Jarret again holeshot in moto two ahead of
Rytter, K1eames, Hoskin and newcomer Tony
Levezzo. The pack of 60cc machines had a fierce
battle going for the lead, especially between Jarret and Rytter who were out front by now and
leaving a substantial gap. There was no question
Rytter wanted to win as he continued to pressure Janet in the turns. When the white flag
flew, Rytter made a pass on jarret to take the
checkered and the points went to Rytter's dealer/sponsor, Thin Air Motorsports. Jarret finished second. Kleames took third overall,
Ho kin finished fourth, and fifth overall was
jimmy Hazel.

Fourteen-year-old Montesa rider Justin OOkley
beat out Montesa rider Keith Oakley, who just
happens to be his father, in the French Cup Vintage / Beginner Trial at Donner Ski Ranch. The
trial was put on by Darrell johnson.
Justin .nd Keith Oakley are used to riding
against each other, but in a trial like this, every
point counts and justin was ahead of the game,
beating Keith by six points. Before the trial they
lowered the foorpegs on Justin's bike. Obviously
it helped him.
"Hopefully he's on • long road of winning,"
said Keith Oakley.
Winning the event put Justin Oakley in fIr.lt
place for the year-end points standings.
In the Modem Classic Intermediate class it
was close, \vith only one point between the first
three positions. Tom Rawson was on top, tallying only three points for the day. Oose behind
were Ben Mies and Shawn Frailing. each with
four points. The riders finished in a tie, so a rideoff was held at the day's hardest section, section
seven. Riding the most diffi.cu1t line to break the
tie, the two friends rode very well, with Freiting
taking home second place.
The constant battle in the Modern Bike
Advanced class continues with Harold Eigenman blowing away his competition by 18 points.
This trial was held in the memory of the late
Ken M.recak, who died in August.

MtCAlN VALlEY, CA, OCT. 29
A full field of Intermediate B-c1ass riders
showed up to test themselves at the San Diego·
Trials Riders-promoted Great Pumpkin Cup
Trial, held in the Lark Canyon Area of McCain
Valley, and it was Axo Sport/Renthal/Bultaco
Parts Obsolete-sponsored Kevin Reynolds who
rose above the rest. Reynolds, who competes
aboard a Gas Gas jT25, scored the win with 14
points to spare over runner-up Gary Oborn.
Reynolds took control of the le.d from the
get-go, turning in a five-point first loop and at
the same time garnering the class' low-loop
score of the event. Oborn w.s second best with a
10, while Steven Beck was third with a 16.
Reynolds' second loop wasn't as precise, but his
nine-point lap was still head and shoulders
above Oborn's 13. Eventual fourth-place finisher
Martin Argo had a 17, and Sheldon Parker was
close behind with an 18. On the third and final
loop, Reynolds eased up a bit and gave up 10
pomts.
"My loops got worse and worse," admitted
.Reynolds. "On the third loop J was anxious to
finish and start on the long drive home. I took
some points in sections that I cleaned the first
two times, simply because I was too hurried."
Still, Reynolds' 24-point total was enough to
score an easy win over Doom, who had a 15point final loop. Beck had a great final loop,
turning in a seven-point card and nabbing third
overall.
In the Sportsman A division, jim Laudeman
had a flawless afternoon and turned in three
perfect loop cards. Laudeman cleaned all 10 sections three times in a row. James Smith did his
best, but couldn't match Laudeman's perfect
scores. Smith had two-, two- and one-point
loops for a five-point total. Third went to
Jon.than Graham, who dabbed 15 times.
Montesa Cota-mounted Kent Graham topped
the highly competitive Advanced A class, beating out Oli Thordarson. Jim Collins, Brian Longbons and former Bicycle Trials National Champion Kevin orton by the slimmest margins. As
usual, young upstart Steve Varnell did the business in the Advanced B class, dropping only four
more points than A-class winner Graham. Lee
Pennington and Steve's father, Larry V.rnell,
rounded out the top three.

