Breach, Bernardino best Old Timers Motocross By Greg Robertson PALMDALE, CA, AUG. 20 Los Angeles County Racewa y p layed host to a special Sa turday n igh t mot ocros s pro gr a m invo lving the Old Timers MX Association and the Ov er The Hill Gang MX Club. Bob Breach too k top honors in th e Old Timers Am ateur ranks wh ile Dan Bernardino fought his wa y up thro u gh th e OTHG Nov ices to sweep b oth motos. Fred Kalmick led every inch of the first Old Time rs Amateur race. John Flanders ga ted second a n d w ith in a lap wa s being dogged by Chu ck Rowe and Breach . The three-way battle for seco nd las ted nearly the en tire 2o-minute moto. Breach came ou t ahead in the do gfight and pu t a grea t last-lap charge to close wi thi n striking distance of Kaimick when the checkers waived . Breach nail ed th e second ·moto ho les ho t again st a field o f larger bikes. Kalmick ran a close seco nd with Rowe in his shadow. Breach could do no w rong, bu ildin g on his lead with each lap and taking the convincing second -mota w in wit h 20 seconds to spare . Kalmick cruised across the line in second followed by Rowe and Bill Lombard. Fred Thiel jum ped out ta an early lead in the opening OTIlG Novice mo ta. Clemen t Moore started pres su ring Thiel as Danny Herringt on. M ORENOV ALLEY, CA, AUG. 20 Mike Cinqma rs set his goals in the U.s . Suzukisponso red Ford Truck Giveaway Series at Starwest Supercross Park, an d tha t was to ma ke a na me for himself in the 125cc Novice class while winning the series ov e ra ll. He acco mplished both and also becam e the ride r with the most ove rall wins in the series. Cinqmars dominated both motos of the oneeighth-liter land rockets on the final nigh t of the series. In moto one. he grabbed a clean holeshot with Mark Tilley hot on his heels. Mike Gibson and Tony Gree n were only a hea rtbeat behi nd as the pac k headed for the back straightaway . As the laps we re com p le ted, the top two positions rema ined a tossu p. Tilley was on the gas, never letting Cinqmars out of his grasp yet neve r getti ng the chance to make a pass. Green, however, had d ifferent ideas as he slipped by Gibson and closed on Tilley late in the mota . But time ran out before Green was able to mount a cha rge against the Suzuki rider and Green settled for thi rd . Gibson came home in fo urt h ahead of David Martinez to round out the top five slots. It wa s Cinqmars' Ho nd a pulling ahea d of ev er yo ne d ow n the sta rt straight to gra b the holeshot in the second moto. Martinez gated better this moto and was riding in Cinqmars' shadow wi th Tilley, Green a nd Adam Pierce in the lead group. As Cinqmars began to pull away from the pack, the bat tle for second be gan to heat up . Tilley found him self be tween a pair of green 1255. The trio freigh t trained aro un d the tight, twisting "Snake Pit" and battled do wn the back straightaway, one rider never pu lling more than a few feet aw ay from tile other two . The ba ttle con tinued throug h the latter ha lf of the mot o and remained constant until the w hi te flag came out . As the group headed for the "Sna ke Pit," Green was in possessio n of the insid e line, a nd a frustra ted Martinez do ve in on Gree n in a pass a ttempt that d idn 't quite go as planned . Green had nowhere to go, and the two collid ed at the apex of the tum and went do wn in a pile. Tilley took advantage of this, as d id Pierc e, before Green or Martinez cou ld get un tangled. Green w as u p a nd u n derwa y fir st and managed to hold onto fourth while Martin ez followed suit in fifth. This gave the overall to Cinq mars and left Tilley in the runner-up slpt, wi th Green, Pierce and Martinez rounding out the tap five. Results 60 (6-8) : 1. Chris Nihan (KoIw); 2.
