Mythen mauls Santa Clara MX By Stoney Ryan SANTA CLARA, CA, AUG. 24 With a good mix of .consistent hard riding and a little daredevil agression, Suzuki pilot Rich Mythen took top honors 40 in the 250cc Pro class at Friday night motocross racing at the Police Athletic League track. Scores of spectators and more than 150 riders watched as Mythen, who had placed second in the first moto behind Honda Peninsula's Phil Douglas, rode hard in the second moLO and came from third to first in one exciting wild jump in the sixth lap, passing Johnny Dauth's Honda and Tony Richards' Kawasaki in the air. Once in the lead, My then flew on to a comfortable finish. Overall the tally was Mythen, Douglas, Dauth and Richards. In addition to his second in the 250s, Maico pilot Douglas took the Open Pro class with a I-I sweep, winning the first moto handily and earning the second. It was first-time Expert Phil Gribnau (Yam) who holeshot the second moto and led for the first three laps. On lap four Honda pilot John Wells took over the front spot while further hack in the pack Douglas began LO make his move, gaining ground lap by lap. By the seventh lap Douglas had caught up with the leader and was pushing hard. He finally got past Wells on the back straightaway but was never able to put much distance between his rear wheel and Wells. Douglas held on to take the checkered f1aR in a close finish. The overall order was Douglas, Wells and Gribna"u. . Yamaha Support/Palo Alto Yamaha/Moto-X Fox rider Tony Flores again swept the I25cc Pro class, estab· lishing himself a the man to beat in that division. Results OPEN NOli: I_Ross Powell (KTM); 2.

Cook dishes up SRACMXwln By Larry Johnson GREELEY, CO, AUG. 24 Stacey Cook was the survivor tonight in the fourth of a Sports Riders Association of Colorado five-race Supercross series here. He won both I25cc Pro motos but not before many thrills and spills. When the gate dropped for moto one, Tim Buchli and Cook drifted wide through the first turn and Matt Lindsey slid underneath for the lead. Within half a lap, Cook had dropped to fifth as Eric Sterner and Jim Mitchell snuck past. Buchli took the lead from Lindsey, but on lap four he went over the bars off the doubles-and remounted fourth. On the next goround Lindsey and Buchli both wrecked 0(( the doubles, puttinglhem out for the night. Mitchell assumed the lead for two laps until he suffered a night-ending getofr. terner then took the lead for less than a lap when he crashed in the whoops. Cook was next in line and he managed to stay uprigbt for the final two laps to win 10 econds ahead of Sterner. Sterner holeshot moto two with Cook in tow, but on the second cir· cuit Sterner jumped a berm and Cook stu((ed his way underneath. Sterner attempted desperately to reel in Cook, but his charge led to two wrecks. He still managed to take second, again 10 seconds. 0(( Cook's winning pace. Mike Krtupp powered to a perfect I-I night in the 250cc Pros. Dave ewell grabbed the holeshot in moto one but overshot the first turn, allowing Albert Firestine and Terry Kyle past. Firestine was quickly dispatched by Kyle, Randy Warren and Knupp. These three held their positions for four laps when they hit the doubles three abreast. Knupp captured second place in the daredevil move. He then hounded Kyle in every turn trying to out-motor him to the outside each time. The two banged handlebars for a whole lap before Knupp finally made the maneuver work. Once in the lead, he extended it to 12 seconds at the checkers. Warren, in his effort to stay in the chase, crashed twice but finished third behind Kyle. Knupp grabbed the lead early in moLO two and cruised to an easy win over Warren and Kyle. Results BO NOV: 1.
