DeGroot looked ultra smooth in moto one on his
Kawasaki. But lap after lap, Ezerins ga ined
ground on his pursuers. He finished both motos
with a 35-plus-second lead . Ken Masch settled
for third with 4-3 finishes. Robb Degroot was
fourth overall.
The 250cc class wa s a lso a walkaway for
Ezerins. In the second moto, Doug Forstn er,
aboard a Yamaha, grabbed the holeshot, but
three comers later he was nabbed by Ezerins
and t he res t wa s h istor y: anoth er win for
Ezerins. By the fifth lap , a hard-charging Jim
Holmes w as on the heels of seco nd-placed
For stner, w ho bobbled over th e whoops and
could n' t ga ther enough speed ove r the double.
Holmes breezed past the tiring Forstner whi le
th e thousand spectato rs chee red for him; he
was flying farth er than any other rider on the
double. Holmes should have garnered second
overall. bu t he'd opted to sit out moto number
one, so the pla ce went to Forstner with his 2-3
finishes.

Ezerins wa s one one two riders to claim
do ub le-class victories, the other being Chris
Heyrman, whose flawless riding helped him
cruise to victories in Masters and Vet A. Heyrma n, on a 94'Suzuki RM250~ scored four moto
wins, riding sm oo th ly and cautiously with no
problems conquering the thick mud early in the
day. It was all Heyrman from start to finish in
Vet A. Tim Miller grabbed second ove rall with a
2-2 finish.

BRIDGEHAMPTON, NY, MAY 7.
John Franco held off all challengers to claim the
Vet Expert ove rall victory with a pair of mota
wins at the Bridgehampton MX.
Rich Caeeavano cha sed, then moved alongside of Franco in the initial stage of moto one. As
the lead pair cleared the Hidden Valley tabletop
on lap two, Caccavano came to a screeching halt.
One key ingredient had been forgotten - enough
gas to finish the moto! With the press ure off,
Franco pushed the cruise-control button. The racing action then centered on Jeff Stempel, wh o
had mo ved into second place, with Joe Merrill
an d Rick Fatigate making a go at it 10 claim the
second place honors. The molo ended with Fran co alone in first, Stempel hanging on in second,
and Merrill earning the third-place finish.
Franco and Merrill kicked off moto two, battling for the lead, but Merrill gave up his bid for
the point when he lost it over a d oub le jum p.
Stem pel thr ottled his way into second as Fatigate an d Caccavano banged bars for third-place
hono rs. The Orient Express/ Answer/ Spectro/
Oakle y-backed Franco proved to be the fastest of
the Vet class as he nailed his second mota win.
Stempe l claim ed the second spot, and Fatigate
completed the top three.
After losing the first 12See Ama teur moto to
Brian Berry aboard his Manchester Honda, Eric
Flagg rebounded to take the 125 and 250ccAmateur class ove rall wins on his South Fork-backed
