Perris motocross laurels
to Matiasevich
By Tony Alessi
PERRIS, CA. APR. 10
Jeff Matiasevich (12) topped Tony Amaradio (17) in Perris Raceway's 250cc Pro class.
Ken Remo (98) passed Paul Herman (69) for the 600cc Amateur win at Bakersfield ST.
Jeff "Chicken" Matiasevich celebrated llie
Easter weekend with the crew of GR Racing by
posting the overall 250cc Pro class win· at Perris
Raceway's Super Saturday MX.
Tony Amaradio grabbed the holeshot in the
opening moto and led the first four laps of the
12-lap race. Joe Schmoe Graphics-sponsored
Mike Metzger pressured Antaradio from the getgo, and took over the lead on lap five. Once in
the lead, Metzger began to pull away, leaving
Amaradio and a hard-charging Matiasevich
behind. At the halfway point, Matiasevich found
his way into second when Amaradio began to
tire.
Matiasevich began to close on Metzger, but
the kid turned the throttle harder and sailed
over a huge double jump near the finish line.
Matiasevich failed to duplicate Metzger's arial
antics and dropped a few seconds behind.
Metzger crossed the finish line with a IG-second
lead over Matiasevich and Amaradio. Upon
crossing the finish line, Metzger was cheered on
by the approving crowd on hand.
Moments before the gate dropped for the
second moto, Matiasevich pulled up to the line
next to Metzger and mumbled some inaudible
Dave Wolfskill came out of retirement to win the 30+ Expert class with a
2-1 score. Jeff Dirago edged Wolfskill to
the second spot in the first race, with
Dirago leading three of the five laps.
Wolfskill came back in the final outing
and led every lap. Dirago held onto his
second spot until Jerry Seip took over
with two laps to go. Wolfskill earned the
overall win with Dirago and Seip taking
second and third.
Expert-elass riders met again in the
Cycle Motion-sponsored Dash for Cash.
A feature of all five Tucker Rocky
events, the Dash for Cash is open to the
top eight finishers of all the Expert classes, offers a $500 purse and is run during
the halftime break. After Carsten, Spear,
Sheak, Dengler and Carroll took the top
five finishes, Johnstown, New York's
Andrew Cristiano won a Suzuki RMl25
that was donated and raffled off by Pro
Motion of East Stroudsburg,
Pennsylvania. Sponsors also donate
