.......Artzoa...outher-ft "eYad this order continued until a sudden turn of events came about. The hard landing jumps at OCIR thrashed Frank's bike, and as he landed off the double jumps his frame cracked. Billy pushed his bike back to the pits and it w,p time to go home. Clemson smoothed his way to the win from there on with Rieman running in se and over Steve Stevenson, Steve Burdette and Ken Hardy. In the final mota, it was Rieman who gassed it ahead of the pack at the start. Clemson was in second place and he knew that he had to pass Rieman to take the overall. Lap after lap, Rieman held the lead and Clemson was unable to tag him. This order went on for six laps until the last lap when Clemson slid past Rieman on a tum before the bridge. When the c'leckered flag came out, it was Clemson, Rieman, Burdette, Rob Edwards a -d Hardy. Two firsts earned Clemson the top prize. Perhaps he does better without his brother in the same race? A consistent pair of seconds won Rieman the second-place trophy. Burdette took his Sunwest Yamaha tOea third place win. Pro-Circuit rider Stevenson was fourth place. Edwards was fifth on the only Kawasaki in the line-up. The fifth race of the night was the combined Pro race. Taylor Marcell took his green machine to the lead of the 250cc Pro class. Ian Fitz-Gibbon was running in second but being closely followed by Malcolm Smith rider Vince McMahon. On a comer before a straight McMahon slid past Fill-Gibbon to claim second place. Oil the second lap, McMahon caught Taylor in the exact same place to snatch the lead away. Banging bikes in the battle for second place were Marcell and Fill-Gibbon. Through the finish it was McMahon, Marcell and Fill-Gibbon. Dnce again, in the final mOlO, Marcell took the holeshot. His lead di'dn't last as he flipped his bike while going too fast over the stutterbumps. Fill-Gibbon was handed the lead with McMahon in second place. On the hairpin tum McMahon took a fast line and worked past FitzGibbon to become the new leader. From that point on McMahon led his class with the greatest of ease. FitzGibbon placed second ahead of Keith Clark. On the official resuls it was McMahon, Fitz-Gibbon, Clark and Marcell. Results 60 BEG: 1. Derek Glrcil (Kiwi. 60 NOV: 1. Robert Naber (Klw); 2.
