Baylands CMC MX
opener to Flores
By W.H. Spencer
FREMONT, CA, MAY 2
Baylands Raceway Park opened
its regular weekly Continental
Motosports Club motocross
scene a week and a number of
40
hours late, now on Wednesday nights.
Tony Flores returned lO the racing
scene and his Palo Alto Yamaha
swept of the l25cc Pro class. Jerry
Brandt extended his hold on the
overall CMC Open class poim .lead
while John Gardner topped the 250cc
Pros.
A near record number of emries
.and a late start kept the action going
until way past midnight but showed
well in form. ·Flored held the gas on
just a little longer in both l25cc Pro
starts and rode off with the win on his
Yamaha Support ride with Manny
Ornellas and Kimo Casey doing the
chasing.
Rich Mythen sported an RM Suzuki
for the 250cc Pro event and led all
laps of the first round with Gardner
holding off Bob Day for second and
Donny Anderson having his hands
full of Tim Tremaine's Yamaha. In
the second round it was Gardner. Day
and Anderson all over each other
with Gardner leading the all impor.tam one and My then mired in nimh
after a crash.
Mike Lane lived up LO his nickname, "Holeshot," when he exited
the Old Timer/Vet Masters second
moLO and then tried LO give the lead
back for the rest of the race. Unsuccessful at that, he won both Vet
molOS while Gary Estes traded the
OT molOS with Ned Marandino, who
double points IRC Tire Day at Saddleback Park, until Lady Luck
spurned him on his final race.
SCOll Manning's YZ holeshot the
first500cc Pro molO, but Larson and
Husky-mounted Micky Dymond soon
got past. The from pair diced all the
way home, but at the checkers Larson
had a slim lead.
.
The second molO saw Larson pass
Rick Maki's YZ for the lead on the
first lap. Dymond, who started in
fifth, spent half the race moving up
to second, then set his sights on
Larson.
"What I needed was a couple more
laps," commented Dymond after the
race, having cut Larson's lead down
to a second and a half at the £lag.
In the first 250cc Pro moLO, Larson's early lead was erased by "Radical" Ron Turner's hOl Cagiva on the
first lap. By the middle of the race
Larson regained control of the race as
a fierce tHree-way hallie for third
ensued behind the leaders. Manning
emerged from the fracas first, followed by the Hondas of Richard
Sands and Ed Arnet.
Before the second 250cc Pro that
Turner joked LO Larson about the
chunk of the $3000 purse he would
earn if he won his last race. "Maybe'I
shouldn't have told him." he said
afterwards. "He'll probably crash
now."
Ten minutes later, Larson obeyed.
In the second turn on lhe firsl lap, a
rider cut him off and he wem down,
ending his seige on the others for the
day.
Manning led the pack from the
stan, and never relinquished the lead,
although Kawasaki rider Greg Zit-
terkopf kept a close second throughout the race. Turner moved up from
fifth to finish third, for a second
overall behind Manning.
Yamaha rider Bryon Amonacci
continued to dominate the l25cc Intermediates, moving permanently to
the lead by the end of the first lap in
both molOS. Steve Ski bel's RM carried him to 3-2 finishes for second
overall, while Cagiva rider Brandon
Schneider's second place in motoone
boosted him LO third overall, just
ahead of Mercedez Gonzalez, whose
YZ carried her to third in the second
molO.

Klein, Coupe top
Sacto night MX
By "Nuclear" Neukam
SACRAME TO, CA, MA Y 4
RC Suzuki-sponsored Kenny
Klein put together two consistent motos for the overall in the
125cc Pro class at the Friday
night stadium motocross, while HiPoint/Honda of Sacramento's Dave
Coupe ran away in the 250cc Pro class.
Hi-Point/Yamaha-mounted Cory
"What's The SLOry" Cantaloupi flew
into the lead of the first l25cc Pro
moLO and survived heavy pressure
from Klein for the win, while Coupe
finished third.
Moto two was a whole different
sLOry, however, as Tim ASLon and
Rodney Harriger ballII'd it out aboard
their Hi-Point/Kawasakis for the
entire moLO. It looked like Harriger
had the win sewed up umil he fell
before the doubles, and team male
Aston roosted over Harriger for lhe
win. Ironically, Harriger fell in the
same spot Aston did in round one
when Harriger rolled over Aston's
scooter. Cantaloupi finished fourth.
Coupe won the first 250cc Pro
moLO by holding off hard-charging
Klein and Suzuki-mounted Jimmy
Robertson. Coupe won the second
motoaswell, this umewith Robertson
pushing him the entire moto. Joe
Wright piloted his Hi-Point/Honda
of Sacramento mount to third.
