Everyo ne expected the first moto to be hotly
contested, but McAlister had a different idea . By
the end of the second lap, the 27·year-old McAlister stormed into the lead and simply ran away.

CASTAIC. CA, DEC. 10
Billy "Boy " Payne made h is comebac k a fte r
nearly a year ou t of action by posti ng a dou ble
moto swee p of the 80cc Expert class duri ng the
final rou nd of the sse Winter Warm u p series at
Castaic Lake MX.
"I broke my leg d u ri ng th e Go ld en State
series in January. then again at Mammoth in
jun e," Payne said . "I have missed all the ama teu r nationals this year. I am jus t starting to feel
good again."
Payne felt good and looked good too as he
ran aw ay w ith both 80cc Ope n motes, topping
futur e mini cham p Jonathan Shim p, who is now
riding ~h e new H onda mini rocket.
J.J. Bonann o was im p res sive in th e 80cc
Nov ice di vi sion aboa rd h is O'Neal-backed
Yama ha and d efeat ed arch riv al Brian H ulsey
du ring both motos of competition .
Mike Alessi posted a fou r-moto sweep of the
SOcc Open and 60cc (0-18) d iv isions, and finished a respectable fifth overall in his first BOec
race aboard his new Suzuki. Chad Robbins ran
up ' fro n t ea rl y in the d ay, but an un planned
encounter with the water tank ultimately ended
his day. In the end, Andrew Turn er posted the
80 cc wi n, w hile Jam es Full er an d Vi nce nt
Rhoad es rounded ou t the top three in the .BOcc
class. which was the second-largest class of the
da y.
The real excitement, however. was reserved
for the end of the day wh en a brand -new 1996
YZI25c c d onated by Tho usa nd Oak s Yama ha
wa s raffled off. The finalists in the raffle were
each given a key to try in a lock that was placed
on the motorcycle. Darren Elliott's key opened
the lock, and the Vet racer was all smiles as he
became the proud own er of the machine.
