(Continued/rom page 28) Cannon domInates 250s; Hames, Grlewe split Open wins at Corona HM&rr By Elaine Jones CORONA, CA, OCT. 7 The turnout was light as the weather starts to get cooler, but what was lacking in quantity was more than made up for in quality at Corona's half mile and TT. " 32 The Money races, although scored separately, went off together on the TT, and it was Don Griewe, better known in motocl'OllS circles, who got the jump on the field. Right behind him came the first 250cc rider, Curtis Cannon, with Open rider Jimmy Rosa in third and 250cc rider Roger Thomp· son fourth. It was Thompson who made the first move, and it came on the fourth lap when Rosa's motor started going sour. Cannon, wanting to keep some distance between himself and Thompson, picked off Griewe one lap later and said adios to everyone. Attri~ion problems took their toll as Open rider Ron Bell was the first to fall, and 250cc rider John Barricklow held on for seven of the 10 laps before his engine went south. Rosa, who was definitely having problems, kept things together for the distance and collected second' behind Griewe who did an outstanding job riding a motocross bike, knobbies and all. Cannon was the 250cc winner with Thompson second. The 250cc Money half mile had Curtis Cannon all over it as he went wire to wire. He got one scare for an instant when Greg Nelson wielted it up and blew by on the baelt straightaway, but Nelson went in too hot and ended up sliding into the wall in turn four. Thompson kept the pressure up but had pielted a high line that didn't help him much and .had to settle for second. Pete Hames had his big Harley work· ing to full capacity in the ()pen Money half mile. Tommy Walton, also Harley·mounted, did a nice little step off on the second lap that didn't hurt him but did cut his racing short. Joe Steffen moved in to fill the gap, but he is still sorting things out and getting his riding legs baelt. Although he ran good, it wasn't good enough to catch Hames. Jimmy Rosa pielted up third. Steffen fared much better in the Open Expert half mile where he battled with Tommy Walton for five laps before he was able to get around him. Walton held on to second for one more lap and again was struck by bad luck and dropped to last with Don Griewe and Mike Redding moving up to the second and third spots. Dan Kane topped Mike Roach and John Barricklow to take the TT win. Robert Little was the big winner in Open Amateur as he took the half mile win going wire to wire. The TT wasn't quite so easy. There was a single lap restart with Little in the last spot. He started moving upward immediately getting by Bob Huntsmen then Keith Bradford. It was betweel! ~If and at the Dunes. A weeltly showdown has been going on between Jason Bigga and Jelle James. This time Bigga took home the first place trophy, brealting James' two week winning strealt. James was on his way to continue his winning streak as he won the fmt moto ahead of Bigga and Travis Rendich. A few problema hurt James in the final moto. His Yamaha wasn't running good at all and Bigs came through the checltered flag ahead of him and also Bobby Garcia. After looking over James' Yamaha a craelt was dilcovered on the frame. Taking the win in the final moto earned Bigs the fint place trophy ahead of james and Garcia. Du.stin Evans battled three others in the 60cc Junior g·11 c1aII. Dustin won the fint moto ahead of Jim Chamberlin and Tony Sulek. In the final moto Sulelt got a better start and had the lead poRtion while Enna wu poRtioned in second. Chamberlin had a hard time keeping it on the traelt and pulled off to the side once. A 1-2 tally gave first to Evana. Sulek's S-I won him second overall over Chamberlin and Joel ToItanlty. Evalll a1Io entered the 80cc Stoclt Beginner 9·11 race. This time he had to settle for a second place trophy because Milte Gilmore had a better points finish. Wade Gatlin looked like he was going to wallt off with it in the first moto as he took first in front of Gilmore. jason Vanderpool and Evans. In the final moto Evalll had his turn to lead the pack but Gatlin didn't like it and was hounding Dustin. Gatlin was really pushing himself and eventually fell down. This allowed Gilmore to advance to second and Vanderpool was in third. A pair of seconda~ Mike Gilmore four points which out Dustin Evalll hy one point on e official ~tI. Results PH WEE $Tl( JII: 1 .
