Although the I25cc riden were at a slight disadvantage, they still managed to place well in the standings. In the fint moto the horsepower of MacCracken and Yamaha of Cuca· monga's Ted Hoyt roosted their way into the lead followed by the thrtt 125cc riden, HRP's Brent Blount (Suz), Rick Rodgen (Yam) and Harley Hall (Suz). By the second lap Blount put the move on Hoyt for second while Hall also made his move by passing Rodgen for founh. MacCracken con· tinued his route until the finish. The rest of the paclr. followed in order. '. When the gate dropped for the sec· ond moto it was MacCraclr.en who grabbed the holeshot followed closely by Hoyt, Rodgen and Hall. It looked as though Hoyt might give MacCraclr.en a race, but Hoyt's effons ended early when he washed out in a sandy berm. Blount ran into him, causing a momentary break in the 125cc rider's pace. As MacCraclten began to run away all eyes were o'n the second place battle betwttn Rodgen and Hall. But the battle was over early when Rodgers went down, a victim pf the stadium whoops. Meanwhile, Blount reeled in Hall after his earlier mishap, only to lowside with two laps remaining. MacCraclr.en went on to another easy win, followed by Hall, Blount and Hoyt. Jaclr. Scott of Pomona Yamaha took top honon in the l!50cc Intermediate class by consistently winning both motos, Scott's closest competitor was Yamaha·mounted Kevin Broob. Broob hounded Scott throughout the fint moto but couldn't quite match Scott's perfonnance. Another Yamaha of Pomona rider, Rusty Taflinger, put in a good ride, finishing behind Broob. Founh spot went to Scott Conaway.(Yam). The second moto wasn't quite as easy for Scott when Broob took command on the second lap: Trailing Broob were Scott, Taflinger and Con· away. Broob couldn't shake Scott as the two leaden began to pull away from the pack. The two riden were dicing for the lead throughout the moto until Scott slipped by Broob on the white flag lap to take the win and the overall. While the two leaden b,ttled. Conaway and Taflinger were engaged in their own duel. Like Scott, Conaway also waited until the last lap to pass Taflinger for third. Results MINI BEG: 1. Gone - . , lV_I; 2. lenny Guyen lV_I; 3.

A lot of fans stayed until the end of the evening to see how well the Pros could negotiate the turns and jumps going the wrong way. The win went to factory Kawasaii .rider Goat Brelter. who was making his fint appearance of the year at OCIR. Goat took the lead out of the gate and held on as most everyone was being cautious.

Breker maintained his lead while on the last lap Richard Collins really let it fly off the big jump but could not improve his position, T~e 250cc Novice class seemed as though Bill Scott was going to win both motos easily but engine problems in the second moto caused him to fall baclr., Scott took the holeshot in the fint moto with Todd Cunningham right behind.
