YIJlIlEI --=:---=------oollMOTORCYCLE CENTERS ES:ROUND6 SPRINGS GSX·R· ATW Kevin Krugh won the Handicap main event at Costa Mesa. Costa Mesa Speedway wins to Schwartz, Krugh By Scott Daloisio COSTA MESA, CA, JULY 24 The phenomenal year of Bobby Schwartz carried on Friday evening before more than 4000 fans at the Orange County Fairgrounds. For the eighth ti.me in 1987, Schwartz reigned supreme over the competition at the beach area oval. It was the beginning.of the second haH of the year at Costa Mesa. The previous week the track was dark due to the Orange County Fair but Schwartz won the ational Championship Qualifier at Long Beach. After a second place finish to Brad Oxley in their Scratch heat, Schwartz got rolling in the semi and won oV"er Louis Kossuth, Lance King and Alan Christian. Steve Lucero started on the pole for the Scratch main, but Schwartz, off gate two, rocketed into the lead on the start. Lucero gave' Schwartz a tap in turn one but from that point on nobody could get near the Budweiser/Silkolene/C.T.I. Brace/Oakley/Justice Brothers Weslake rider. Pfetzing got as far as turn three before taking a soil sample. Kossuth gota Scratch ride due to rider injuries and he made the best of it. He went after Lucero early and put on a battle for second spot but in the end, Lucero held him off. The win went to Schwartz by about 20 feet over Lucero and Kossuth. Pfetzing had picked his bike up and finished a haH lap behind. Kevin Krugh won his first main event of the 1987 season in the Handicap portion of the program. The ]awa jockey finished second to Greg Hancock in their qualifying race but he won his heat. A third in his semi bought his ticket into the eight-lap main. Krugh, alone on the 20, had the K&L Electric/Lisa/AWE/Mom & DadiCody/Z machine in the initial lead and it was his to blow or take advantage of. He led the first three laps with no problem but a red flag came out when Pfetzing, again, went down in turn three and Phil Collins had to lay it down. During the red flag period, Scotty Brown's ]awa caught fire. Brown shut off the motor and then blew the fire out. Officials were ready to restart the event wi thout Pfetzing and Collins but they both burst through the pit gate, much to the deligh t of the fans, before their two minutes were up. Krugh and Tuff McBride were off the 10 for the restart and Krugh again seized the lead over McBride. Brown .
