Renauxroosts to LACR
Motocross victory
By Greg Robertson
PALMDALE,CA,jAN.16
Ken Renau x took top hon ors in the Old Timers
MX Association Mast er class with a 1-2 score
durin g California Racing Club' s Sunda y
motocross at Los Angeles County Raceway.
Renaux timed the first moto ga te perfectly to
take an early lead over Gary Willison, Tony Parsons and Jack Kell. Kell was the first to make a
28
mov e, d iv ing under Williso n in a tum to tak e
over second . Kell qu ickly zeroed in on Renaux
and started lookin g for pa ssin g roo m . Going
into a tigh t left hand tum Kell got a little anxio us a nd h it Renau x' s rear w heel, losi ng
momentum and allowing Willison to rail around
him an d back into seco nd place.
Kell retaliated im media tely, push ing Willison back in to third but began slowing a short
time la ter, evid en tly feeling th e effects of a
recent bout with the flu. Willison again found
himseU in second place behind Renaux. David
Rogers and Jim Draves were working up from
midpack starts to challenge Willison by the fifth
lap .
Rogers out-jumped Willison to move into
second with Draves doing the same a short time
later for third. Willison wo uld eventually drop
off the pace to finis h seventh. Renaux had no
problem with the pace and continued on, lead ing every lap, to ta ke the firs t moto victory.
Rog ers an d Draves stayed within a turn of
Renaux all the way to the finish for second and
third place, respectively. Kell held on for fourt h
ove r Mike Chesbro who' d worked up from last
to fifth.
Willison held a two-bike-Ieng th adv antage

Humphrey heavy hauler
at Cow Palace Arenacross
By Mike Vancil
SAN FRANCISCO, CA. JAN.9
Craig Hump hrey p ow ered his Hump hrey's
Plumbing/D-H Cycles / O' Neal-sponsor ed Suzuki to three main even t wins at the 11th running
of the Mike Kidd-promoted "Nothing Bu t Air
Tour '94" Arenacross at the famed Cow Palace .
After esta blishing himself as one of the more
capable riders in his heat race, Humphrey went
to the line in his first finaL the 125cc Intermediate class . At the snap of the rubber start mechanism, Humphrey came off the line first, through
tum one with no trouble and attacked the
whoop sectio n to establish an earl y lead . Running a distant second was Mike Gonzales and
thir d was Jason Mathews, while back in fourth
was Matt Kirar. The order changed on the second lap wh en Mathews moved into second an d
began to d uplicate th e mass ive leaps o ff th e
double ju m p approa ch ramp that were being
performed by Humphre y. The o rder d idn 't
change from th at poin t until the checke rs.
Humphrey scared hi mself, and his supporters,
on the last lap when he landed poorly after the
tricky medi um-heigh t doubles preceeding the
finish line straight; he had both feel off the footpegs and was laying over the hand leb ars for
several wobbly mo ments befo re regaining his
balance and d rive.
Humphrey's seco nd class wi n came in the
250cc Intermediate class quite late in the pr ogram. Chris Baccelli on a Honda grabbe d the
holeshot but was followed closely by Humphrey
un til Mathews passed Humphrey in mid-air off
the big jum p. The mistakes were taking their toll
on Humphrey as he wa s then bumped back to
fourth wh en Shawn Parks got by on a Kawasaki.
Parks kept charging and got to second place by
lap th ree when Humphrey was apparently just
getting into a rhythm. By then it was too late for
Humphrey to better his positio n and he settled
for a fourth place behind winner Chris Baccelli ,
Shawn Parks and Mathews.
Humphrey led off the line in the last race of
the day, the 125cc Open class, and he launched
so energetically off the ramp that he improved
his lead by double the distance he'd had pri or to
that. Running sec ond wa s Hawk Wh ite; third
was Jeff Borcha rd . By midrace, Humphrey wa s
nearly a half lap ahead and took the eas y win
over White and Borchard.

saw Paul Iwanaga nabbing the win over Frank
Nye, while John Hlebo took the win over Ted
Taylor in hea t four . Jack Jenson, Sean Lollar and
Rod Spencer won the three transfer spots from
the wild and crazy semi-main that had 16 riders
bangin' bars on the challenging but fun 1/10
mile dirt oval. Rob Damron won the last chance
race to earn the final ticket to the main.
Starter Jerry Kennedy got the riders off to a n
even start in the main event with Landes blasting off the line to take the holeshot, chased by
Puccio, [wan aga and Taylor. By the th ird lap
both lwana ga and Taylor had worked past Puccio . By the h al fwa y point, Spencer, who h ad
started from the b a ck row, had worked h is
Ho nda into the top five . As the checkerd flag
waved, Landes was the winner, having ridden a
very smooth race. He was chased across the line
by Iwanaga, Spencer, Taylor and Hlebo.
In the Under 16 class, Jason Murrell took a
wire-to-wire win over Gary Rogers. Murrell
emerged as th e lead e r from the first-t um
squeeze at the start of the race with Rogers and
Da ve Mo rg an in tow. By the halfway ma rk,
Murrell had a comfo rtable lead whil e Morgan
