Conley takes command at Grattan Road Race By Jackl Fisher AHRIIA/V'mtage Iron National Motocross Series: Rnal Round Avintage finale By Bill Spencer HOLlISTER, CA, OCT. 2]-22 F It') 0\ 0\ ...... u) ...... .... ~ "S ~ ~ z 30 ormer AJS factory pilot Doug Grant finally had his shining moment under the sun at the Hollister Hills SVRA as the Santa Clara Riders Unlimited presented the final round of the AHRMA/ Vintage Iron National Motocross Series. "Of all the races I have done in the past, this has to be ~ne of my best moments," Grant said after winning race three for the 40+ and 50+ Expert classes. "I have had so much fun getting back into the racing bit, but I have to get home and see what my wife has in store for me. She's about to produce our third child." Grant led from the first tum of the GP track and held nothing back as he easily defeated Dick "Bugsy" Mann, who went on to win the 50+ division. "I'm okay for a few laps," Mann said. "But these kids are too good." Also racing were two-time World Motocross Champion and AHRMA Executive Director Jeff Smith, Jody Nicholas, Dusty Coppage, Russ Powell and Buck Murphy. Smith sewed up another National championship in the 50+ class despite the presence of rival Hugh Weaver, who came all the way from New York to try to dethrone him. Smith put together a 3-5 score for the title after Mann easily won the class. "When we wrote the rules," Mann said, "we didn't write a 60+ class despite the fact that both Jeff and I are 61 years old. Weaver finished second overall with a 2-3 score, with Danny Davies being the spoiler in the second moto after finishing second to Mann. Bill McClinton also diced it up with the the two, finishing fourth in both motos. Weaver's son, Tim Weaver, had a good day, winning both motos in the 125cc Sportsman Expert division and claiming a National title over Chris Radzinski and Ty Erquiaga. A long distance award could have gone to Alan Woods, who traveled from Oldham, Lancashire, England to win the 125 and 250cc Sportsman Intermediate classes. Dick Mann (5) pulled out the victory In the 50+ c.... during the final round of the AHRMANlntage Iron NatIonal Motocross 5erles at the HoUIster Hills SVRA. Vintage Iron sponsor Rick Doughty topped the Premier 500cc Expert class on his 1962 BSA Gold Star 500, taking both moto wins over Mike Atkins, and Pete Cruttenden, who beat out Pete Ford in the last moto for third. On hand for interviews were Brad Lackey, who had intended to ride but was held up by an ailing back, Jim Odom, Bob Swanson, Donny Castro and Jim Pomeroy. 1'N Results SPTSMN 250 EX: 1.

His early lead didn't deter Castrol's Glen Paron. Three times during the race, Paron challenged Conley in the high-speed turn one. TZ-250 mounted Paron was carrying more come.r speed by taking the wide line which enabled him to get around Conley's 600. Each time, Conley would then outbrake Paron going into tum two, diving under him on the inside to regain the lead. Conley barely beat Paron for the win. leaving Paron in second and a hard-charging Evans Motorsports Britt Evans close behind in thircl For the combined Expert/ Amateur Heavyweight Superbike race, Conley again made a great start but was hounded by season rival Pro Motorsport's Shawn Conrad. On the third lap, a straightaway crash brought out the red flags. CCS officials decided to re-grid the riders according to their last completed lap positions and resume the race at the halfway point. Conley, on the pole, got the holeshot again. Conrad threatened, but didn't have enough time to catch Conley, who was turning low 27s on his way to his second win of the day. Conley claimed his third victory in the Expert Middleweight Superbike class. Again turning the fastest times in the race, Conley had two shadows this time - Learning Curves' Dave Doe and Britt Evans. Neither could catch Conley or match his times. Doe and Evans started dicing. and with three laps to go, Evans made his move securing second behind Conley. while Doe settled for the disappointing third. Team Chicago's Steve Karson held a race-long fourth place to the finish line. . Results EX SOU) GTU: 1. Ken Krebs (){aw); 2. Owen Weichel (Kaw); J. Bnan Conley (Hon); 4. jason Wen«l (Hon); 5.
