fornia Racing Club's (CRC) motocross at LA County Racewa y today.
Wageman a lso won th e overall in th e
co m bin ed 125/500cc Pro race with a
1-2 ta lly over Eddie H icks' 1-2.
In moto o ne of th e I 25/500cc combined Pro race, Wag eman put h is
AXO Yamaha in th e lead a s th e gate
fel l. As th e pack so rted o u t a fter turn
on e, 125-mounted Hi ck s (Sco tti
IOO%/ jT/ Yam ) wa s in a very tigh t
seco nd. By lap two, Wa geman had a
su bsta nt ia l lead a nd looked lik e a
su re wi n ne r if he d idn 't slip. But in
lap four, Wagem a n went down long
enoug h to let Hick s zip pas t. H icks
h eld th e lead to th e checkers, with
Wa geman seco nd a nd a no ther 125
rider, Pa t H axton, th ird .
Wagem a n agai n took th e lea d a t
th e start of rnoto two and agai n Hicks
was righ t o n hi s back . T he battle
raged for 15 minu tes without p ause.
H icks was n ever more th an three
seco nds beh ind Wagem an . At the
beg inni ng o f lap 10, Wa geman oversho t a turn a nd went very wide. Hicks
tr ied to cu t inside bu t Wagcman reco vered , an d th ey sta r ted th e last lap
o nly th ree bikelen gths a pa rt. Wageman managed 10 hold o n for th e
m ot o win a nd th e overa ll , with H ick s
ge tti ng seco nd a nd H axton a no the r
th ird fo r third o verall .
Wageman a nd Hi ck s were back for
the 250cc P ro ra ce 10 m eet Ken Zah rt
a nd steady j oe H opkins. In rnoto
o ne , Zahrt got th e d rop o n H icks a nd
led o ff th e line. Hick s was right on
Zah rt, a nd it wa s a spe ctac u la r co n tra st in styles. Zahrt liked th e tight
inside line a nd H ick s th e high and
o u tside. The co ntest went on for four
laps , until H ick s pull ed off wi th a
seizu re.
Zah rt was co nvi nced he had it ea sy
with n o o ne close. Wageman was 10
seco nds back in th e number-tw o spot.
Zahrt took it a little too ea sv a n d
waited behind so me lapped riders for
a better p assing spot, a nd sudden ly
Wageman was o n him a nd took the
lea d a t th e sta rt o f th e la st lap with a
hi gh j um p a nd banzai pa ss in some
reall y deep whoops. Zahrt could not
retake the lead and Wagem an got th e
moto one win , with Hopkins following Zahrt for third.
Hicks didn 't show for moto two,
and when Zahrtgotthe ho leshot again,
it was Wageman in his back pocket.
Wageman had read Zahrr 's styl e whi le
he a nd Hicks wer e battling in rnoto
o ne , and pushed Zahrt so tight in a
turn he had no room to go. Wageman
took the lead in lap three and motored
o n for the win a nd th e overall. In the
lat e part of th e race Zahrt stumbled a
bit going over a tabletop jump and
Hopkins was right there to pick up
seco nd . That fini sh gave Hopkins a
second overall a nd Zahrt third.
