Bolte off the track, and ruining his own line. Pettiford seized the initiative and retook second place. Lee regained his concentration and pursued Pettiford, passing him on the last lap for second place. Sass took an easy win, with Lee in econdandPettiford third. In Formula I Bolte led the pack inLO turn one. Dave Old (RG500), Sass (GPz550), and Rick Orlando (VF500) chased Bolte, measuring their chances against the leader. Old's Suzuki easily had the drive onto the straightaway, as he passed Bolte and broke away from the pack on lap three. Two laps later Sass picked off Bolte, and set his sights on Old. Denver's tight 1.7 mile course, with 13 turns, gave Sass's Kawasaki equal footing in the turns, but Old's horsepower proved triumphant. Old took the win, Sass was second, and Bolte third.

Thanks for riding with C8strol- Americas #1 Motorcycle 011 Castrol 401 Hackensack Avenue, Hackensack, NJ 07601 ~ 1984 SERIES Kyle, Firestine fly at Colorado MX By Larry Johnson LAKEWOOD, CO, JUNE 3 Saturday Practice. 5a!urday Night camping and Eleven Championship Grind Prix Events on Sunday. Terry Kyle and Albert Firestine continued to dominate the Open and 250cc Pro classes, respectively, today at a race marred by numerous first tum pileups that kept the amublance crews busier than anyone else at the track. Kyle had to wait until the third lap to overtake Dave Newell in moto one, then cruised to a l5-second lead and a win. In moLO two, he went flag-LOflag for another Open Pro sweep. He had to play bridesmaid to Firestine in the 250cc Pros in both moLOS, though. Honda of Denver's Randy Warren had to borrow a Novice rider's KX250, but the results were the same as he rode steadily to a third overall. Tony Cristelli showed only his tailpipe to the rest of the 80cc Amateur class as he won both his motos with ease after grabbing the holeshot each time and leaving the pack way behind. Scott Applebaum enjoyed the same success in the 60cc Novice class, however he had to work harder for his results. In moto one, he gated second behind Brian Diehl only to crash a few turns later. Diehl held the lead for twO laps before he also wrecked. This allowed J.P. Thibodeau to take the lead which he held for nine laps on the shortened 60cc track. Applebaum, meanwhile, was working back through the field and closing Thibodeau's l3-secondlead. With only two laps remaining, he passed Thibodeau and stretched out a comfortable margin to the flag. He holeshot moto two and held off Diehl for the entire race on his way to a perfect 1-1 day. Results 60 NOV: 1. 'Scott Applebaum (Han); 2. Micah Moyes (Hanl; 3. J.P. Thi_u (Kaw). 60 AM; 1.
