Team Gree n su p po rt rid er Mickey
Kessler put togeth er a pair of rn oto
win s to take the 500cc Pro clas s while
fellow T eam G reen rider Bri an
Carroll score d a 4-1 to take the 125cc
Pro clas s at Ra cewa y Park's season
opener.
Kessler - ca pitalized on his third
place start to ta ke the win in moto
one after a hard fought battle with
Kurt McMillen on a Honda.
One of the best races of th e da y
was th e fin al 500cc Pro rnoto. Kessler
stalled hi s Kawasaki in turn o ne
leavin g h im dea d last with th e
lead ers long go ne. After restarting,
the hometown favorite rode like a
man possess ed, pi cking off riders in
leaps and bounds. By the end of th e
moto, Kessler had passed every rider
for the win a nd the overall.
In the highl y competitive 125cc
Pro class T eam Green 's Brian Carro ll ha d h is hands full with Kawasaki rid \ Chris Co lema n and Mark
Lack ov, ' LZ , as we ll a s H ondamounted Robert McCullough. In
moto o ne Lac kowicz jumped to the
early lead leaving a battle for second
between McCullough and Col em an.
Meanwhile, Carroll was fighting h is
way through th e pa ck aft er a poor
start. The fight for second was fierce
with M cCullou~h and Coleman
battli ng the enure race. Coleman
would catch th e Honda of McCullough in th e turns only to be pulled
on the straight sectio ns. H ard ch arging Carroll co nt in ued to pick off '
riders, sett ing hi s sigh ts on th e
leaders. On th e white flag lap,
Coleman tried every trick in the book
to get by McCullough but th e Honda
rider kept closin~ the door. T wo
turns from th e finish Col em an made
a last ditch effort o n th e sweeper
before th e back straigh t j um p but
McCullough held tough and took
th e checkered a hea d of Col eman.
Carroll' s im pressive rid e th rough the
. pack netted him a fourth behind
Lackowicz , McCullough and Col eman which wo u ld prove decisive for
th e overa ll.
In th e seco nd 125cc Pro mo to
Carroll demonstrated the style and
speed th at earned him th e New j ersey
number o ne p la te for 1988. After
grabbi ng th e hol esh o t he sim ply
motored away fro m th e rest of the
pack, fin ish in g 10 seconds ahead of
second p lace. T he d uel for second
was a carbon copy of the intense first
moto fight o nly this time Kaw asak imou nted Cole man ba ttled wi th
Suzuki rider Bob H ayes. Co leman
was again wor king overti me in mot p
two, th is tim e, however , hi s last la p
pass stuc k, and he ended up with a
3-2 tally. Col em an 's 3-2 was good
eno ugh for second overall beh in d
Carrol l.
