JAN. 30 Paul Iwanaga picked up right where he left off in th e 1987 season by claiming ano ther light to flag victory in the 500cc Expert division at the first R&D Enterprise even t of 1988 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. On th e in augural evening of the R&D seaso n and th e first event of a Monterey H igh Point Series Iwanaga gra bbed th e lead comi ng o u t of turn two and never had to do more th an jus t ride hi s normal race to ge t the win in th e hea t race. Co mi ng seco nd to Iwan aga was H ondamo unted Jimmy H iguera. In the 12-lap fin al the race was p ra cticall y a rerun of the hea t race for Iwan aga had the lead by a wheel co mi ng out of turn two and it was aga in Hi guera o n to cha lle nge. These two never cha nged positi ons but the rema inder of th e pack was constantly changing. Kevin Crowley rode smoothly to a di stant third at th e fini sh . . J o hn Pack won the 500cc Junior and th e Junior Open class finals while brother Bob .used his trusty Honda to cop the 250cc Novice final. In the 250cc Novice final the lu ck disappeared for heat winner Troy Watts as he could not comp lete the 12 laps and earned a sixth place. Early battles betw een Mark Bakhit and Michelle DiSalvo settled down to these three pulling awa y from everyon e else. Pack kept th e lead for a short wh ile th en Bakhit held it for nearl y the whole di stance. On the last lap Pack got th e better drive out of turn four and n ip ped Bakhit at th e line. DiSal vo h eld o ff Gregory En yart to keep third pl ace. In both the 500cc Junior final and th e O pen fina l it was J ohn Pack barel y ahead of Anthony Gi amman co. T hir d p lace in both even ts was well off the pace of the leaders.e Res ul ts P/W: 1. Craig Gonzales (Yam); 2. M ich ael Hanna s (Suz); 3. Adam M ill er (Yam); 4. Bryo n Gr ier (Vam) . • 60; 1.
