T.e. Brinegar finished a solid third in the first
moto and roared back with a vengeance in moto
two to nab the overall win in the Vet Junior class
at the Racing Enterprises-promoted Saturday
MX. held at Carlsbad Raceway.
An enthusiastic 6e1d of racers showed up to
compete on the track. as it was prepared in the
same fashion that it was for Commotion by the
Ocean VI, an aru>.ua1 event held one week earlier. The course routed racers down the entire
Carlsbad Freeway downhill, as well as over the
whoops and jumps that were added for the previous event. Eight-lap motos gave racers more
than enough track time.
Orange County Suzuki's Jeff Pittman was
the fastest off the line in the opening moto, and
grabbed a huge holeshot over Jeff Grovom, Jeff
Scott, Pete McCormick and Brinegar. Pittman set
a blistering pace on the opening lap and established an early lead, but as the laps wound
down he began to fade. First to pounce was
Grovom, and once into the lead the Yamaha
pilot motored away with the eventual win.
Brinegar, meanwhile, maintained a steady pace
while Scott and McCormick scrambled to get
past Pittman.
Both riders found their way past Pittman by
the fourth lap, as did Brinegar one lap later.
With two laps remaining, Scott held down second, just ahead' of McCormick and Brinegar. But
like Pittman, Scott began to tire and allowed first
McCormick, then Brinegar past. With that, the
positions were set and Grovom scored a commanding win over McCormick, Brinegar, Scott
and Pittman.
Brinegar was ready for the start of moto two,
and jetted into the lead aboard his Honda
CR500. Pittman was a close second, but poor
line selection on the opening lap saw him on the
ground and in last place. Pittman remounted
and put on an impressive charge that carried
him to and eventual seventh.
Brinegar fought off the early charges off
Scott, Grovom and McCormick, and pulled even
further away as the race wound down. Grovom
took a spectacular trip over the bars in the
whoop section while dicing with Scott and
McCormick, but recovered quickly enough to
come back and challenge McCormick for third.
At the finish, Brinegar rode unchaI1enged, while
Scott held on for second ahead of Grovom, who
nipped McCormick for third. Brinegar's 3-1
scores edged Grovom's 1-3 for the overall win,
while Scott earned third with his 4-2 tally.
Escondido Cycle Center's Dennis Dahlin was
the dominant force in the Intermediate ranks, as
he ran away with the wins in both motos aboard
his Suzuki RM250. JT USA's Jonathan Knight
and Enzo Racing's Kurt Rood waged an all-out
war for the runner-up position, with Rood prevailing in the end. Knight surprised Rood late in
the first moto with a pass for second, but Rood
dropped the hammer in the second go-round
and finished a solid second despite having track
banners wrapped in his rear wheel.

By Dick Archer
BlJUJSIlORO,PA, MAY 16
Dave Green won three of four motos in the
25Oa: and 25+ Expert classes, as a light rain fell
to moisteI) the potentially dusty course of the
Pagoda Me.
Green managed to keep ahead of the hungry
pack in the +25 race, despite some tough competition from Chris Brynildsen and Rudy Altieri.
In the 250cc division, Green's primary competiton came from Ron Potenski and Altieri.
Open Expert racing saw some of the same
contenders, but the win clearly went to
Brynildsen, who took the checkers first in both
motos.
Michael Bear jumped out in front in both
motos of the 125cc Expert class, easily dusting
the competition with 1-1 finishes.
Young John FuhIz dominated both motos of
the Schoolboy class.
The Woodsmen class presented some of the
closest racing for the day with Doug Van Hom
nipping at Dave Eshback's heels lap after lap in
moto one, finally passing him on the final circuit
in a long set of whoops. Eshback caught him as
they drag-raced to the flag. and won the overall
as well
