Vic to r Banuelos, Dustin Cou rtney and Mitchell argued over the lead as the first moto got underway. Terracciano had trou ble on the opening lap and found himself ncar the back of the pack. By the midway po int in the race, it became a two-rider shootout for the lead between Banuelos and Mitchell. Terracciano was slicing through the field, all the way to third place by the white flag. The last lap was a !reefor-all with Mitchell comin g ou t on top over Terracciano and then Banuelos. Noa h Adams ed ged ou t Te rr accia n o a nd Se t h Kee na for th e se con d· m o to hol esho t. Adams immediately came under fire from Terracciano as he sta rte d dogging h im in every turn. Mitchell out-jumped Kenna for third, but Keena then shot past Mitchell at the Kal Ga rd tow er jump. Mitchell retaliated down the back straigh t with a pass .tha t stuck. A fien:e, three-way battle for the lead developed with Terracciano and Mitchell glued to Adams' back fender. Terracciano cleared a dou- ble that Adams didn't, whkh set him up to rail a ro u nd Adams in the foll ow in g turn for the lead. Seconds later, Mitche ll jumped past Adams in to second and set ou t after Terra cciano. Th e final tw o laps saw Terracci ano and Mitchell circulate the sandy track only a few feet apart When the checkers fell, Terracciano held a bike-length advantage for the molo and overa ll win.

MAYI Consisten t moto finish es put Jason Omanson on the podium in the 250cc Beginn er class during round three of the C MC/Su ns ta r Sp roc ke ts Spring Classic Nationals at Los Angeles County Raceway. In the first molO, it was Dustin Dalley lead ing the fiel d in to th e firs t turn followed b y Omanson and Scott Pemberton. fn the opening parts of t h e fir st lap, Pemberton made a n unscheduled de tour off the track that let Cory Hudson , Darren Rivers, Trigger Gumm and TBone Carley by. Up front, Dalley and Omanson were obli vious to the action behind them as they waged a war of their own. The two riders wen t at it for most of the race un til Omanson fell back after going off the track. Gumm mounted a charge to the front, bu t it was sho rt lived . Gumm then flew pas t both Hudson and Rivers with ease, but a cras h put him back 10 the fifth spot. Gumm charged back from his crash to finish in the fourth spot, while Rivers made a move to take over the third spot from Hudson on the fourth lap and made it stick. At the finish, the order remained the same; Dalley had the win followed by Omanson and Rivers. In the second molo it was Omanson with the early lead, with Dalley and Pemberton trailing. Pemberton moved out front quickly, while Daley and Pemberton duked it out for second . The du o swapped positions back and forth for two laps until Pemberton made a pass stick. Pemberton kept up his momentum and chased after the leader, Omanson. With one lap 10go, Pemberton was breathing down Omanson's neck. But before Omanson could react, he wen t off the track. With Om anson 's m isfortune, bo th Pem be rton a nd a fastmoving Gumm moved past. In the end, Pemberton took the second mo to win with Gumm and Omanson following . Omanson still managed 10 take the overall win with 2-3 mo to finishes.
