~ ~ G A ., AGA r:- OO 0') ........4 "' c-r c-r >-...... :s A D ·AGAI ~ Steve Eklund Kevin Schwantz Mark Hyde Experts Kenny Parry and Brett Howell f inished second Saturday. •l a half of racing drew 10 a close, the 250cc Morris/Knapp team started 10 make their move. ..Ashcraft got th e lead off th e bomb and put them out in front, but we were chasing all the way ," said a member of th e Suzuki/Husky of Van . Nuys-sponsored team , who also thanked Procircuit, Downhill Alexander and Answer. " We stayed right up th ere all th e way and Charlie finally got past Ashcraft on a set of roll ers." "After two days of racing, the course was a real beater, " Morris said. ..It was really silty and there were a lot of rocks lying around waiting for you to hit them. But we had a good race and we won it , even ' if we were only a couple of h undred yards ahead at the end. Even a co uple of inches is enough." Sunday's Women's division provided more excitement as Brownell / Scott set out to top Conway/ Holeman. The race was neck-in-neck all the way and saw the tenacious Scott keep the pace goi ng despi te a rear flat for her last two laps. H er door-die style paid off and th e ailing Kawasaki crossed the finis h line in front, making the weekend 's score one-all for the top two women's teams. Whi le the Women Experts tu rned in impressive high-speed performances, there were battles going on down in the ranks, and a special award for spirit has to go to Kristin Hall and "Shawna" Burch. In their first-ever desert race , the two young So. Cal. members put their 80cc machines together and rode in a race all their own. With no mini class to compete in, the team ent ered as pi e-platers in the Novice Women 's divi sion, That involved an unusual amo unt of dedication 10 th e sport on the part of "Shawna," who is usuall y known as Shawn. Man y riders claim to be dedicat ed to desert raci ng, but how many are willing to cha nge th eir sex for a day just to race a motorcycle? • Results SATURDAY OPEN1250 EX 0 / A : 1.
