Honda pilot Ted Harry's wide open style of riding led to back-LO-back wins for a sweep in the 250cc Pro class. Fantastic dicing for the lead between Harry and RSD Racing/ Sierra/Simons/Turner Trainingsponsored Donny Anderson marked the first moLO. With the lead changing back and forth, the baule was settled when Harry drove past Anderon on the out ide of a corner on the la t lap and held on to the fini h. Fini hing behind Harry and Anderon were Rich My then ( uz) and Peninsula Honda's Phil Douglas. Harry was really fired up the second moLO, leading the pack off the line and out of the fir t corner. Although Harry had establi hed a comfortable led by the fourth lap, he continued to ride wide open to the end. Behind Harry, a tight battle for the follow-up po it ions was waged between Tony Ri hards, Douglas, My then and Anderson. Ander on pulled hi way up from a fifth-place start to second by the checkered flag, followed by Ri hardsand Douglas. Overall it was Harry, Ander on, Douglas, My then and Richards. Douglas proved you don't have LO have the latest trick equipment to win the Pro class. Mounted on a 1981 Maico 490 twin shocker that Douglas resurrected in his garage, Douglas swept the Open Pro class. The Maico works well on tight motocross tracks like P.A.L. because of its mellow powerband. • .. Results OPEN PRO; 1. Phil Douglas (Mai); 2. Greg Raub (yam); 3. Todd Ternan (Hon); 4.
