Honda rider Robert Fortier showed steady DADE CITY, FL, OCT. 25 John Reinholt cap lured the overall win in Dade City Raceway's $500 guaranteed Pro class purse with a 3-2 moto score, beating out molO winners Kraig Constantinoand Vince DeVane. The event was run during Dade City Raceway's normal aturday night program on the eve of the Dade City round of the Florida Gold Cup Series and featured some of the fastest local talent in Florida, including national pro DeVane and Jeff Frisz. The racing was hot and heavy all night long, as the riders ripped around the recently redesigned Dade City circuit. As the pack shot 0[£ the line and roared into the first turn it was 16year-old Kraig Constantino who boILed into the lead oh his YZ490. Yamaha rider Keith Olerich slipped to the inside to grab second, with Suzuki mounted Jeff Frisz taking third. Frisz immediately began to pressure Olerich for second and soon squirted by with a banzai charge over the doubles. Now it was a race to see if Frisz could catch Constantino before the checkers. With each lap Constantino would use his 490's horsepower lO strengthen his lead on the long back straight, only lO have Frisz, on his more nimble250, close in on him as they entered the doubles and the tighter sections of the race track. On the last lap Frisz moved alongside Constantino. Constantino pulled away in the back section, but Frisz We c.n't fotget, In f8ct. we'w JuA ~ a Imfted qUilmity of ,.mind... namely the Cvo" Newil Po.t.rbooIl whch com~ u.t wonderful.,.., in bMuttfuI color. lIIdland """"-. -.n.
