By David Procida
SUNNYMEAD, CA, AUG. 21
Brian Richar dson used hi s determination,
a long with i little lu ck. to tak e home top
honors in the SMX·spon,ored 250cc Novi ce
cla ss racing action.
As the gate fell for the first mo to, Billy
Champion used his holeshot ability to lead
the large pack of novi ces on -the opening lap.
Taking over, after studying Champion 's li nes
for a few comers. was J oey Prais. As Prais
moved into the lead. the pack began to sort
themselves out, jockeying for the top five
positions were Steve Waltman, Mark Fisher,
and Ed Vitelli. Richardson had been crowded
out on the star t and was currently in 11th.
H e began to cut and thrust his way through
the pack improving his pos ition up to the
number six slot by the end of th e second lap.
Fisher had now ad vanced into seco nd,
dropp ing Champion back to third with jeff
Young and Ed Vitelli in front of Richardson.
Up a t the front, Prais was powering away from
Young and Champion, while Richardson was
dosing on th e pan.
As th e moto wound down in th e closing
lap. Prais took a com fortable win o ver Young,
who was holding off Rich ardso n for second.
Vitelli slipped by Champion to fourth. behind
Richardson o n th e last lap. •
Richardson was primed and read y for action
as the ga lt: dr opped to sta rt mota two. nailing
the holeshot. As th e rider, bumped a nd shoved
going into th e first tum, Young again found
himself near th e from of th e pack with Vitelli,
Fisher. and Pra is in close company.
Young sta yed with Richardson th e en tire
moto, wh ile Prais was working hard in an
auempt to m ove up in the ranks. Prais
eventually 'passed Fisher a nd then Vitelli. but
You ng proved too to ugh 10 handle and kep t
Prais out of the: win ner's circl e. Richardson,
goi n~3 - 1 won th e overall. with Young scoring
a pall of seco nds for second overall. Prais
co mbined a first moto win wit h his second
