CMC Trans-Cal Series: Fina l Round
Clean sweep for .Upton
at Glen Helen MX
By Paul Kellen
SAN BERNARDINO, CA, SEPT, 28·29
ixteen-year-old Donald U p to n
won II of 12 mo tos that he competed in at the-final round of the
CMC T ra ns-Cal Series, held at Glen
Helen Raceway. The two-day '·event
pitted,north and south series contenders against one an ot her to compete for
overall series -titles. Upton 's wins in
the 125, 250 and 500cc In termediate
classes on both days secured all three
titles for the GP Construction/Racewa y Honda/ Pro Circuit/Sus Ito
Graphics-backed rider.
,
Upton 's sti ffest competition came in
S
36
ail! Coo k (S UI); 4. Glenn
th e form of Mike Metzger in the 125cc
Interm ediate class. Metzger was the
on ly rider to top Up ton in a moto,
doing so in Saturday's opening race.
Metzger sto le th e hol esh ot, while
Upton was mired at the start and
completed the first lap mid-pack. By
th e rno tos en d, . U p ton reeled in
Metzger and snuck past , only to have
Metzger retake the lead with a wideopen last di tch effort.
"Man, if he wanted it that bad, he
could have it," said Upton. " It' s only
the first moto, no sense in crashing."
Upton returned with a vengeance in
th e second moto and q uic kly established a comfortable lead after nabbing
the ho leshot, Metzger, Jeff Brownlee
and Terry Parsons follow ed Up ton
across the line.
Upton went on to POSI double rnoto
wins in the 250 and 500cc classes with
comfortable margins of victory, and
returned on Sunday to run away with
every moto in whi ch he compe ted.
"This is the best weekend I've ever
had, " said a happy Upton . " I can' t
believe that I won all three series
champ ionships!"
In the same fashi on as Up ton, La
Habra . Suzuki/Sinisalo-backed Mike
Young posted seven wins in the eigh t
mot os that he competed in , to dominate the 125 and 250cc Pro classes on
bo th da ys. Young suffered hi s only
defeat in Sunday's first 250cc Pro moto.
Northern Californ ia 's Sco tt Myer s
found h is way past Young on the last
lap to notch th e moto win .
Young, however, was untou chable
in every other moto as he roosted across
th e finish line with sizable lead s each
tim e. Bubba Eri ck son a n d Chris
Young rounded out Saturday's 125cc
Pro rostrum , wh ile Sunday's runnerups were Chris Young and Damon
Huffman. Huffman and Chris Young
finished second and third, respectively ,
on both da ys in the 250c Pro class.
Chris Young's claim to fame came
in the 500cc Pro class, as he scored the
overall win on both da ys. Following
Young across the finish line each day
was Rex Staten, who also proved to
be the weekend 's fastest Vet Pro. Myers
was third 500cc Pro on Saturday, while
Craig Canoy claimed that spot on
Sunday.
