'SUPERBIKE""RACES' ~~ PRO-AM MOlORCYCLE ROAD RACING By Marc Jenkins ROAD ATLANTA. JU~ifIe~O~uI~~~i& ~ EULESS, TX, MAY 23 Paul Yark cruised home with both Pro mows despite the presence of Trailwest Honda's Nick Cordova today at the Mos-' ier Valley Friday Night Supercross. York grabbed the holeshot in the first moLO and slaTted selling a bl istering pace. Cordova, meanwhile, was in second and appeared to bejustlaying back and checking out York's lines - waiting for a mistake: HaHway through the moLO York had established an eight-second lead. Cordova couldn't wait any longer and turned up the wick LO gain a few seconds. Cordova had problems of his own, however, as Tim Silence' was running third and had his sights set on Cordova. The order held to the finish with York, Cordova and Silence laking the first three spots. York again blasted out of the Slart with the lead as Cordova almost went down on his wide line. Cordova managed LO Slay closer this time as York set the pace. With two laps LO go, Cordova was looking LO make a move, but York countered with some extra speed of his own. Cordova bobbled slightly and suddenly Silence went past and held second LO the checkers. Rick Myers won the opening moLO of the 250cc Novice class, but the overall win went LO K.C. Sears, who finished second in the first moLO and won the second. Ron Whitley finished second overall with his consistent 2-2 placings. Results MICRO: 1. Brian Hamm (Kaw); 2. Nick Luburich (Kaw).

Fox fast at Gainesville MX By Athie Sanders GAINESVILLE, FL, MAY 18 Keith Fox dominated both the 125cc A and 250cc A classes as he netted double moLO wins in each at the May GaLOrback Silver Cup Classic held at Gatorback Cycle Park in Gainesville. John Reinholt, who just recently pulled his Honda out of mothballs, made a respectable showing as he holes hot both 250cc A moLOS and led in each, until Team Green/Hi-Point/ FM F/ Arai Hel met/Barr Com petitionsponsored Fox capitalized on his misfortunes and took over the lead. In the beginning of both moLOS, Fox . was held at bay by second-place rider Rob Johnson. Once around Johnson in moLO OAe Fox charged off aft~r Reinholt who was establishing a respectable lead. Things looked good for the frontrunner, a rider known for his strength in the later part of a moLO. But suddenly Reinholt started to lose his drive; Fox began to reel him in, and then moved into the lead. Reinholt made little allempt LO stick LO the new leader. It was soon evident that he was having bike problems. E AMA Championship Cup Series Save Money By Purchasing Advance nckets $15.00 Weekend Paddock Pass - $10.00 Week- 'T .
