On the restart, Schuff took the lead ahead of John Haskin, Haskin went on to win the heat and finish second overall. Mike Sullivan ended the OMRRA season on a perfect note, winning all six Formula Two races on his RS25:J Honda. "I had to submit a resume at the first of the year to buy one of these bikes," said Sullivan, "but it was worth it. It has a real broad powerband for a GP bike, so it's easier to ride fast than a TZ." OPEN PROD: 1. Tom Walther (SUl); 2. Keith Pink..off (SUl); 3. Jeff Morrow (SUl). 750 PROD: 1.

James cleans up at Nelson RR By larry Bell WARREN, OH, ocr. 5 Jeff James closed out the 1986 WERA Regional Road Racing season at elson Ledges Road Course by notching wins in B Production Expert and B Superbike Expert, taking second in C Production Expert and third inA Production. Also posting a strong weekend showing was veteran Canadian road racer and ex-factory J awa rider Frank Mrazek. Mrazek, coming out of the Vintage ranks, took the overall win in the combined classes of D Production/Formula. Three/Vintage Two and the combined classes of D Superbike/Vintage Three on a Honda 450 vintage 1965. He also won the Vintage Four class on an ex-factory Triumph 750 triple. That race was combined with the C Superbike race and he finished fourth overall. Oldrich Schmuttermeier won the C Superbike class and also landed in the winner's circle of Formula One with his GSXR Suzuki. Dan ChivingLOn (ChivingLOn Honda-Suzuki/Michelin/ShoeilTsubakiiTunstall) coHeeled Suzuki money by winning A Production (after a bump with James) on his GSXRIIOO. Chivington finished second behind James in B Production. James had lit.tle trouble in B Superbike and easily outdistanced the pack on his Spectro/Cycle Shop/AG V Helmets-supported FZ750. Action in B Production was a threeway dice among Ralph Johnston, Chivington and James. Johnston pulled the early lead only LO lose it at the halfway point LO ChivingLOn. Then Chivington and James played cat and mouse for several laps until the white flag lap when they bumped exiting turn 13, the last corner before the straight and checker, and James slipped past for the drag race LO the flag and the win. "I got a little LOO hot going in and braked too late. Chivington showed how good a rider he is by not ~oin~ Dan Chivington in action at Nelson Ledges in Ohio. down and maintaining control," James said. Mrazek gave Rick Graver a lesson in road racing history by coming from the last row of D Superbike/ Vintage Three and picking off the entire field LO zero in on Graver, who had sat on the pole. Mrazek, who's been racing since 1950, believed Graver would eventually miscue when he started to hear the sound of Mrazek's 21-year-old Honda 450 and look back. "When he started to look back 1 knew he would make a mistake. I got by him coming out of 13. I played on his nerves," Mrazek said. "I was trying LO beat him. I had LO slide through 13 on my Suzuki 450. 1 chattered about 10 feet. 1 had to override, he was always there," said the Mid-Way Yamaha sponsored Rich Graver. Results B PROD EX: 1.

Roy Collings fulfilled a long sought after goal of winning two features in one night of racing at the Middleford Short Track as he took the 250cc final and the 500cc final. In the 250cc final, Collings waged war with Rob Smith while Harold Dorsey contended with Mark Miller's advances; Jeff Solevan and Howard Irvine argued ove~ fourth. As the race came to an end, Collings and Smith opened up some breathing room over Dorsey while Miller dropped off the pace with what seemed to be handling problems. Irvine and Solevan closed in on Miller with two laps remaining. When the checkers fell, it was Collings taking the win over Smith with Motorcycles & Parts ITON W MOTORCYCLE SAFETY FOUNDATION mKEBARX MORRISON, Il 61270 In III Call 815/778-3641 Owner Bill Gusse 45
