Smith doubles at
Baylands
By Mike Vancil
FREMONT, CA, AUG. 7
Gary Smith hauled hi s KXI25
Kawasaki and 500cc GP Honda
to Baylands from Yuba City and
walked off with four perfect
42
rid es for to p money in both divisi ons.
His first o u ting a t Baylands in many
weeks saw h im 'easily cap ture th e
I 25cc class agains t two o the r KX rid er s: Dann y Paladino a nd Zach ary
Fust. Smith was a ble to ca tap u lt into
th e lead in eac h mot a and never had
10 look back. His rides were fla wless
a nd very qu ick ci rcui ts of th e new
Ba ylands trac k were achieved even
th ough he was un d er no p ressu re.
Th e en d result in th e 500cc class was
th e same, but Smi th go t consi dera ble
pressu re from Craig Chris tia n (Yam )
a nd Devon J oo s (Han) in th e.process. .
In moto o ne Christ ian p ushed h is YZ
into the first corn er abreast o f Smith
an d only surrendered a little g ro u nd
to h im for th e rest o f the mot a. J oos ,
sponsored by O ' Neal USA a nd Team
US, was a ble to hol d o ff repea ted
pa ssing attempts from G reg Raub
(Yam) . In th eir seco nd mota a brief
lead was enjoyed by j oos, but before
lap one was over Sm ith ha d th e lead
aga in . Raub came home third.
An excelle nt turnou t o f racers and
a fine set of mo tos were th e resu lt in
the 250cc Novi ce class. The high
in cidence of cras hi ng has disap peared
a nd is but a n early seaso n memory. In
th e first moto Steve Pr idd y (Ha n) and
Rick Alves (Yam) blasted into the
first corner. Th ey di ced for a lap prior
to Alves having a slig h t p roblem
which ca used him 10 lose a few positions. Movin g in to tak e over and try
to ca tch Priddy was Don Tofft (Kaw)
and Paul Funaro (KT M). On th e last
lap Funaro made a pass to tak e o ver
third from Paul . Bal cita (Han), and
th en finished nearl y in a nose-to-tail
fash ion . In mota two Priddy asserted
himself early and got far enough
a way 10 not be bothered by th e turmoil over seco nd a nd thi rd pl aces.
Alves got a bett er cha nce a t a bett er
finis hing position; he wasn 't as locked
in traffi c as in moto one. In fact, there
didn 't seem to be the passi ng attempted nor acco m p lished as th ere was in
th e first rnot o. T he fini shing order
was Priddv, Funa ro on hi s KTM a nd
Alves.
.
In 250cc P ro class action , J ohn
Dauth (Han) was able to power in for
a double mo to win a nd firs t overa ll.
H e had 10 foll ow ho lesho t a rtis t Gary
Fargo (Suz) for a la p befor e gett ing by
on th e diffi cult new j u mp in stall ed at
Ba ylands. In the seco nd mota J erry
Cabra l (Suz), sponsored by Cycle West
a nd H i-P o int USA, got into th e first
corner behind Fargo, but Dauth was
