Results Craig Davis (83) pursues Todd Campbell in the 250cc Pro class at Perris. Both riders suffered mechanical problems and DNF. Musgrave victorious at Perris Motocross By David Procida 32 PERRIS, CA, SEPT. 6 Kawasaki-mounted Willy Musgrave earned the overall victory in the 250cc Pro class at the second round of the Western USA Championship put on by the California Racing Club at Perris. Musgrave picked his way through several riders to win the first molO, then led molO two from start to finish. In the first molO, Pro-Cycle KTMmounted Todd Campbell read the gate perfectly for the holeshot with Honda pilot Rick Gasper and Yamaha Support rider Craig Davis in close company. The top three stayed together until lap three, when Gasper dropped back into the pack with Musgrave and Kenny Zahrt closing in on the leaders. At the front, Campbell and DaVIS were engaging in a cat and mouse game where the KTM. would outpower Davis' YZ, only to have the Yamaha make up the distance in the tight sections. Musgrave was passed by Zahn but found an opening in the switch back and dove under Zahrt to regain third. Campbell was still holding off Davis, but the KTM was now misfiring in the upper RPM range. Musgrave moved up behind Davis, making it a three-way baule for first. Davis was trying to pass Campbell and contact between the two riders was witnessed. Then Davis overshot a corner, giving Campbell a liule breathing room that only lasted until the next lap when Davis outpowered the ill-sounding KTM down the main straight. Musgrave also passed Campbell as the KTM came to a stop with mechanical problems, and was now closing on Davis. Musgrave made his move and passed Davis in the esses, then Davis came to a SlOp moments later with fuel line problems, handing second place to Zahrt. Running in third was Wade Morlock. Musgrave enjoyed a big lead and styled lO the checkered. In mOlO.two Musgrave jumped in to the lead with Zahrt and Davis rounding the corner in second and third. On lap three, Morlock moved past Davis and closed in on Zahrt, while Musgrave pulled away. Halfway through the race Musgrave had oPened up a ~O-second lead, while the heat was on Zahrt, who was being chased by Morlock. The duo diced heavily for the next three lap while Davis closed to within two bike lengths' of Morlock. On lap nine, Davis made his move on Morlock and set his sights on Zahrt, but Zahrt held off the hard-charging Davis. Musgrave took the win and the overall with Zahrt taking home second place money and Morlock capturing third, via a 3-4 malO score. Results WMN tNT: 1. Dana Evenson; 2. Lo,i Hedstrom. WMN NOV: 1.
