Goertz wins Bastrop
Hare Scrambles
By Bob Windham
BASTROP, TX, MAR. 28
Honda-mounted Mark Goertz scored the overall
and AA class win at round 10 of the Texas
Championship Hare Scrambles Series in
Bastrop. Finishing second in class was Yamaha
rider Shaun Martin, followed by Steve Cardwell,
Doug Paley and Clifford Goertz.
Cardwell blasted into the early lead, but he
would later on develop brake problems as well
as a flat front tire. This allowed Goertz to close
in and eventually pass the luckless rider for the
lead. Martin was another front-runner who fell
victim to the rock-covered, cactus and mesquite-lined course, losing valuable time in the pits
changing a rear wheel. Martin would re-enter
the race and work his way back up to second
but couldn't get close enough to the leader
Goertz to make a challenge.
In the A class division, Bert Reynolds,
aboard a 300cc KTM, and Clint Woods, riding a
Honda CRI25, were top contenders, and when it
was all over, it was the agility of Woods' smallbore Honda winning out over the brute power
of Reynolds' KTM. Woods finished a fujI nine
minutes over Reynolds. Third went to KTM
rider David Peters, while Byron Hanson and
Andy Wright rounded out the top five.
Mark Vickers and Stuart Edwards diced
closely for the lead in the 250cc B division. It
wasn't until the halfway point when Vickers'
began to pull a slight lead on Edwards. Vickers
would go on to score the win ahead of Edwards,
Don Murphy, Carter White and Michael Traylor.

EL PASO, TX, MAR 27
Kevin Clark handled the 250cc Novice class ·at
the Coors Light-sponsored EI Paso Stadium
SOpercross.
.
After watching Mark Traversy win hardfought battles in the 250 and 500cc Expert divisions, Clark decided that he preferred an easier
approach. Clark was about fourth into the first
tum of the first moto, but he squared it off, blew
into the front and never looked back.
The start of-the second moto was a different
story. Clark got the holeshot and was on cruise
control, when all of a sudden he was challenged
by Clancy Calkin. Ca1kin tried every line on the
track to get by, but was not able to complete the
pass. On the last lap, Clark wicked it up. With
Calkin on his rear tire, Clark grabbed a handful
of brake and took the inside line on a very tight
right-hand turn. Calkin had planned to take the
middle line and block-pass Clarke, but Clarke's
gamble paid off. Calkin got out of shape and
clipped a hay bale, and Clark went on for the
win.

Suzuki pilot Greg Rand captured three out of
four overall wins at Motocross of Marion
County's southeastern qualifer for Loretta
Lynn's. There were 370 riders from seven states
attending the AMA event.
Rand ·kicked off the day by easily winning
all four motos in the 125 and 250cc A Modified
classes. In the first 125cc A Stock moto, Rand
battled with Josh Latina, Jon Rightmire, Don
Formo and Steve Allred. Latina and Rand diced
for the lead all of the seven laps, with Rand handling lapped traffic to take the win.
1n the second moto Rand rocketed into the
lead, as Latiru! gave chase. Latina stayed a couple of seconds behind Rand, until Rand slid to a
stop with a seized engine. This gave Latina the
overall win, and Rand his only loss of the day.

Attrition made his victory possible, however, as
the combination of unseasonably cool weather
and soft sand resulted in many seized engines.
Hans Vanderwaall was one of these riders
who fell victim to "sudden loss of horsepower
syndrome" on his Honda CR5OO, but ended up
scoring the Open Expert class win, via being the

