Moto two was Friend's chance to show his stu£[ as he grabbed the early lead and pulled away to the checkers. Molder kept him in sight all the way to the end, but could not find a way into the lead. Second was good enough for Molder, as it gave him first overall to SLOrk's 1-3 second. Friend LOok third overall, with Hyde fourth. .

Edge ANCHORAGE, AK, MAY 20 Jeff Roskelley carried his unbeaten streak in Alaska Motorcycle Racing Association motocross to 18 motos. The day brought out a lot of racers with the lure of double points. Kevin Schaub unbeaten in the 250cc Expert points races, stretched out his lead while Kelly Butlerfinally lost a moto in the hard-fought 125cc Expert class.

Butler avoided trouble in the second moLO LO take first place. Four racers tied on overall class points but Butler had it with the beller second moLO finish. Kevin Schaub (Hon) won both motos of the 250cc Expert class for the third Sunday in a row. Schaub also raced the 125cc Expert class, but his 1-6 was only good enough for a fifth overall. The start of the first 500cc Expert moto found Roskelley in mid-pack, and while trying LO work his way to the front, he went down. After remounting, Roskelley pulled out.the SLOpS and by the end of the moLO was in his favorite place - first. MOlO two saw Roskelley keep the rubber side down and motor on to the win. It was the Roskelley show again in the Pro class, with Butler back in second with Tim Kelley (Yam), Brent Battin (Hon) and Jim Stewart (Suz). Suzuki Motorcycle and Marine-sponsored Stewart put all those years of experience to use by besting both Kelley and Bauin. ..-' After coming in second in moto one, Robb Butler, the current Mini Expert points leader, was out for the day with a bad crash and a possibly fractured arm. Kelly Styles (Kaw) and Kawasaki Komer's Jason Anderson traded moLO wins with the overall going to second moLO winner Styles.
