line for the lead. Frehe nailed down second with
Cathy Reilly claiming third and McCarty assuming fourth. Clark was again able to control the
pace of the field until the fast, four-racer &eight
train ran into lapped traffic. McCarty refused to
settle for fourth and two laps later made a textbook pass on Reilly to grab third as they entered
the horseshoe.
On the next lap Clark was frustrated by a
slower rider in the horseshoe tum at the end of
the straight and gave the lapped rider some extra
room, effectively killing her drive through the ern.

and after establi5hi.ng an early drive out of the stadium chicane, she successfully made a bid for the
lead with an inside pass on the chicane's exit
heading out onto the fast tum-four sweeper. For
Clark, the cat was out of the bag. and all she could
do was try to stay in touch with the new leader
and protect second place from McCarty. In the
battle for fifth, Douglas and Barb Landry were
dicing back and forth while they charged al'Olind

and made a pa s tick in the tum-one horseshoe
only to have Douglas snag the position back
through the chicane.
Once Frehe had a dear track, she took advantage by stretching out a lead to take the win followed by Clark, who held the advantage over
McCarty. Reilly brought home fourth with Dou/lIas fifth and Landry si>.1h.

Being in the right place at the right time, and a
little misfortune on his competition's part,
enabled Kevin O'Brien to walk away with the
125cc Novice-class overall honors during the
opening round of the California Racing Club's
annual Trophy Series at Los Angeles County
Raceway.
Billy Lavorci nailed the first-moto holeshot
over Kevin Townsend, Mike Gibson and Alvin
Zalamea. Gibson quickly got around Townsend
and latched on to the back fender of Lavorci. The
next few laps saw Gibson showing Lavorci his
front fender at every opportunity before outdragging him down a whooped-out straight to grab
the lead. Townsend was next to make a move,
shooting past Lavorci while coming down off the
over-and-under jump to move into second place
with one lap remaining.
Townsend overshot a tum on the last circuit
and quickly went from second to fifth place.
Lavorci dosed back in on leader Gibson to make a
close finish. O'Brien, who had slowly been working up through the field, kept the throttle on
longer down the back strajght to overtake
Zalamea for third at the checkered fiag while Gibson took the win. I.avorci proved quickest 'off the line in moto
two, but tried a no-footer off the big infield double
jump and proceeded to overshoot the following
tum, handing Gibson the lead. Lavorci ...-entered
the track in second just ahead of O'Brien and
Zalamea. Lavord studied Gibson's lines for a cOU
pie of laps before stuffing him at the base of the
over-and-under jump to retake the lead. A second·moto win by either Lavore or Gibson would
sew up the overall, as the two riders pulled away
from the field.
But with just over a lap remaining, Lavore
lost his front end in a high-speed sweeper and
went down hard. Gibson was too close to avoid
Lavorci and plowed right into him. O'Brien.
motored past the downed front-runners 10 win
the mota and overall honors. Townsend came all
the way from a ninth-place start to finish second.
Gibson got up and going again to take third and
second overall.
Jerod Pederson got around fast starter Scott
Minster oli the opening lap of the first 125cc
Beginner molO only to go down a lap later and
hand the lead back to Minster. Pederson came
back from a lQ-second deficit after his crash to
repass Minster and easily pull away for the win.
Dave Riley put in a great ride coming from a 14thplace start to get around Charles Cook with two
laps left to take third.
A bobble by Minster in the whoops on the first
lap of moto two erased his holeshot advantage
and allowed Pederson to shoot past. Pederson
continued on uncontested for the second-moto
wiT\. The battle for second lasted the entire molo
and went down to the wire, with Minster finishfN
ing a wheel ahead of Chad Neal and Riley.
