OPEN S& 1. Lewis, Perolio grab CRC cash at LACR Motocross By Greg Robertson PALMDALE, CA,SEPT. 16 Kyle Lewis and Shaun Perolio scored the 250cc a nd 125cc Pro-class wins, respectively, to take ho me the lion's share of cash during Cali fornia Racing Club' s 300% Pro payback n igh t at Los Angeles County Raceway . Lewis made his intentions clea r by getti ng around fast-starter Ryan Carlisle on the opening lap of the first 250cc Pro moto. Fro m that p o in t on t he Team N ol een / Siz zl e r / T RE/ Bridgestone-backed Lewis st re tched out his lead all the way to the finis h. Jeff Willoh rai led around Carlisle to push him back, to t hi rd . Terry Parsons also got around Carlisle a nd then pressured Willoh to make him work for his second-place finish. Willoh edged out Lewis for the seco nd-moto holeshot, but Lewis had control with the first circuit completed. Lewis p ut his foo t down wro ng, causing some pain and temporary slowing, which allowed Willoh to shoot back into the lead . Lewis was quickly back up to speed and was all over Willoh. A couple of laps later, Lewis squared off under Willo h a nd won th e drag race to the following tu m to grab the lead . Willoh stayed within striking di sta nce all the way to the checkered flag. Parsons took a close third ahead of Carlisle and Tony Sulek. The first 125cc Pro moto sta rt belonged to Willoh with Perolio right on hi s rea r fend er. Pe rolio would sta y clos e to Willoh the entire mota, waiti-:,g for a mi stake that never ha ppened. Parson came from a d ead-last start to stuff Sulek in a tu m just prior to the white flag to finish third . Perolio led Su lek, Willoh and Parsons t hrough the firs t t urn as the final moto got underway. Willoh high-sided in the second tum a nd had to p ick h imself up in las t place . Up fron t, Perolio had his han ds full with both Sulek and Parsons, but picked up the pace and pu lled to a three-second advanta ge a t th e halfwa y point. WHloh wa s cutting so me fas t laps an d soon joi ned Sulek and Parsons to mak e it a three-way bat tle for second place. Perolio made it look easy, takin g the secondmo to win with five secon ds to spare. Sulek and Wilioh got a little too close on the fjnallap, with Sulek goi ng down . Parsons and Willoh diced all the way to the finish, wit h Parsons coming out on top for second. Resulla P/W8-2: 1. Wee Hk b {Yam ); 2. Eddie Woodard (Suz) . P / W B·l : 1. A ro n To mOla (Yam) ; 2.

Dupree devastates Barona Oaks Motocross By Homer Eubanks RAMONA, CA,SEPT. 17 John Dupree and David Pelton provided plenty of Sideways excitement at the Darona Racewa y Short Track. Equally as impressive was Brad Holt, who dominated the 250cc action. Dupree wa s ca ugh t off gua rd in the main and allowed first-heat winner Rick Schroeder to take the early lead. Dupree stu d ied Schroed er' s lines for three laps before d ecid ing he would have to make a hard charge insi de to take the lead . Once Dupree had the lead, Schroeder found himself in another heated battl e with Pelton , who took second place. Pelton closed in on Dupree , but it wa s Dupree at the chec ke red flag. Holt came into the 250cc main alread y heated up after a wire--to-wire win in the hea t race. The main event was to be a repeat for Holt, who performed flawlessly, leading the charge in to tu m one and never looking back. Shawn Ireland moved around four riders to take second bu t couldn't make a challenge on Ho lt, who was nowhere in sight. PALMDALE, CA,SErf. 18 Th e California Racing Club's 125cc Begin ner class will pr obably breathe a sigh of relief whe n Tyler Buck makes the mov e to the Novice class, as the Suz u ki RMI2 5 p ilot p icked up an oth er win via a 2-1 tally d ur ing Sun d ay motocross racing at Los Angeles County Racewa y. Trav is Smith blas ted his YZI25 into the earl y fir st -mote lea d . Buck ga te d second w ith Joe Barker, Jamie Pamintuan and Zach Bobeta running th ird th rou gh fifth . Bobeta mad e qu ick work of Barker and Pa min tua n to mo ve up to third. Bobeta started pus hing Buck and the two of them reeled in Smith to ma ke it a three-rider braw l for the top spo t. Bob e ta go t a ro u nd Buck a nd was putting serious pressu re on Smith until he got sideways comi ng ou t of a corn er and shot off the track. Buck inherited second p lace and p icked up the s lac k to close to Smith ' s rear wheel. Bob e ta jump ed bac k on th e track ju st behind thi rdplaced Kevin Townse nd , and the two of them qu ickly cau ght the two front-ru nners. The last couple of laps were anybod y' s race, as Smith , Buck, Townsend and Bobeta were all over each other in a sp rint to the finish. Smith ended up coming out on top just a couple of feet ah ead of Buck, who was an equal d istance ahead of Bobeta and Townsend. Smith duplica ted his first-mote start to lead Buck and Townsend as mo to two bega n. Buck stud ied Smith' s lines for a little over a lap before making his move into the lead . Smith tried to stic k with Buck, but the smooth-riding Buck, sp ons o red b y Suzuki of O xnard, grad ually pulled awa y to the tune of a five-second advantage at the chec kered flag. The dice for second lasted the entire moto, with Smith holding off Townsend for a welt-deserved secon d in the mo ta and second overall. Bast Jr. were righ t there knocking on the doo r wi th eight poin ts each. Robert Curry and Vance Felicio each had six, p utting them in third. II looked as if the cham pi onsh ip would be d ecid ed in event 17, wh en Sisemore a nd Bast faced off for the only time during the competi tion . But tha t was not to be, as fate stepped in and ch an ged the p icture. In the las t ev en t of round fo u r, Pa t Linn we n t w id e and hit the fence, taking out Sise more in the process. Linn scored one point and Sisemo re ended up ea rning a zero for the round, which wou ld make it very d ifficult to catch Bast. When Sisemore a nd Bast faced off in heat 17, thefans were on the edges of their seats . If Sisemore could pull off the win and Bast finished last , th e rid ers would be tied. Sisemore came off the line like a rocket to take the ea rly lead . Bast w as abl e to get alon gsid e but was n ev er abl e to compl e te the pass. Sisemore crosse d th e lin e firs t for th e w in and three poin ts, but Bast was right there to finis h second and clinch th e vict ory. "My winn ing tonight had partly to do with my good and Jimmy's (Sise mo re) bad luck," Bast said . "We shou ld hav e gone into that final event wit h a tied score and then seen who came away with the win. " With the last-round w in, Sisemore had put himself into a three-way tie with Darrell Busby and Robert C u rry fo r second place with 12 points each . The three riders lined up yet again to decide who woul d sit alone in second place. A very determined Sisemore took the holeshot and led the race from the gate to checkered flag. Curry finis hed seco nd giving h im third in the overall standings . Results CSHJP:. 1. Bart Bast; 2 Jim Sille'mO~ 3. RobertCurry; 4. DarI't'll Busby; S. Harlan aut Jr. D-2: 1. ctwd Fdicio; 2.
