A great rider turnout made for a full 4O-man
gate in the 250cc C class. As a giant cloud of dust
settled upon the crowd, Jason Stewart jumped
into the lead followed closely by Charles
Morrison, while the following riders elbowed
th.eir ~ay through the four-lap event. By lap two
Morrison gassed his way into a commanding
lead.
The 5 tart of moto two was as wild as the
first. Patrick Gualtieri grabbed the holeshot as
first-moto winner Morrison held second, followed by Jason Stewart, Joe Olish and Joe
Cartia.
A great moto-Iong battle between these riders let Morrlson blast past Gualtieri and on to
the checkered flag to secure the overall.

throughout the day.
. The first 125cc C Group n moto thundered
Into turn one with Suzuki-mounted Jason
Markwosky stealing the holeshot, thus avoiding
the five-bike pile-up in tum one. Markwosky,
closely followed by KX-mounted Tom Worrick,
led the first lap. Meanwhile, slashing his way to
the front was Craig Maurer. By lap three Maurer
had disposed of Worrick and was hot on the
heels of Markwosky. Pulling even on the jump
at the announcers tower, Maurer pushed ahead
on th~ inside line of turn two to lead
Markwosky to the whoop-infested back straight.
Never headed, Maurer stretched his lead to
some 15 seconds to take the checkered flag first.
A holeshot in moto two gave Maurer the
edge to lead every lap for the day's overall win.

Brant brilliant at Glen Helen
Speedway Opener
ByM. Sober
SAN BERNARDINO, CA, MAY 5
Budding speedway superstar Scott Brant ran
away with both halves of the first-division
mains on opening night at Glen Helen
Speedway. Joe-Erhardt won the Support-elass
main and the duo of Ross Miller/Dale Leeder
took the Sidecar-e1ass top-finishing honors.
.Brant ~ad.e short work of the Handicap
main. Starting on the 50-yard line next to the
likes of former multi-time National Champions
Mike Faria and Bobby Schwartz, as well as Gary
Hicks, Brant took a positively selfish attitude
toward what he obviously viewed as his own
personal event to win. After one .restart deposited 20-yard-starter Rod Saunders back to think
things over on the penalty 6O-yard line, Brant
took off like a demon from the first bell, actually
moving within a bike length of the lead before
the first Jap was in the books. At the completion
of lap two the verdict was in; baring technical
difficulties Brant would move away and enjoy a
comfortable margin of victory, which is exactly
what he dId. Venegas ran his own particular line
to the second-place money as Faria never could
make the outside work to his liking to move
beyond third. Sch)Varlz picke I.IN A
