Jeff Conlin spent his birthday in the Ascot winner's circle.
fraction of a second longer to capture
the holeshot narrowly ahead of Brand.
Griewe did all he could to shake
Brand, but he was glued to Griewe's
rear fender. At times the two were side
by side, but Griewe kept control of
his narrow lead.
Lurking closely behind in third
was John Greenway (Kaw); he was
waiting for any slight mistake by the
leaders, but unfortunately for Greenway there were none.
When the white flag appeared, the
two leaders were within whispering
distance of each other. Brand did all
he could to get by, but Griewe held
on for a narrow victory. Greenway
settled for third while Pomona Valley Yamaha's Jack Scott took fourth.
Brand knew he had to win the
second moto if he wanted to take the
overall, but Griewe knew that too. At
the start of the second rnoto, it was
Griewe who jammed into the early
lead followed by Brand and Greenway. The three leaders began a fight
for the led, but Greenway got a bit
over-rambunctious in the supercross
whoops and went down, dropping
back to last. All eyes were on Griewe
and Brand. The race was a photocopy
of the first, but with only a few turns
remaining in the race, Brand had
stuffed his Suzuki underneath Griewe
taking a half-bikelength lead. Griewe
then shut the door on Brand, keeping
his lead intact. The win went to
Griewe only inches ahead of Brand.
Third went to SCOtt while Greenway
labored his way into fourth.
Alan McCown took his C&:H Kawasaki into the winner circle in the
250cc Intermediate class after he
posted a 3-1 combination for the win.
Dennis Wooldridge, riding for Skip
Fordyce Honda, traded 1-3 scores
with McCown, but unfortunately for
Wooldridge, it was in the wrong
combination. Wooldridge took second
overall while Rick Beingesser (Kaw)
settled for third.
In the high school competition, it
was another match-up between
Upland's Pat Weber (Suz), Moreno
Valley's Brian Griewe (Yam) and
Ken Campbell (Suz), It was Weber
who took command. He took wins in
both the 250 and 500cc Senior classes.
Griewe took second overall in the
500cc Seniors, just ahead of teammate Campbell. But, in the 250s,
Campbell took revenge by taking

second ahead of Griewe.
A perfect I-I combination in the
125cc Novice class gave Upland's
