VALENCIA, CA, MAY 29
It was quite a night of racing at
Indian Dunes, .hosted by American Motocross Enterprises.
The fint Pro race off the line
was the 1251, with Simi Cycle Yamahamounted John Drury fint to the first
tum. Fellow Simi Cycle rider Jim Simons (Suz) was in hot punuit of Drury,
and International Yamaha's' Steve
Schmiu held third. Schmiu later took
Simons for second, but there was no
way Drury was going to give up the lead.
Round two saw Simons taking the
checkered fint with Drury a safe second over Cycle Products West Suzuki
rider Perry Cendro. Drury was the
overall winner with Simons second.
Cendro's 5-5 placed him third.
When the 250cc Pros blasted off the
line for their first moto, Bob Kline and
his Dick Allen/Kal-Gard Yamaha assumed the point position, with Yamaha's Jim Holley and O'Neal Suzuki
rider Ken Zahrt running 2·5. Holley
pressured Kline for a shot at the lead,
but Kline held him off and took the
first moto win.
Kline pulled a repeat holeshot in the
second round with Holley again right
on his tail. Holley again kept the pressure on and this time he was succesBful,
passing Kline and taking the overall
win. Third in the standings went to
Kolbe Can-Am pilot Steve Rawson
and his 5-4 tally.
It was back to back wins in the Open
Pro class for Foothill Yamaha's Joe
Root as he led holeshot to checkered
flag in both motos. Second went to
O'Neal Yamaha rider Doug Lawrence
and third was taken by Rob Martindale
(Phil's Cycle Shop Mai).
Re.ults
1211 PlIO: 1. John Drwy lV....; 2. Jim Simano lSuzl;
Some of the Pros who normally
dominate the Arroyo track were
absent today but the racing was
still as hot as the temperature.
The Minis were out in force, probably
sharpening up for the NMA qualifier
which was to be held at the Arroyo
facility June 14. The Over the Hill
Gang also had a good turnout, proving
once again that it is still poesible to
have a good time while you're racing.
Things really started buzzing when
the second race of the day got
underway. This was the 80cc Stock
Beginners and all the 60s. When these
track termites began swarming, you
knew that the future of racing was in
good hands - small but goodl The
fastest of those small hands belonged
to John Howell, riding a Rustan's
Yamaha. Ahout 10 seconds after the
stan, the other 60s knew that trying to
catch Howell would.be like picking up
watermelon seeds with soapy hands.
He squined to the lead of the 60s in
both motos and slipped past about
half of the earlier staning 80s by moto
end. Of those 80s, John Hastings made
an early bid for the lead by shooting
out of the middle of the pack to get
through the fint turn first. He was
only able to maintain that lead for one
lap before Steven Gamble elbowed his
way to the lead and, once there, would
not relinquish it to the repeatedly attacking Hastings. Moto one finished
with Gamble in first, Hastings second
and Jason Coolbaugh in third.
Moto two had a new contender for
fastest off the line as Kenny Collier hit
the top of the staning hill first, but by
the time the pack hit the scoring area
about 500 meters later, Coolbough
was in the lead and looking for air.
Gamble got a mediocre stan and had
to work to get second by the end of lap
one. That was not good enough and by
the end of lap two, Gamble was in first
to stay. Hastings worked his way to
third by moto's end to get second overall for the day behind Gamble.
The BOcc parade continued into the
next event. The two Expert/Pro riders
showed why they had that c1a8ification
when Jason Rincon put his super quick
Kawasaki first off the start and Larry
Brooks used his great natural talent
and his CRF Yamaha to fight past
Rincon and streak in for the win. Intermediate Jason Prater was clearly
looking for a higher cla.-mation in
t
ArI
M
the Pros to take fint in his class for this
moto.
Moto two was Brooks' ball game; he
led from gate to flag, looking back
only occasionally to be sure there was
still someone on the track with him.
There were plenty of people back in
second. Bill Surratt was there right off
the line and through the first complete
lap when Prater moved up to take
second away from him and hold that
position to the end. Rincon came in on
lap three to hold third briefly but
Surrat got back in there to finish the
moto in third behind Brooks and Prater.
Only slightly funher back, Novice
Roger Ebling rode another Rincon
Kawasaki to two moto wins to take first
in that class.
The next event pitted the Open and
250cc Intermediates. Mark Anderson
(La Habra Yam) grabbed an early
lead and held it to the halfway point.
Mark Johnson (Southland Suz) dove
under Anderson and came up for air
in the lead. Anderson tried mIghtily to
get it back, but ran out of moto.
When the gate dropped for moto
two, Anderson snatched the lead
immediately. From the fint tum to the
checkered flag, Anderson managed to
stay just a tire's breath ahead of
Johnson. With a better finish in the
second moto, Anderson took the
overall.
