SACRAMENTO, CA; MAR. 24-25
oug Dubach was the 'man to beat
when round one of the CMC/
Sunstar Sprockets Spring Classic
Series made its indoor debu tat the
American Suzuki Arco Arenacross presented by On -Trac Events .
Factory contingencies and a generous
$10,000 purse attracted many top pros
from across the Western United States,
including the former Yamaha facto ry
pilot Dubach and recently crowned
AMA National Arenacros s Champion
Jimmy Gaddis.
The Jim Holley-designed track was
tight and fast, allowing many po sition
changes and providing the over 10,000
fans present an excellent show on both
nights.
Friday night 's 12S cc main e ve n t
opened with Michael Brandes taking
the holeshot over Florida transplant
Anthony Pocorobba and Gaddis. Bran de s' lead did not last , however, as he
crashed hard in the whoop section early
in the race, allowing Poc orobb a a n d
Gaddis by . Gaddis pressured Pocorobba for se ver a l laps a n d th e m om ent
Pocorobba left the door open, Gaddis
made the pa ss. Pocorobb a stayed close,
though, and was able to resum e th e
point po sition when Ga d d is tangled
with a lapper just after th e halfway
mark. Gaddis was qu ickly back up to
speed and hounding the lead er, but
Pocorobba was unfazed .
"Once I got back around Gaddis, I
concentrated on relaxing and riding my
own race," said Pocorobba.
Pocorobba finished first, followed by
Gaddis and Dean Matson.
In 2S0cc action; Dubach recovered
from a la ckluster perform ance in the
12Scc main and ga te d second behind
Matson. Dubach applied steady pressure on Matson and wa s eventua lly able
to slip by.
"I got a good start and bided my time
for the right moment to make m y
move," Dubach said.
Dubach took the win over Matson
and Pat Bennett.
