SACRAMENTO, CA, SEPT. 17
Bruce Utzig claimed his second win in two outings during the eighth round of the 1995 CMRRA Championship Series at the Prairie City
OHV road course.
Supersport superpower Ken Takeda got the
holeshot to lead the field into tum one. Utzig
quickly closed in behind the hard-charging
Takeda to measure his opponenfs strengths and
weaknesses for the first lap around Prairie Oty's
Perimeter course. Both riders swept through
tum four immediately establishing a small gap
on the field and serving notice that this would
be a two-rider battle for the lead. Driving hard
into the corkscrew, Utzig made his first probe to
Takeda's defenses with an inside move. Takeda
shut the door and denied Utzig the pass.
As both riders swept through the final chicane before the straight away, Utzig mounted
his second attack with an early drive and drafted Takeda down the straight. Moving up
through Takeda's sUpstream, Utzig realized that
he had the momentum to carry himself past the
leader and slipped to the inside of fast·
approaching turn one to seal his bid for the lead.
Takeda attempted to repel Utzig's pass by
driving deep into tum one on an outside line,
but could not head off Utzig in the horseshoe.
Utzig dashed througb the stadium chicane with
Takeda glued to his tail sectiol' planning to
avenge Utzig's turn-one pass. For three laps,
Takeda stayed in touch with Utzig and planned
a counterattack that would develop in the later
stages of the race. Utzig was aware of Takeda's
presence and turned up the heat. His lap times
plummeted as he ran full bore to clear himself
from Takeda's grasp, and within three laps he
established a two-bike-Iength lead that he would
hold to the finish.
While heading down the straightaway on
the seventh lap, Takeda took a quick look back
to assure himself that third-placed Tim Rush
was not threatening, and settled for a secure second. Brian Harp held down fourth ahead of Art
Martinez.

Jasso Storms To Horn
Rapids Motocross Wins
By Larry Trevino
RICHLAND, WA SEPT. 17, 1995
Rolul lasso ran two practically flawless motos en
route to winning the 12Sec Beginner clas and
went 4-1 to take the overall win in the Combined Beginner class at Hom Rolpids ORV Park.
In moto one of the l2Scc class, lasso took his
Yamaha to an impressive holeshot as he started
at the very end of the gate, then turned flat
tracker and went wide in tum one and never
looked back. Honda's Eric Loomis, Kawasaki's
Kevin Searl, and Lance Hilker on his Suzuki followed. As Jasso was running away with the race
Loomis and Searl were battling for second. On
lap th.ree Searl secured second. Loomis held on
for third as Hilker finished fourth.
Moto two saw Loomis taking the holeshot
over Jasso, Hilker, and Honda's Larry Trevino.
For the first two laps all four kep pace with
each other as they battled through the whoops
and jumps of the sandy track. On lap three lasso
took the iead and rode to an eight-second win
over Loomis. Hilker and Trevino were a close
third and fourth.
In moto one of the Combined class Oregon's
Cory Hardy took his Honda to the win, but not
before a crash that took out the leaders. Second
and third went to Honda's Matthew Sakach and
Ryan Helms, and fourth went to a hard-charging Raul Jasso.
. Moto two saw lasso do the same thing as he
ctid in the 125cc class, going wide in tum one
and saying goodbye to the rest of the field. The

Harts, Damron dominate
Lodi Double Header .
By Donna Hall
LOD~ CA, OCT. 1
Rob Damron and the Hart brothers, Don and
Danny, proved they were up to the challenge of
a double header - IT and short track - at Lodi's
Cycle Bowl.
The Open Money Race saw Damron take a
wire-to-wire win while Danny Hart and Don
Hart took second and third. The Hart boys tried
every line they could but failed to find a way
around Damron. The Short Track Pro-Am
Expert race was a replay of the IT, but with a
swap of the brothers: Don Hart was second
while Danny was third.
Lodi day races are notorious for the dry,
slick conditions that exist and many found that
the ride was much different than a niglit race.
The racing was certainly different, but very
interesting.
The Open Novice Short Track was one of the
largest races of the day, having two heat races.
The victor of the main, with a great holeshot,
was Richard Gillian. Hotly contested was the
race for second. Coming from sixth to finish sec·
ond was Yuniko HiTao. Rick Garcia made it a bit
difficult for Hirao, but H.irao prevailed and took
second while Garcia was third.
Vet Expert Main belonged to Matt Gomez,
and it was a much-needed win for this racer.
Bob McDonnell was second and Dan Feldhaus
third.
. Short Track Vintage Novices saw Billy Hiles
put his front wheel to the white line for the first
tim.e ever. Hiles will campaign a 25-year-old
250cc Champion-framed Yamaha. He didn't win
but he sure tried. The win went to Aaron Osco
on a 250cc Kawasaki.
Steve Hall did his hole hot-runaway business in the Open B IT, a wire-to-wire win for
Hall on a 450cc Honda.
