By Tony Alessi
PERRIS, CA. APR. II
Nine-year -old Vance Freeman won hi. firstever race in the 60cc 9-11 year -old class at GFI
Super Sa turday MX, held at Perris Raceway.
Freeman battled Roland R od ri q u ez
throughout the firsl moto, and both riders
raced all-out during each lap of the race.
Freeman found an opening la te in the race
to make the pass for the lead , then stayed in
control for the remainder of the moto.
Rodriquez had th e stan wired and again
led th e class through the first tum in moto
two. Freeman glued himself to the back fender
of Rodriquez and it appeared to be shaping
up as a repeat of th e first m o to , Freeman made
hIS move down a very fast back suaightaway
by sim ply not shutting off. Freeman led for
half a lap before Rodriquez reralliated by
co mi ng up with a swift pass on his o wn , just
before the finish line tum where his dad was
sta nd i ng. Rodr iq uez put some distan ce
betw een himself and Freeman but made a
mistake over the front tab letop jump. Rodriquez got sideways, then bogged, and that was
all Freeman needed to squirt into the lead and
to th e checkered nag. Rodriquez rode a strong
set of metes for run ner-u p honors wh ile Emiu
Kling topped the 8 and Under class .
David Loftin put together a pair of strong
moto finishes for the 125cc BelPnner class
victory. Josh Wray ran away with th e firs t
moto and was uncontes ted throughout the
race. Johnny Bonacci kept his Suzuki pinned
the entire mo ta , bu t cou ld o nly manage a
second place finish in front of Loftin, Kiefer,
Packwood and Staab.
Loftin pulled a tremendous hol esho t in th e
seco nd rnoto and promptly disappeared.
Loftin won with a big lead and rode alone.
Eddie Staab moved from a fifth place start
to second when Wray became tangled up
behind a do wned rider in a deep rutted berm,
Wray settled for third in front of Packwood
and Bonacci.
