Minlmayllem
Invades tile Dunes
By Tom Griffith
VALENCIA, CA, AUG. 28
The Mini wars continued today
at Indian Dunes Cycle Park
and amazingly enough, some
of the Mini riders were producing lap times almost as fast as those of
the l25cc Pros.
The action began when the combined J uniors, Intermediates and Pros
jammed into the first turn at the Slart
of moto one. Answer/PJ-I's Mike
Kiedrowski (Kaw) stole the holeshot,
but Eddie Hicks, aborad what looked
LO be a new 1984 YZ80, quickly captured the lead while the rest of the Pro
riders batded with the Imermediates.
Keeping constant pressure, hoping
to captialize on a mislake by the
leader, was Team Green's Kyle Lewis.
But Hicks and Lewis took first and
second in both motos for the overalls.
The real surprise of the race was the
effort by Kiedrowski who took both
holeshots and lead moto two for several laps. His first overall in the
Intermediate ranks was well deserved.
The 125cc Pro race, com bined with
2505 and 500s meant only one payoff
today. Doug Gentry demonstrated
his cominued mastery of the track by
copping the holeshot in moto one.
Bob Kline, Russ Wageman and Jon
Ortner followed closely, bllt Gemry
was pulling away. Eventually Kline
managed LO hook up to Gentry's.
wake and the two began increasing
their lead each lap. Meanwhile, Brand
Johnson, on his Cagiva 250, stuffed
his front wheel into a sandy rut and
went down. Kelly Pugmire took advantage of this and mOLOred imo first in
the 2505.
During the race, Gentry's father
commented on his son's improved
slamina, but slamina didn't seem to
matter after Gentry's Yamaha came
to an untimely hall. Bob Kline assumed the lead and took the win followed closely by Jon Ormer.
In theserond go, Wageman muscled
to the holeshot and was never really
threatened for the win. A combined
4-1 score gave him second overall.
Kline captured the overall however,
with a 1-2 lally.
