In moto one Carlson holeshot and left, stretching his lead to 11 seconds at the end of the eight-lap moto, Hilgendorf pulled ahead of Wineland in the race 10 th e first tu m as Wineland fought to control a wheelstand.

Moto two went to Demastry. The PJ-l-sponsored Honda rider holeshot the start ahead of Pingree and McMullen and opened up a slight lead as Andrich put on a charge that carried him from fourth past McMullen on lap three.

Dugan claims Glen Helen GPwin By Sue Senn SAN BERNARDINO, CA, JAN. 31 Ron Dugan battled 10 the win in the Senior class at the SRA New Year 's Grand Prix at Glen Helen Raceway. On the first lap Jim Berry led Dugan, Russ Robertson and Dave Jacobus in a tight little pack. Each looked for an edge to get out front and Dugan found that edge on the third lap. He shot forward with Robertson attaching like a magnet. For the remainder of the eight-lap race the top four diced 10 the finish where it was Dugan over Robertson, Berry , Jacobus, Steve Bussell and Vern Heth. In the 81 10 200cc race the first four laps found Brett Duncan and Greg Fountain contin ually exchanging the lead. O n the fifth lap Fountain developed a flat and Du ncan moved out to a big lead over J oh n Rudder. Third p lace was held by Rya n Lamb. Craig Adams claimed a well earned win in the Vet class when Barry Porter stayed close throughout the race. Results 0-80: 1. Rodnay Johnson (Kaw); 2. Josa ph Havi". (Kaw); 3. Br.cl Chuck (Suz). LANCASTER, CA, JAN. 31 Dean Jennings rod e to victory in the 250cc Beginner class a t the California Racing Club's first Grand Prix of the season at Los Angeles . County Raceway. At the start o f the 45-minute race Scott Adams headed the 250s off the line and Jennings was second coming out of tum one. By lap three Jennings had taken the lead and fought off attempts by Adams to regain the lead for the next two laps. Jennings seemed 10 get stronger as the other riders faded and by the second half of the race held a comfortable lead which he rode in to the win. Charlie von Frankenberg was first at the drop of the flag for the 125cc Beginners, followed by R ich Thomas and Bernie Michael. It took Michael one lap to figure out the lines, then he passed both von Frankenberg and Thomas to lead from the end of lap two to the checkered flag . Karl Allen read the starter well, had started his bike and was moving before the green flag made three waves at the Novices. He rapidly pulled away to such a commanding lead that a little tumble late in the race didn't eve n come close to jeopardizing his lead and easy win for first 500cc Novi ce. Mik e McCarley also led from flag to flag in the 250cc Novice class . McCarley's best racing came as he caught up with two open class bikes which had started 20 seconds ahead of him. After two laps McCarley put the two larger bikes behind him and cruised in for the 250cc Novice win. Chris Cole led the l25cc Novices off the line with Tony Sulek right behind him. Cole pushed his . bike off the track a short time later, as Sulek romped into the lead and soon built up a safe margin, which he held 10 the finish. Everret Neal got th e holeshot in the 250cc Intermediate race but Todd Broussard passed him almost immediately 10 lead for the rest of the race and take th e trophy. Neal hung onto second a nd Tony Qualls survived some crashes to pi ck up third. Women 's Novice winner Kathy Jo Ehrp had such a fantastic start at the beginning of the Women's race that she had to look back in tum one to see if anyone else had started. They had and Ehrp was eventually passed by experts Mindy Smith and Dana Evenson. Smith and Evenson carried their battle to the checkered flag with Smith getting the Expert class win.
