Holt, Huffman hot at Clarks Branch Winter MX By Clay and Suanne Light ROSEBURG, OR, OCT. 30 Yamaha-supported Ted Holt wtally dominaied both motos of the 12Scc Pro class at the Clarks Branch Wimer AMA motocross series opener in Roseburg. Holt made the 200-mile trek pay oH by using the National experience which he gained this past season in making the top 20 at the l25cc season opener. Ashland's Randy Toreson put his Honda into the Open Pro winner's circle by burning both Open motos, while young Ryan HuHman continued to dominate the smallwheel racing by taking rour motos in the Mini Junior and Pee Wee Intermediate classes on a showery day or racing in southern Oregon. In the rirst 125cc Pro moto, Holt hooked up into the soup on his YZI25 through the water-lined whoop-de-doos to head up some rierce action that was rorming rrom behind in the rorm of some class southern Oregon riders. JeH Martin and local Steve Nelson put their mounts in second and third until Toreson put a pass on both. Toreson couldn't catch Holl, who has won every moLO each time he has made an appearance down this way in the regular season. Holt took a convincingly wire-towire over Toreson, Nelson and Marlin at the nag. Moto two had Holt hammer his way into the lead coming through the sparsely wooded uphill and then down the long, long Washougalstyle downhill. Holt held on for a double-moto blitz while Martin copped a second, which was good ror second loot over Nelson, who carded a 2-3 third. The Pee-Wees provided some dirIerent-dispfays or maneuvering' to keep themselves upright in the soup. Local rider Huffman put his HuHman/Wright Logging Yamaha into the lead while Craig Reynard, Shawn Highland and Jason Mathews rollowed in the first moto. HuHman has been dominating the area in the Pee Wee classes ror the past two years and has finally moved up to the Mini rank as well. The second moto Joie DePew stay upright long enough to take second place at the rinish behind Huffman, who collected a double demolition award ror winning both outings. DePew DNF the rirst moLO but still ended up second overall because or Reynard's second-moLO DNF. Keith Nicholson grand-slammed both 250cc Junior/Intermediate motos, which were combined. Nicholson's Suzuki sailed out rront in a lead that would never be touched by his Junior comrades. The Junior portion or the race was controlled by Klamath Falls riders Dennis Rotherham and Donald Milligan. Rotherham rollowed Nicholson all the way to the nag in the rirst moto but ended up getting the short end or the stick with a second in moLO two, being snuUed by Milligan. Rotherham's I2 was good enough to take the Junior laurels behind Nicholson' perrect I-I. Results 125 PRO: 1. Ted Holt; 2. Jeff Mertin; 3. Steve Nelson. OPEN PRO: 1. Randy TorlSOn. 250 INT: 1.

Erin Cio had the distinction of placing second Husband/Wife team with husband Peter, and third Husband/Wife team honors went to Linda and Bill Dan.
