MInnIg marches to CMC Ascot TT win By Dan Mahony GARDENA, CA, OCT. 2!l The ocean fog rolled in early at Ascot to greet the riders for the final Continental Moto-sports Club TT of the season at Ascot. Still, a good crop of riders turned in some fine racing; fast, safe, and un· predictable. Motocrossers, flat trackers, and even a road racer or two came to ride on a night when both two·strokes and four-strokes were allowed. When the checkers fell in the big money race of the night, the 500cc Pros, National Number 6!l, Mike Minnig took home the money. Minnig had control of moto two for most of the 12 laps, but had to settle for second place behind Pete Hames in the first race. Hames' Yamaha swallowed a valve as he crossed the finish line, however, ending his night. Minning's Honda had to tussle with the borrowed TT500 of Jimmy Rosa early in the second race, but only until Rosa's seat fell off. Rosa finished up third overall after a sixth place showing in the first moto, while a consistent Joel Windham took a pair of third place finishes to nab second place money in the overall standings. Maico-mounted Dale Lewis toted the banner for the knobby tire set with a double fifth place showing to grab founh overall. Lewis was knocking on the door all night long, as he pushed his Can-Am to a second overall in the 250cc Pro class. Little Cunis Cannon took home the major share of the 250cc money, however, with a win in moto two. Cannon had to settle for third place behind NorCal's Jim Toews and unretired Jeff Springman in the first race. Curtis' big brother, Chris Cannon, took the measure of the Open Pros, Yamaha·mounted. The Open class only had one open bike, Steve Miller's 750 Yamaha, and all the rest were 500 mounted. The rough track took iu toll on Miller and his heavier 750 as he was left to ride alone in the dust of the more easily managed 500•. Pro Novice Larry Earhan, Jr. rode a good race to finish second in the final standings. Jeff Johnson took the gold in the 500cc lntennediate class over Clyde Dennen and Alva Mario Ayers while Robert Walker outdistanced the field of 16 500cc Juniors that included Honda's Mike Spencer. Road racer Spencer was on hand to see what din tracking was all about before tackling the Superbikers course at Carlsbad this week. Spencer wound up first in class (two-stroke) aboard a CR450 fitted with wide Goodyears. Curtis Cannon again was in front at the checkers of the 125/200cc class with a pair of wins to Fresno's Craig Howard's set of seconds. Howard picked up another trophy for his win in the Mini Expert class, while Brock Suter beat the Juniors. TEAMGIlEEN HEADQUARTERS ."2 aaa U N I .
