qualified, GSXR Series organizer J im
Moore and U.S. Suzuki's Hank Ota
decided that Polen would be allowed
to keep the $1000 winner's purse.
That put Toland up to first place
iil points, with Richard Moore second.
Don Canet claimed third on his SLOCity Cycles/RV Adventures Suzuki.
The Open Production race, with
more Suzuki money on the line, was
another Polen-versus-Toland affair
with the same fini hing order but
without any disqualifications.
Once a!¥lin Polen went for his pass
on the thud lap, but this time entering turn one, and once again Toland
did his best to find a way back around
his rival. But Polen seemed to be able
find a 20-yard gap and hold it, while
both of them lapped consistently close
to I :31 nat.
The order held until the finish
with Chris Steward taking a strong
third on his Freeway/Dunlop/APA
Trucking/Kal-Gardl Bell Helmets/
Cycle Racer-sponsored Suzuki.
Toland was calm but frustrated
a-£terwards. "He's a very good r·ider
but his bikes are real fast. His bikes
were very well prepared for Box Stock
motorcycles.
"Icould reel him in through a few
corners but he would get away from
me in a straight line," said Toland."
Polen denied that his Jon Minonnotuned machines were any faster in a
straight line than Toland's: "Basically I think my advantage was in
braking into corners and cornering
speed, while exit speeds were the
same because of tire limitations."
While Polen could defeat Toland
he couldn't do the same to Honda
Interceptor Series King Billy DeBere,
who took his Redline VideolTemple
City Honda-sponsored entry to a narrow victory over Tu Lin Honda's
Richard Moore. Polen finished fourth
behind Joe olis in the eight lap race
after starting from the back row. He
was not put on the front row because
of an oversight.
In other Stock Production action
Long Beach Yamaha/Spectro/Dunlop·sponsored teve Cardillo led a
Yamaha FZ600 weep of the top three
600 c places ahead of Chuck Wayco£[
and An Kawaguchi
Dean Mizdal won 450cc Stock Production on his RZ350 Yamaha ahead
of similarly mounted David Roberts
and Daren Fields. Later in the day
Mizdal won Modified Production as
well, this time leading Fields and
Brad Fairbanks (Yamaha RZ350)
home.
