Spar stacks 'em up at CRC nIght ItX By Tom Corley VALENCIA, CA, SEPT. 25 The battle fOT 125cc Intermediate supremacy continued at the California Racing Club's Indian Dunes nighttime action. Jon Alnander has chalked up more total willS than any other rider but not far behind him in most battles is John Spar. Alexander was out of a bike so a friend loaned him his Yamaha. They almost puUed it off as John was trying for his third straight win. Alexander got the holeshot in the fint molO and led the pack with run Boyd charging in second. Soon Spar passed Boyd and had second but was unable to get by Alexander. A bad break in the final moto changed the outcome of this class. While in first, Alexander's Yamaha seized up, mocking him out of the race. Spar was in second place but when he saw Alexander parked to the side of the track he mew that. he had the lead. Boyd had second wired and Rich Truchinski was third and though he stalled his bike once he didn't lose his position. Kal-Gard-sponsored Spar won it owrall ahead of Boyd and Truchinski. Tun joeeph loaned Jon Alexander his bike but he raced as well in the 125ce Beginner division one class. This race CODCluded before the final 125cc Intermediate race so the motor on the Yamaha was working fine. In the first moto there was a pile-up and seYeral riders went down. Joseph took a fourth place start, then worked his way past two riders and caught leader Jon Barrick on the score tower comer and took over the .lead. In the final race the going was much easier fOl" Joseph. He led from wire to wire and didn't have to avoid a crash or pass any other riders. Scott Nelson improved sixth in the first moto to a fine second place in this final. A I-I tally gave Joseph the decisive victory ahead of Nelson and Bob Steinbach. Two new winners emerged in the 125 and 250cc Pro classes. Jon Ortner took his first Friday night 125cc Pro win this seaosn. A fine 2-2 taDy helped him to do this over Rob Peeples who had a 1-5 tally while Rusty went 6-1. The other new winner was John Biflle or the 250cc Pro class. Bifffe is new in this class and though he took many willS in the 250cc Intermediates this was a first for him in the Pro class. Biffle had a fine 2-5 placing while the winner of the first moto, Erin Buskirlr., DNF the final. On the other hand, Rob ToUeson DNF the first race but won the fmal.

In moto one Robert Nolin took the hoIeshot, leading Brady, Dave Hamada and RicIt Malti. Nolin gassed his way to an eight second lead by lap seven. Brady started working his way through the field after tangling with Hamada on lap one and dropping lo fifth with Hamada sixth. By the ninth lap Brady was dicing with Malti fOl" second, which he took on the 11th lap. Nolin kept his pace to win by 12 seconds. Brady finished second with a mtall lead over Malti. Nolin was back out in front after the start of the second moto. Brady was second off the line with Hamada and Malti coming out even lo baule for third. Malti took over third going over the ledge of lap one, then moved up lo second when he passed Brady 011 lap three. Malti caught Nolin lo dice for the lead on the fifth lap. Malti and Noli fouPt for the lead tiD Nolin cracked his frame and feU off the pace_ Nolin fell back to third after being passed by Brady three laps later. Brady started to make his move, closing the gap on· Malti. Brady caught Malti on the start of the 12th lap lo dice for the lead. It looked like Brady was going to take over the lead on the uphill but he bounced out of control, and we thought Malti would hold his now four second lead. But Malti was having his own problems: "Everytime my front tire would hit hard the brake would lock up and then release, malting it hard to just stay on," Malti said later. Brady closed MaIti'slead for the second time, but this time with only one lap to go. Brady moved into the lead on the downhiU when Malti couldn't hold the pace. Brady rode on for the win with Malti second and Nolin third, with his frame broken in two. David Gerig took the overaU in the Open class to add to his CMC points lead. The first moto was a battle to the end with Gerig passing Scott Johnson on the last tum to win by half a wheel. The second moto was Gerig's start to fmiah, with Johnson again second.
