(Below) Josh Larsen (rig ht) was the big winner In the SCratc h program during th e Speedway USA seasen opener In Victorville, California. Larsen smoothly pulled out to a quick threebike-length lead, putting h is Grandpa Russell /KG /Silkolene/Troy Lee Designs /Bell/Oakley / Answer Produets-sponsored Weslake on the deep cu shion lin e where he was never pressured. After a lacklus ter start, Venegas also got cranked up in the outside dirt, managing to take third place a way from Schwartz, who faded to fourth. Faria finished in second place. Part-time Motocross /Speedwa y veteran Randy Skinner slid his new GFl Sports/California Waves-backed Jawa to the win in the Handicap portion of the program, leading the meeting 's final event from early in lap two all the wa y to the checkered flag.

Also from the 70, Faria dazzled the noisy opening-night crowd with his deft outside passing, moving up to take third place ahead of Ronnie Kemp. Reaults SCRAlCH:1.Joah Larsen (Ws); 2.
