The 500cc Pros had some heavy talent in their ranks - the stan was thunderousl Clark Jones put his Wheelsmith Maico into an early lead with Eric MacCracken's Answer Products Yamaha right behind him. Greg Zitterkopf was hovering his Montclair Yamaha in third for the moment, looking for the right opening. The first break came in lap four when MacCracken managed to come up with two flat tires, making the big bike nearly uncontrollable. Zitterkopf moved into second and staned to apply tremendous pressure to Jones. Within a lap and a half, Zitterkopf zipped into first, from then on, just stretched the lead out. That took care of moto one. Moto two got off to an equally exciting stan. It was a neck and neck drag race between Jeff Hicks, who had DNF in moto one, and Zitterltopf. Hicks got his handlebar in front of Zitterkopf at the first tum and came around at the end of lap one in the lead. Jones was in third from the beginning. The three of them circumnavigated the track for the next 25 minutes as if lashed together with a belaying line; never more than a few seconds between them. They finished in that order. Zitterkopfs 1-2 were just right for first place money while Jones' 2-~ finishes netted him second for the day. David Taylor took the immediate lead of the flnt 250cc moto on his La Habra Yamaha and never looked back. He didn:t dare; Scott Manning was in his back pocket for the entire race and only seconds were ever be· tween them. Taylor rode brilliantly and hung onto the lead to the end. Manning was forced to settle for second. Brian Myencough brought his U.S. Suzuki from the middle of the pack to pass Troy Manning on the last lap to get third. Myencough needed that third to- give himIeJ£ a .chance. at an overall. with a win in the second moto. At the stan of the second moto, it didn't look as though Myencough would get his wish. From that end of lap one through lap eight, the top four were Craig Gormley, Taylor, Manning and Myencough. With less than seven seconds between flnt and fourth, the racing got fierce. On lap nine Gonnley spun out briefly and Taylor and Man· ning got by before he could recover. By lap 10, Myencough had passed Gonnley and pushed Manning right up into Taylor's heels. The three were literally inches apan as the white flag went up and Myencough went for the maximum effort. The force was with him and, when the checkered replaced the white, it was Myencough in first. However, that last lap coup was not quite enough when combined with the first moto third, Myencough had to take second overall honors. Taylor rode smart in moto two, knowing that a second would earn him first place money. In contrast with the barroom brawls in the 500 and 250cc races, the 125cc Pro event was almost uneventful. In moto one, Gary Denton put the front wheel of Suzuki West over the gate even as it fell, and 12 laps later, put that wheel first past the finish line. Richard Sands and Richard Hoffman chased but couldn't touch him and settled for second and third at the end as they had throughout the race. Moto two JVas an instant replay. Denton shot out of the gate into the lead, holding that position right through to the finish. Sands got his ST Racing Suzuki within spitting distance a dozen times but could not nail the high·flying Denton. Hoffman again chased those two around and again had to settle for third. One, two and three in both mot05 earned Denton, Sands and Hoff· man first, second and third for the day. Results MINI EX: 1. Shennon Shomblin IYom). MINIINT: 1. Gory Dent lVom). MINI NOV: 1.
