Brindle blasts Bakersfield ST
By Laura Tisinger
BAKERSFIELD, CA. APR. 18
Jeff Brindle blasted the 600cc Intermediate class
on the oval to score the win at Bakersfield
Speedway's third round of the Central
California ChampiOnship Spring Series.
In heat race action, Pro rider Danny Ritchie
was the early leader who went on to claim the
win. Sid Payne, Jack Jones, Gary Williams and
Douglas Lee rounded out the top five.
As they say, "It 'ain't over till it's over." That
was the story for the 600cc Intermediate feature.
Brindle blasted off the line for the holeshot
closely followed by Ritchie, who wasn't going to
give him an inch. Williams powered into third,
and Payne and Jones into fourth and fifth,
respectively. By the second lap, Brindle held off
Ritchie's back-straight charge, while Payne overtook third ahead of Jones and Jeff Marison.
WiUiams experienced some problems, dropping
him back to sixth.
Brindle and Ritchie continued the dicing
show much to the enjoyment of the spectators.
Brindle held off the hard-eharging efforts of
Ritchie to claim the win at the checkers. Payne
claimed third, Jones fourth, and Marison fifth.

MALVERN, OH. APR. 25
Cold temperatures and rain couldn't stop Bill
Roberts, as he raced to a double-moto sweep of
the 125cc B c1ass at Malvern MX Park. Rain was
about the only thing to dampen Roberts' day, as
he had a convincing, wire-to-win! romp in the
second moto.
Roberts took the lead at the start of moto one
with Marty Ling and Jamie Martin in hot pursuit. Roberts moved out to a four-second lead
while Ling and Martin diced for second. Martin
jammed ahead of Ling on lap four and began to
close slightly on Roberts. At the end of the race.
Roberts enjoyed a small)ead over Martin, while
Ling followed them home at a distance in third.
Todd Marnin and Charlie Hiner rounded out
the top five finishers.
Despite the rain that poured steadily from
the sky, Roberts grabbed the holeshot at the start
of the second moto. Martin and Marnin, as well
as Ling gave chase. Caution was the name of the
game, as the track became rutted and slick.
By mid-moto, Ling had passed Mamin and
set out after Martin. Ling managed to work past
Martin half a lap before the checkered flag and
finished some distance behind Roberts.
'1 hate mud," said Roberts.
Mike Katin scored double-moto wins in the
250cc A class. Ty Myers and Vince Karnow
chased Katin into turn one with Karnow pressuring Myers for second. On lap two, Kamow
motored into second wth Myers holding a close
third. As Katin pulled away from the pack,
Myers continued to pound on Kamow's rear
wheel. With two laps to go, Kamow and Myers
tangled. Kamow found himself on the ground
but remounted in time to finish third. Katin took
a wire-Urwire win over Myers and Karnow.
When the gate dropped in moto two, Katin
was once again out front with Myers and
Kamow in his shadow. As in mota one, Katin
went on unchallenged throughout the eight-lap
race. With the track getting muddier and muddier, Myers momentarily lost control of his
Kawasaki and allowed Kamow to motor into
second. Katin took the checkered flag with
Karnow a distant second over Myers, Gallager
and Easton in tow.

Carroll stars at Raceway Park
Honda Shootout Motocross
By Paula Brown
ENGUSHTOWN, NJ, APR.25
Beautiful weather, great track conditions and
exciting racing marked the Honda Big Bucks
Shootout at Raceway Park. Few classes had the
same winner in both motos, and even fewer
motos had '!he sam.e leader throughout.
Spectators had to divide their time between the
eventful racing and the festivities across the
street where Honda had set up demo rides for
off-road and street bikes and trials champ Ryan
Young rode two exhibition sessions.
The first 250cc Expert moto started with a
first tum pile-up and Neil Woerner emerging in
the lead. Woerner spent four laps in first as
Brian Carroll was working his way to the front.
Bruce Stratton and Mike Moore were formidable
obstacles but they each gave up their positions
to a charging Carroll. By lap five, Carroll was
leading, Woerner had slipped back to second,
and Moore and Stratton were holding down
third and fourth, respectively. The positions
stayed the same to the checkered flag.
New challengers emerged in the lina1 250cc
Expert moto as Andy Reck, Lee Rostein and
Pete Jastremski held the top three spols in the
opening laps. Fleck went down but managed to
scramble back on his bike in time to hold onto
the lead. Carroll entered the top three in lap
four, and in the next two laps worked his way to
the front by dropping Fleck to second. Carroll
established a comfortable lead by moto's end
with Fleck finishing second in the moto and in
the overall standings. Rostein was the third man
across the finish line, followed by Stratton and
Jeff Yentzer.
Competition was tough in the Open Expert
class. Bob Burfield took off to an early lead in
the first moto with Phil Carlin, Rostein and
Carroll keeping the pressure on. Burfield lost the
lead to Carroll in lap five when Carroll turned in
a well executed pass. Carroll then took off,
building a winning lead over runner-up
Burfield. They finished a dis lance ahead of
Rostein and Carlin.
The final Open Expert moto saw Burfield
pull the holeshot but Carroll quickly look the
lead and led each and every one of the seven
laps despite intense pressure from Rostein, who
finished second after dropping Burfield to third.
Carroll, naturally, was the overall winner,
Rostein's 3-2 earned him second-overall and
Burfield was third overall via his 2-3 tally.
Jeff Yentzer failed to win either 125cc Expert
moto but he garnered the overall victory via a 23 day. Bruce Stratton won the opening moto
after taking over the lead spot from Yentzer in
the third lap. Ty Wallace was third, Jim
Mcilvaine fourth and Pele Jastremski fifth.
Yenrzer grabbed the leac! from Dan Wilson
during lap four of the finall25cc Expert moto,
but he bobbled as he approached the finish line
and Jastremski took advantage of his miscue
and passed Yenrzer to score the win. Mcilvaine
also got around Yentzer to finish second with
Stratton finishing fourth. The overall results
read: Yentzer (2-3), Stratton (1-4), Jastremslci (51), Mcilvaine (4-2) and Wilson (6-5).

Hammer Down Short
Track win to Nickens
By Gene Gilmore
RED SPRINGS, NC, APR. 17
Fifteen-year-old John Nickens III showed the
250cc Pros the fast line at Hammer Down
Speedway.
Donnie Krusinski grabbed the holeshot into
turn one with Robert Lewis stuck to his rear
wheel. As Lewis and Krusinski concentrated on
each other, Nickens crept up on them in tum
three. Before anyone could react, Nickens stuck
his wheel in the door and zoomed past Lewis on
the inside to grab the second spot. Next,
Nickens scooted under I.ed by to chase Nickens. Lewis
rocketed up on Nickens, almost touching him as
they hung it oul through the comers, handlebarto-handlebar. Neither rider would give an inch,
