Whiting whips 'em at
Perris Motocross
By Tony Alessi
PERRIS, CA, APR. 3
A.J. Whiling used consistent scores to capture
the overaU 12Sec Pro class win during Super
Saturday MX, held at Perris Raceway,
In the first moto, rookie pro Larry Linkogle
grabbed the holeshot and led Damon Huffman,
Yuiichiro Kawashima and Spud Walters down
·the front straight. As the riders flew towards a
set of double jumps, Huffman flew over the bars
wjthout warning. Before remounting in last
place, Huffman took considerable lime to
inspect his front wheel.
Linkogle, meanwhile, extended his lead Over
Kawashima, wha in turn held up a trio of hard
charging riders. Walters, Steve Andrich and
Billy Joe Mercier all looked for a way past the
Japanese rider. Mercier was the most aggressive
rider, and muscled his way past his competitors
until he was in second behind Linkogle.
Mercier carved deep inside Linkogle in a rut-
ted turn and shoved the leader off the track.
Mercier took over the lead while Linkogle struggled to regain his composure. Andrich and
Whiting slipped past the miffed Linkogle and
took over second and third.
Mercier left the competition behind aboard
his AXO/Motul/Pro Circuit-backed Kawasaki
and scored the mota win ahead of Whiting,
Andrich and Walters.
A teenage·trio of Andrich, Huffman and
Mike Metzger led the way at "the start of mota
two. Huffman wasted little time displacing
Andrich and smoking away with an easy mota
win. Metzger also passed Andrich, and finished
a solid second, seven seconds behind Huffman.
Walters rode smoothly to fmish third, just
ahead of Whiling and first moto winner Mercier.
When the dust settled, Whiling was awarded
the overall win with his 2~ finishes. Meeder
was second overall with a 1·5 scorecard, and
Walters was third with his 4-3.
Sinisalo's Brian Manley turned in a pair of
runner-up finishes to gamer the overall win in
the 250Cc Pro class. Manley led much of the first
moto, but a tumble in the rockers handed the
win to Australian Peter Melton. Manley recovered for second, ahead of Donald Upton,
Gordon Ward and Jason Frenelle.
Manley led the first lap of the second moto
but was no match for Huffman. Huffman
notched a runaway win over Manley I Melton
and Ward.
