By Malcolm Wood
OKLAHOMA em,OK. APR I

shortly. But Brassfield was quickly consumed by
the Team Kawasaki /Fox-backed KX of Reynard,

Rid ers as well as spect ato rs focused on the
pair as they led the field with an awesom e aerial
assault on the jump-filled track. Reynard rod e to
a mi stake-free win in both th e 125 and 250cc
Expert classes via four moto wins, w ith Palmer
finis hing second overall in both classes .

Temmerman, Handelin and Oark.
Jorgensen got the jum p on the start of mote
two , only th is time it was Handelin putting on
the p ressure as Clark. Hersh ey and Temmerman
closed in. By lap three , Temmerman ha d worked
his wa y past Hersh ey and started gainin g on the
leader s. As they settled in to th eir respective
paces, the moto ended with Jor gen sen taki ng
another win. Temmerman, Han delin, Clark and
Hers hey finish ed secon d thro ugh fifth .
Moto th ree was pretty much a repe at of the
second, as the top five fast guys spread out. This
time Hersh ey and Clark du ked it out for awhile
befor e Clark gave up on lap seven, allowing
Hers hey to slip by for four th behin d Handelin,
Temmerman and winn er Jorgensen. By the end
of the d ay Sat urd ay th e ov erall loo ked lik e a

Sunday morning started with moto four, and
Steve Mah cado led the wa y with a su rp rise
ho le shol. H e would h old onto the lead for
almost tw o laps before overju m pin g a sho rt
dou ble and crashing. Quick to take advantage of
Machado's zealous but disaste rous attempt to
ho ld onto the lead was Temmerman who moved
into first with Jorgensen and Hershey right on
his rear wheel. Jorgensen finally put a move on
Temmerman to take over the lead , and the mota
ended with Jorgen sen taking the win followed
by Temmerm an, Handelin, He rshey and Clark.
As the fifth and fina l moto took off it was
Hersh ey pulling off a five -seco nd lead ri ght

Temrn erman, Jorgensen, Machado and Hand elin
sli1labout 10 seconds back. Jorgensen wasted no
tim e ge tti ng arou nd Tem me rma n on lap two

three an d motored off to an un cont ested lead.
The moto end ed with Jorgensen taking his fifth
win in five rnotos, followed by Temmerma n,
He rshey, Hande lin and Machad o.

8N-moto format. with Pearce and Trapper McDaniel in pursuit. Rosa pulled away from the pack slightly
down the backstretch, while Pearce made short
work of Dupree's Honda on the wide, fast
groove and set his sights on the leader.
(Top) Paul Lynch (19) powers away from
MIke McKee (99) and Tom Skethway (4) en
route to the 600cc A class win at Trail-Way
Speedway. (Above) Rick Pearce powered
away from the pack to earn the Open
Expert win at the Adelanto Short Track.
After several laps looking both inside and
outside for a way 10 pa ss Rosa, Pearce settled on
an outside line and used his horsepower advantage to pull away from Rosa.
Beaumont Yamaha's Rick Reed led the SOOc
Pros in the middle of the pack, chased by Gary
Davis and Rick Rockhold. Davis was pushing
Reed fo r the entire main o n a little 350cc
Honda, but it just didn 't have the guts for a
pass on the tacky clay. Pearce continued to inch
away from Rosa. who had both Dupree and
McDaniel on his tail to the flag. Reed held off
Davi s by a bike length for the 500cc win with
Rockh old in tow .
Pearce wa sted. no time in the second race,
ju m p ing out ahead of McDaniel, Ro sa and
Davi s. McDaniel slipped to th ird as Rosa went
by to hammer on Pearce while Davis gave a bit
of a demonstration of his job as movie stu nt
coordinator, catching McDaniel's rear wheel and
doing a triple somers au lt into the tum three
haybales. Davis had his bell rung pretty good
and was too sketchy 10continue.
Pearce led the re start followed by Rosa,
McDa niel and Dupree when Rosa slipped out
into the turn one marbles, lett ing both riders
by and dropping to the back of t he pack.
Pea rce left th e others to settle up for ~eco n d as
McDa niel was dropped to fourth, passed by
both Dupree and a charging Rosa . A s the
white flag waved, Rosa tried an inside pass
on Dupree only to se e Dupree square the
comer and head for the inside, leaving Rosa in
a slo w lowside and on the ground. Pearce
took the flag · with a half a straightaway
cushion, followed by Dupree. McDaniel, Reed
and Rockhold.
