Two for £IIis at Argyll White KnuckleMX By Nuclear Neukam DIXON, CA, SEPT. 2-3 Traditionally, Labor Day is supposed to be a celebration honoring our hard work in which we are treated to a day of rest and relaxation. Not quite so, in the two-day White Knuckle Labor Day MX at Argyll Cycle Park. This year's event, the 10th Annual, proved to be one arduous affair capable of making a longshoreman whimper in pain. The Sportsmen ran two 15-minute motos on Sunday and a third on Monday morning. The Pros went for a $1500 purse on Monday afternoon in a pair of body-zapping, 30-minute motos. Both days the temperature was well over 100 degrees as the record setting summer heat wave continued. The 250 c and Open Pro clas e were dominated by Sierra!Answer/ Marushin/Yamaha Support rider Jim Ellis as he won three out of four motos. Ellis won the first Open moLO by a wide margin as attrition took its toll with rider dropping out of contention like bugs in a Roach Motel. First Hi-Point/Honda of SacramenLO's Dave Coupe lost an ignition on the far side of the track (far meaning the farthest spot on the track in relation to his van's location). Then Jo Jo Wright squashed a rear wheel as he leaped over the plateau and landed hard on the flatarea following. Honda riders Joey Schlag, Kevin Green and Kirk Carter, and Yamaha-mounted Tom Sweeney also fell LO the wayside. Hi-PointiHonda-mounted Larry "Dashin'" Dashiel was a survivor as he chased Ellis LO a second-place fi nish. Bill Jamerson and Tim Phillis brought their big-bore Suzukis in for third and fourth, respectively. Wright had a new wheel hung on the swingarm for moto two and he was out for bu iness when the gate dropped. Ellis and Wright went for the big-bore big-bucks boogie for the first half of the moLO until Wright took control and motored LO the second moLO win. Ellis used his head and finished second for the overall win ince Wright was a DNF the first moLO. Finishing with another third was Jamerson whose consistency earned second overall. Da hiel encountered ome problems in the second go-'round and finished fourth for third overall. It was "Dicin' Tyson" Vohland pulling both 250cc Pro holeshots aboard his Hi-PointiYamaha-Support YZ250L and setting some superquick lap times while leading Ellis. Then, as the halfway sign was displayed, Ellis methodically closed the gap on Ty on and passed in the later laps. The lines, moves and stamina Ellis has developed during this year's Nationals was apparent. After Ellis and Vohland came the "Kamakazi," Jimmy Robertson, as a 4-3 score secured third overall for the R.C. Suzuki-mounted rider. Robertson did, however, have LO take a pit sLOp during the fir t moLO to "toss his sushi" due LO the heat. Tyson Vohland was shining bright in both 125cc Pro motos as he tayed in the hunt right off the start, moved into the lead early and pulled away LO a pair of wins. econd place in the first moLO was secured by Honda-mounted Gary Smith. Brad Burns, on a Suzuki, held on for third place ahead of Danny Turner, who hadn't been on a motorcycle in over six months until he rode practice Monday morning! Turner is returning LO motocross competition and, thanks LO Dave Coupe for loaning him hi Hi-PointIFMF Honda and Sierra's Uncle Bob for the Metzler, he showed everyone the W.F.OI' Boy still had it in him. Vohland's win in the second moto, of course, earned him the overall money. Yamaha-mounted Jon Ne1son took second place this time while Turner, clicking off lap times half-asecond quicker than Vohland's best, moved from the back of the pack up LO third, which was good for second overall. Bruns' second-moLO fourth gave him third overall. • ~ ~ leea..
