Inquiries Invited 34 snu 'THE FASTEST SERVICE AROUND Donnie Hansen, propelled by a red hot firecracker of a Honda, exploded off the line in both the 250cc and Open Pro races at Indian Dunes, racking up straight aces and giving the California Racing Club fans something to cheer about. The 250c£ Pro contest was a sizzler. The duel that went down between Hansen and Yamaha-sponsored Jim Holley the fint time around, had more action than all the old Hollyw09d westerns put together. Four times tbey exchanged command. Holley was des· perate and tried e¥ery trick known to mankind, plus two. to ahalte Ha~n and maintain the lead. Hansen finally slipped a' wheel under Hol~ey and made his getaway. Throughout this madness, Peter Snorteland. his foot stil1sore and swollen from surgery, put his DG Yamaha trhough its paces. Running"third, Snoneland was dosing on Holley and fighting to hold off Tim Locey in fourth. Locey's Yamaha was hot and managed a take·over of third and a charge at Holley by moto's end. Hansen led the way across the finish line, Holley was there for second and Locey protected third. ' The second round of action for the :i!50cc Pros was a ride in the country compared to their fust encounter. Hansen grabbed the holeshot with Snorteiand riding shotgun, Eric Buskirk in third. Traclt 'N Travel Maico·mounted .Ed Arnet in founh. and Holley rounding out the top five. and Holley found Buskirk themselves locked into a wheel· clashing duel until Holley flat-traclted ----------'" - ---- 80 NOV: 1.

Kerz, MannIng masterCRC ArroyoMX By Terry Rezek his way through one of the loops to take over third. Hansen was having a super.b ride. flying 50 feet off the jumps and setting up a 19-second lead over Snoneland. When the checkered flag waved them home. Iiansen took down top money for the day, second place loot· went to Holley with a 2-5 fmiah and Snoneland took third overall with a 42 tally. When the Open Pros blasted off for their fust moto. Snoneland's Yamaha led the way. Hansen's Honda was run· ning second and moving in for the kill. Hansen slipped into the lead, bringing with him Tracy Oswell and Locey. Snoneland was now in founh and rounding out the top five was Bob Schulz. piloting a Yamaha for Richter. Schulz found a dice for fifth on his hands with Bill Hagen, riding for In· ternational Yamaha, that carried both men down to the last lap. With two laps to go, Oswell found himself snared by banners. In the process of unwinding himself, Locey scooted on by. holding Oswell to third and Snoneland to founh until moto's end. When the big bore machines roared to life for their second round. Snorteland once mcn:e led the way with Oswell on his tail and' Hansen one bilr.elength behind Oswell. With Locey in founh. action was hot and furious for the lead. Hansen flat-traclted his way around Oswell in one of the sand loops and went after Snorteland. In founh, Locey kept malting passing· bids at Oswell but always got the door slammed in his face. Hansen had a magical line all his own which propelled him ahead of Snorteland and into command. soon setting up a healthy lead over Snoneland. Locey was slowing down in the sweepers, his bike heading south. leaving him no choice but to limp back to the pits. a disappointing end to a beautiful ride. When the finish line loomed into sight. Hansen zoomed acrOll for top honon, and snoneland claimed second place loot. Oswell picked up third place money and Schulz finished the day with a fourth overall.

By the time this sees print. the first amateur event in the Coliseum in four years will be history. Some of the hundreds of riders who wanted to be pan of that history took on the challenging Arroyo course today in an dfon to go from · the natural green amphitheatre of Arroyo to the concrete Coliseum canyons. In the combined 1008 and 125cc Beginner classes, Jerry Anker was easy to spot as his pumpkin-colored flight suit was always at the lead of the 100s and in the win column with frrst 100cc for the day. The good·sized field of 125cc Beginners saw more action - or at least more position changing. Jon Barrick got the holeshot but Ted Corots got by him soon after the first · tum and led for the first two laps. On lap three, Bobby Garabedian nipped Corots and took off for the finish line. Glenn Clark also took off for that line and wanted to get there enough to·slip by Garabedian on the next lap. Garabedian pressured Clark but the hoped for breu didn't come and Clark took the win with Garabedian second. Garabedian decided to mue his move sooner in mota two, and broke into the lead on the second lap. Clark knew a second would cost him the overall and began to battle his way up from back in the pack. By the white flag lap, he was really putting the squeeze on Garabedian, and just before· the checkered, seconds managed to slip past for the moto win and first overall. The Open Intermediates took off so fast that 1 couldn't tell who had the advantage off the stan, but Greg Draskovich literally jumped his Maico into the lead with a. spectacular pass right at the scoring booth. He was followed tightly by Bob Casper and Dan Glover. Casper moved even closer and began wearing the knobs off Draskovich's rear tire faster than the track was. On lap six, Casper got by and hung in there for the win. Shortly · after the white flag. Mike Burnett also slipped past Draskovich for second. Draskovich leaped into the lead right off the stan and held it for • s: ( • II ~ f.
