Freitas.
Winkie had little trouble in the
lOOcc Expm class riding the Dd
Calsrn-prrpprd machine to a bi~ win
ovrr Kun Chandler who was trymg to
set up a different operation. Craig
Johnson faded from the lead to third.
Tony Mitchell took the lOOccJunior
section with Matt Dequasi the Novice
winner in a seldom srm class. Chris
Carr, the National 100cc Amatrur
Champion, brought out the 1980
winner and devastated the 125cc class
getting a seldom sern chance to show
off the coveted plate that he now owns
for a total of 10. Think about 10
national title by the time you're 12,
and he figure he can get another 10
just before he finishes school and gars
Pro.
P.J. Sanchez rode the wheels off the
Bob's Garage KX250 in the 250cc
Novice class with fonner mini whiner
buddy Todd Bttcher right behind.
Chad Felicio had some very different
moves in keeping Chris Carr behind
him in the 250cc Junior main.
The name of the game for most of
the races of the night was in the starb
thanks to a narrow groove due to weather problems. Craig Scroggins had just
the right touch for that getting the
Glaze Ekctric/Bill Campbell/NDsparked Can-Am into the comer first
and foremost for the night. Keith Day
was all over him, but there was no way
around. He had to settle for second
with Aaron Hill buzzing his CR250R
right behind for the best first-time Expm ride srm in thrsr pans in some
time.
Mark Lacasa was the new winner in
the Open Novice show over almost old
man Chris Ghione. Don Stommdl
bested Kid Curry for the Junior win
and Scroggins was once again the winner in the Open Expen show over Day
with Dwayne McCaslin back in fonn
for third.

Clizbr took this event with a nine point
loss, three poinb ahead of his nearest
competitor, Mark Badgley. The
season is only five evenu old, but the
quiet young man from Bellingham has
put together three top scores so far.
The A and B riders enjoyed clear
weather, moderate temperature! and
a 72.5·mile course of two separate
loops. The Skagit M.C. staged the
evmt in the Walker Valley ORV area
and ran the first 6.6 miles to Check One
on ORV trails at 12 mph average. The
speed was then upped to a 24 mph
average on a long road section with
checks, both of which were easily
zeroed, at 13 and 17 miles. At 27.8
miles, the speed dropped to 12 mph
and the riders were put into a tight,
gnarly woods section of just less than
four miles. At mile 31.0, extreme
caution was advised as the riders en·
countered an old deteriorated log
bridge. Ridden correctly, it prrsrnted
no probletns. Most of the good riders
were able to hold their average into
Check Four. They were then given a
rrsrt and moved into the gas stop.
The second loop was run at an 18
mph average and was much more
challenging to the riders. Section five
was the big point collector as it contained mud holes, log strewn trail and
long, winding, Open bike uphills. Low
point loss on this section was claimed
by Clizbr and Mike Rossrr with fives.
Srction six contained more chal1enging uphills, some railroad grade and
more tight trail. Here some of the
riders wue able to pick up some time
- Clizbe, Church and Badgley all
dropped four fewer points than at the
last check. Mter Check Six, riders wel·
corned easier trail and gravel road,
and many were able to get back on
time. The course headed back to the
start .area and at mile 72.1 turned
abruptly up the hillside and back into
the woods for .4 miles of fresh cut,
tight trail. One to two poinb were
dropped by the top riders as they
finished.
As always, Mt. Baker M.C. fidded a
large and strong contingent of riders.
In addition to Clizbr in 250cc A, 125cc
A, 200cc B, 200cc A, 250cc B, Open B
and Open A were all won by MBMC
members. They had no entries in the
Masters or .l25cc B class. Top B rider
was Mike Rossrr (200cc B) with a 15
point loss. Rossrr's ride was especially
notable since he was victim of the
change to daylight savings time and
left the line well aftrr his start time
and was four minutes late at the first
check.
Ken ViIlinrs followed his Rattlesnake
win with another good finish to win
the Mastrrs class with a 19 point loss
and Gary Hoff (125cc B) once again
posted low 125cc score with a 26 point