Smith, Venezia hot at
Holeshot Motocross
By Mark Kromer
LINESVILLE, PA, OCT. 21
The racing action was fast and fierce on the cold
and muddy night of October 21, the season
finale at Pymatuming Holeshot R.ceway, as
rival competitors Scott Smith and Michael
Venezia waged war in the Extra Bike and the
Over '25/25Occ Bcombined classes.
Moto one of Extra Bike was won by Venezia,
who led the race wire-to-wire with Smith lurking closely behind. Following Smith were Chris
Horvath, Shawn Leddon, and jay Weeston in
that order.
The second moto once again saw the
holeshot go to Venezia. Smith, wasting no time,
charged out of the pack, setting his sights on
Venezia, who had secured a small lead. The
marginal g.p quickly disintegrated as Smith
was able to up the ante and reel in Venezia.
With both racers evenly matched, the outcome
was uncertain at best, and the win could have
gone to either rider. Eventually Smith unsuc·
cessfully forced the issue and wound up laying
in a sUck and rutted tum with Venezia standing
with a stalled bike. After both riders recovered,
it was Venezia who held on for the win, leaving
Smith to persistently pursue second, passing
five riders.
Smith and Venezia wouJd face off once
again. Though racing in different classes, they
approached the Over '25/2S(Ja: B Combined race
as they wouJd a single class. It was Venezia who
rounded the first tum and led the remainder of
the pack.. The reign was quickly overthrown as
Smith, a 250cc B rider outjumped Venezia and
assumed the lead, where he would remain
despite Venezia's determined efforts.
Venezia suffered a downfall in moto two. as
he fell victim to the muddy track. conditions.
Smith then ran an uncontested race, as the mud·
soaked Venezia was unable to regain composure
and attempt a comeback..

Rayborn rules
Sears Point F-Pac
By Jackie Jouret
SONOMA, CA, OCT. 15
As it has for almost the entire se.son, everything
went Cal Rayborn's way for the final round of
the AFM's Braking Formula P.dfic Challenge.
Cycle Gear- ponsored Rayborn won the race
and succeeded in defending his number-one
plate from the challenge of Rob Mesa. A fall at
Thunderhill meant that Rayborn had to perform
in the final round to prevent Mesa from capturing the crown by virtue of a string of steady second-place finishes. Perform he did, taking the
lead on the first lap and blazing away from the
rest of the field on his ZX-7R.
Mesa was off to a slow start on his
FZR1000 / OW01, and had to work his way clear
of a hectic battle with RS250-mounted Joe Brett
Williams and jeff Leggitt before he could secure
a clear second place from early runner-up
Williams on an RC30. Leggitt himself was
putting Williams under pressure for third, and
looked set to take his first podium fini h of the
season until bike problems relegated him to
fourth. Steve Rapp took fifth on his GSX-RllOO
ahead of Brian Parriott's CBR600.
Parriott also put in a pair of superb rides in
the 600cc classes, splitting wins with Tom Montano in Production and Superbike. In 600cc
Superbike, Montano jumped out to an early
lead, while Parriott headed a pack of six riders
vying for the number-two spot. By the third lap,
Parriott had left them behind ond was right on
Montana's tail. As the two riders worked their
way through traffic, Montano seemed to gain .n
advantage, but Parriott came right back and
finally took the lead with a pass on the brakes in
turn 11. Montano grabbed it b.ck on the next
lap, but Parriott sinlply repeated the move and
held on for the win. Todd Hoeft took third with
a pass on Billy Vassiliou out of the chicane on
the penultimate lap.
The 600cc Superb ike race was the occasion of
another Montano/Parriott duel. Erik Schnackenberg held the lead in the early going, until Montano sliced underneath him in the turn-seven
hairpin. Parriott, meanwhile, was just getting by
Ron Chiaratti Jr. for third, and couldn't pass
Schnackenberg until the final lap. Parriott then
gave chase to Montano, and the two riders exited the final tum side by side. At the checkered
flag, it was Montano by less than a bike lengHi
over Parriott, with Schnackenberg third and
Chiaratti fourth.
Donny Greene took the holeshot and managed to hold off Brian Mork for the win in 750cc
Production. Mark passed several riders at once
with an inside move in. off-camber turn four,
and proceeded to stalk Greene for seven laps,
but was unable to pass him for the lead. Alvin
Chin broke away from a pack of riders to take
third in spectacular, elbow-scraping form.
