hillclimb
By Darrell Devitt and
Sandee Peterson
BILLINGS, MT, AUG. 5
Team
added
climb
list of
Honda's Kerry Peterson
the Montana State HillChampionship to his
1984 victories.
America's oldest established hillc1jmb drew upwards of SOOO spectators and 150 entries despite rainy
weather throughout the day. World
class riders from six states and Canada were competing for a $6000 purse.
The500cccla s got underway fir t.
with Peterson setting the time 10 beat
on his American HondalNippondenso/TsubakilHi-Point/Too-Tech/
Uni-Filter/Richter/KR W-backed
CRSOO. The difficulty of this year's
hill was quiteevident as Peterson and
Doug Beer, Canada's lOp-ranked entTy, were the only two 500 riders to
clear the top.
Peterson's 11.983 was good for the
win and Beer's Lethbridge Kawasaki
filled the second-place slot with a
13.09 roost over the top.
Open class machinery took to the
hill next with less success; only Canada's Ken Long managed a successful
climb LO the LOp in 17.60 seconds.
Jerry Richter's 170-foot ride gave him
second-place money.
Midday entertainment was provided
in full force with 33 Unlimited bikes
being run two rounds back LO back
before the State Championship.
Peterson provided the crowd with
the most dramatic ride of the day in
this class, a the throttle stuck on his
nitro-burning 200-bhp Harley during the first run. After a bullet-quick
ride through the bottom and middle
section of the hill he finally brought
the bike out of its wide-open mode
and stopped it just short of the crest.
A quick repair of the throttle linkage brought him back for his second
attempt, in which he blasted the hill
in 10.SO seconds to claim top honors.
Steve Stith came through with a 12.85
hill-topping ride for second and Montana's Dave Svenvold took third.
Advanced class competition for the
State Title had the twelve top riders
of the event that transfered out of
their respective classes go back for
two rounds of additional climbing 10
determine the 1984 champion.
Peterson, as in the other classes, set
the pace LO beat, with a clean 14.17 jet
over the top on his Honda. When the
two rounds were complete it was still
Peterson holding fast time, and claiming his third state title, with Doug
Beer, Doug Sherburn and Steve Stith
turning in great rides to fill out the
top four.
Answer Products Honda rider
Mike Watson topped tl!e 250cc
Pro class as the California Racing Club hosted motocross
under the lights at Indian Dunes.
Watson was challenged from one end
of the track to the other by Suzuki
pilot Dave Welty, but emerged victorious_ In other Pro action, Yamahamounted Jack Greenberg took backLO-back wins in the 125cc ranks for
sponsors Kal-Gard and Van Nuys
Cycle.
The80cc Stock Be~inners provided
quite a bit of excitement. Will Donald
took the early le'1d in the first
moto, followed by Kim Hoagland,
Derek Meyer and Curt Crosby. In the
ensuing laps Crosby advanced to take
the lead and went on to take the moLO
over Hoagland. Donald and Meyer
dropped back, and Matt Alexander
recorded the third-place finish.
In the second moLO Hoagland
turned in the best gate, and then led
to the flag in spite of Donald's best
ef(orts. Andy Payne advanced from
seventh in moLO one'in third in the
second round. Donald was off the
leaderboard in moLO two, but still
finished third overall behind Hoagland and Donald.