Gaddis grabs Kingman MX
By A.H. Tellier
IClNGMAN, AZ, APR. 13
Jimmy Gaddis treated the spectators at the
Kingman Stadium to a spectacle that nonnal1y
only reaches the small 1-40 tefueling stop of
Kingman through the miracle of satellite television, grabbing the win in the Pro class in the
Whiplash Wars Stadium Cross.
In deference to the amateur ranking of most
of the riders, organizer Jay McKinley opted for
only one double jump and no tabletop, but the
many action-thirsty fans who showed up at the
Mojave County Fairgrounds facility didn't seem
to mind.
The Team Splitfire/Hot Wheels/Pro Circuit
Kawasaki rider made the two-hour drive from
Las Vegas, and ended lapping the entire field
except for Ted Campbell and Des Piihl, who finished second and third, respectively. Steve
Czemiski, who has only been racing for six
months, finished a respectable fourth.
In the Amateur class, Tim Kennedy bailed
hard in the doubles while leadins- suffering a
broken forearm. Inheriting the victory over the
19-rider field was Joe Weber, and Heath Mitchell
was the runner-up. Mitchell had talr.en a wild
tumble in his heat race, but he was impressive in
the main. He did have a scare, however, when
he landed on the lip of the second double and
barely avoided going down again.
Terry Kennedy, on a box-stock DR350, gave
it a go in the Beginner class, and took down
Bobby Creek and Wayne Derrow in the whoops.
Dylan Guthrie rode ahead of the mayhem to
score the Beginner-class win.
By L.C. Pearman
LAKEWOOD, CO, MAR 28
Mall Whitmarsh, racing in both the Pee Wee B
and Mini Novice classes at Lakewood Race Park,
was the first to see the checkered flag in each of
his four motos.
The excitement came in the Pee Wee class,
with Billy Dolson pulling the holeshot in moto
one. Whitmarsh was fourth out of the gate and
closed quickly.on Dolson. A few comers later
Whitmarsh had positioned himself to make an
inside move on Dotson, and he took over the
lead. Dolson was all over Whitmarsh, but was
not able to get a move in that would stick,. and
had to settle for the second spot.
Moto two is where the two young guns
shined. Dotson was the holes hot artist again
with Whitmarsh just behind. The two were
never more than a bike length apart. Whitmarsh
would show his tire to Dolson in every comer,
but Dolson held and protected all the right lines.
When they came around for the white flaSDolson and Whitmarsh had picked the pace up
·another notch. With less than 50 yards to the
checkered, both riders were handlebar to handlebar coming into the last comer. Whitmarsh
barely notched the win.

UVERMORE, CA, MAR 21
Jon Nicolaus roosted to the win in the Pro class

District 36 Nor-Cal Gran Prix/ Any Rider
Kawasaki Challenge.
The O'Neal/Power Bar/Lamson Porting/
Works Connection/JN innovations/Peninsula
Honda-sponsored Nicolaus topped Stan Fmney
both times out on the newly modified Carnegie
track. although FInney kept the pressure on as
they diced throughout both motos. Justin
Owenby kept his Yamaha in contention for most
of the laps, but had to settle for a pair of thirdplace finishes, while brother Monty Owenby
placed fourth in the first moto, then experienced
mechanical difficulties in the final and retired
early.
Power Bar/Yoko/Motorcycles Unlimited
Honda-backed Richard Quinones battled Sam
Love in both 250cc Novice class motos, but was
able to take the wins and the overall, with Love
scoring two seconds for second overall. Hondamounted Chuck Reidmuller finished third in the
first outing and slipped to fourth in moto two,
but still managed to score a third overall. Mall
Kirar was third in mota two, but a molo-one
ninth held him to sixth overall
Quinones made it a perfect day as he also
topped both Up the Hill class motos for the
avera)) in that division. Yamaha-mounted David
Davis and Steve Swisher traded the runner~up
spot after two moto-Iong battles that saw Davis
earning second overall by virtue of a beller
result in the final go-round. A pair of fourths
put Greg Mashore in fourth overall.
Bobby Morello dominated the action in the
Pee Wee class as he took the overall ahead of
Joshua WeBs and Tony Dibasillio, second and
third, respectively.
A close battie kept things hopping in the
60cc Novice class, as Joey Allen edged out
Christopher Loredo and Kathy Pruitt in the first
moto. Pruitt came back in moto two to take the
