CRC Grand Prix
win to Messenger
By Greg Robertson
PALMDALE CA.MAR.20
,
Perseverance paid off for Phillip Messenger as
he came from behind to capture the 250cc Beginner class win d uring California Racing Club's
Gold en Bear Grand Prix at Los Angel es County
Racew ay.
Messeng er, Steve Stancer and Rand y Lipp ie
got the jump on the field to lead the opening lap
of the 45-minute race before Stancer and Lippie
hooked up together and sta rted pulling away
from Messenger. Marc Woodard had moved up
to fourth and was feeling pressur e from Brooke
Yelsa .
By the 2D-minute mark in the race, the lead
battle betw een Stan cer an d Lipp ie had carrie d
them to a 2.Ckec
ond ad vantage over Messen ger.
lippie go t tir ed of ea tin g Stancer's roost and
drove a roun d him in a comer to take over the
top spot. Woodard was keeping Messenger in
sight until he crashed off a small double jump,
handing fourth to Tim Madd en .
Lippi e see me d to have the race in the bag,
pulling out a l Osecond lead w ith on ly a few
lap s remai ning, but tha t cha nged when Lipp ie
had troubl e and his lead shrank to almost noth ing. Sud de nly, Stancer wa s within striki ng distance of the lead er and being hounded by Mes- .
senge r, who out-raced him down a long straigh t
to move int o second and se t ou t af ter Lippie.
Messen ger quickly chewed up Lipp ie's lead and
wa s in po sit ion to ta ke control with the whi te
flag in sigh t. On the same straight on which he'd
p as sed Stance r, Messen ger kept th e t h rott le
p inned longer an d put the move of Lip p ie for
the lead . Lippie tried to retaliate, but Messenger
had the mom entum on his side and gree ted the
checke red flag first . Stancer ended up finishing
third, a good distan ce ahead of Woodard.
