Oswelltakes Indian Dunes supercross By Tom Corley VALENCIA, CA, JUNE 3 Tracy Oswell put together two consistent finishes at the California Racing Club's "Rose Bowl" event today to win the 250cc Pro division. The two moLO winners couldn't maintain the pace throughout the day, and had LO settle for lower finishes overall. The city of Pasadena didn't approve an Amateurday at the Rose Bowl but that didn't SLOp the CRC from "stealing the plans" and constructing an even more challenging supercross at Indian Dunes. Credit for this successful event goes to the CRC, the park staff and major sponsor Van Nuys Cycle. Such obstacles like the Honda Himalayas were far more radical than seen at Pasadena. The track was so challengi ng that the 250cc Pro class riders fell nearly as much as the l25cc Beginners on any given Sunday. The first moLO proved this LO be true. Kenny lahrt "KZ" and jon lahrt "jl" took the lead but their rallv , ended when the red flag came out. Ken Goldie crashed badly over the Himalaya and was transported to the hospital. Fortunately, Goldiewas not eriously inj ured, and returned to watch the final moLO. With the restart it was loIi Meszaros taking the lead over Kenny and jon lahrt. just past the finish line, Kenny actually passed Maszaros, but JUSt for a split second. Shl'HLly thereafter, Kenny and jon collided, losing their LOp positions and givi.ng Meszaros the lead over Bill Ouellette and John Hemme. Through the KMET Rockers, Meszaros took a bad line and allowed Ouellette to take over the lead. Meszaros moved back to fourth place. Ouellette was the winneroverTracyOswell, who passed Hemme to take second. Hemme was third. Meszaros was out to make up for the lead that he lost during the first round when he LOok the holeshot in the final maLO. Louie Franco took a D F in the first moLO, but this time he was i.n second place ahead of Oswell. Through the challengi ng sections, Franco swooped past Meszaros, as did Oswell. o well was the only top-placing rider who had can istent moLO scores. His 2-2 tally earned him the LOp money. The second place cash went LO Ouellette with a 1-5. Meszaros started out great in both rounds but couldn't maintain the lead and took a 4-3 for third. Hemme, in his first Pro race, had a good day as he LOok fourth with a 3-4. Results PEE WEE: ,. Jeff Willoh (Yam); 2. Robby Ham· mond (Yam); 3. Nathan Scott (Yam). 60 NOV: 1. Joey Curtis (Kaw); 2.
