physical stamina on the part of Allen proved to be
the winning formula as he went on to win both
motos over 125cc class winner David Hughes.
Tim Olson was unstoppable in the 125cc
Novice class and even a bad start in moto two
couldn't hold him back from a double-moto
sweep of the class. Joey Cirocco was the runner
up in both motos in his first race in over two
years while Neil Alonzo, Kaipo Chung and john
Nelson rounded out the top five.

Wardy whips Perris
ByTonyA....1
PERRIS, CA, JUNE 17
Wardy? Who, jeft Ward? Thafs right! jeft Ward
came out of retirement and showed the local
Perris pros who's still the boss by posting a double-moto romp of the combined Pro dass during
the second of two GFt Mammoth Mountain
warm"up races held at Perris Raceway.
jeff Ward looked like he hasn't lost any
speed since his retirement by running away
with both combined Pro motos. British rider
Mark Broadbelt was the fast starter of the day
and led both motos, but a bad case of forearm
pump held him back late in each of the two 15lap motos.
In the end it was all Ward while Stan
Chomer and Willy Musgrave were the next
fastest with Chomar winning the 125cc class and
Musgrave the 30+ division.
Mark Allen, David Hughes and 'Raymond
Bowers banged heads in the 250cc intermediate
ranks throughout both motos. in the end better
"Rocket" Rex melts
Mammoth Motocross
By Kyle C. Parsons
MAMMOTH LAKFS, CA, JUNE 17-18
The Over The Hill Gang had two days of doubt
as the snow fell before the scheduled start of the
Old Timers World Championships at the Mammoth Mountain Ski area. But while other riders
abandoned the event, "Rocket" Rex Staten
slayed to greet the bright sunshine on Saturday
morning and dominate the Over The Hill Gang
Pro class.
Staten grabbed the first-moto holeshot pursued by Mark White, Terry Fowler, Michael
johnson and Chuck Sun. As the pack headed up
the famous Mammoth uphill, the 500s of Slaten
and White pulled slightly on the Husabergs of
Fowler and Sun, johnson, on a potent 250, was
able to keep the big bores in sight as they
approached the Mammoth downhill. White
tried frantically to keep the very fast Staten in
sight, but by the third lap, Staten had managed
to pull out a lO-second lead, leaving White to
fend off a hard-eharging Fowler.
Back in the pack, Sun had come under attack
from Robert Weber, Mark Nason, Val Tamietti
and Mike Bosworth. The 1980 500cc National
Champion put up a fight but was unable tp keep
the foursome behind him as tbe race wore on.
With three laps remaining, Fowler had pulled
up to challenge White for second place, making
his move on the back straight. Coming into the
berm at the end of the straight, Fowler came in
low on White, forcin.g White to take evasive
action that allowed Fowler to pass. Fowler then
got up a full head of steam and started to close
in on Staten, but time would run out before he
could challenge for the lead, and the checkered
flag fell for the first-moto winner, Staten. Moto
two was a carbon copy of the first with Staten
gelling the holeshot and running away with the
win.
By Sunday the track had completely dried,
and conditions were perfect. When the gate fell
for the first Pro moto, a revitalized White pulled
the holeshot with Staten, Fowler, johnson and
Weber in pursuit. For the entire race, White and
Staten diced, leaving Fowler to contend with
johnson, Weber and Bosworth. By the last la,p,
Staten had closed to within striking distance and
was pressuring White, hoping for a mistake. As
the two rounded the tum before the Mammoth
Freeway, White cross-rutted, hilling a tree and
allowing Staten by with only one turn remaining. White remounted but not before Fowler was
able to get around for second place. The second
moto was another carbon copy of the first two
motos on Saturday, wifh Staten taking the win
and the overall for the weekend. Sun, who was
also riding the Support class with Ty Davis, had
opted not to race the final Pro moto of the day in
order to preserve himself as he gets his racing
legs back underneath him.

Murdoch acomet
at Starwest Motocross
By David A_ Procida
MORENO VALLEY, CA, JUNE 17
Damn Murdoch has picked up his pace at the
last couple of races in the Starwest Toyota
Truck/KTM 50 Giveaway Series and has taken
home his share of first-place trophies in the last
couple of weeks. Tonight was no exception.
Murdoch combined two moto wins together
to take the overall in the hotly contested 12Sec
Beginner class. Steven Fox rocketed out of the
gate to lead the pack into the horseshoe-shaped
start area. A bobble by the Team Aggravator
rider in the apex left a pile of riders in the first
tum, with Fox on the bottom:,..
Murdoch took over the point position with
the familiar Honda of Nathan Craig close
behind. Craig was pressuring Murdoch, sticking
a wheel in on the leader at every opportunity,
but the Mad Marks Motorcycle-sponsored Murdoch was sticking to all the good lines and not
budging an inch.
As tbe pair hit the front straightaway, Murdoch was doubling the combined tabletop/double jump while Craig elected to single
the tabletop and the following jump. This was
where Murdoch was able to pull away from
Craig, but Craig made up the distance by going
faster through the esses and would be all over
Murdoch as they entered the infield. Murdoch
and Craig crossed the line in first and second,
respectively.
Moto two saw Dino Reger grab the holeshot
this time with Murdoch in tow. The Suzuki rider
held onto the lead as the pair rode through the
infield section of the course. But when Murdoch
pulled alongside of Reger, heading for the Uturn before the big backfield tabletop jump,
Reger grabbed too much throttle and overshot
the tum.
Murdoch wasn't about to look a gift horse in
the mouth, and he took the lead and ran. Craig
was right behind him as Reger rejoined the race
in third, ahead of justin Gutierrez and Raymond
Carvalho.
Murdoch was enjoying a comfortable lead
and cruised home to the moto win as Dias, who
had charged through the pack after a bad start,
followed him past the checkers in second.
