Ruthann Renaux proved she's still got what it
takes by winning the Old Timers MX Association's Amateur class at the Los Angeles County
Raceway during California Racing Qub's Saturday night motocross.
Things didn't start well for Renaux in mota
one, as she went down on the opening lap and
found herself in last place. Meanwhile, Rick
Kanatzar was running away with the moto win.
Renaux never gave up hope and continued
charging the entire cace to pass Richard Bealer in
the final tun.' on the last lap for a welJ-deserved
runner-up finish.
RMl25-mounted Renaux showed the boys
she meant business by grabbing the secondmoto start over a field of mostly 250cc machines.
Kanatzar came from his fourth-place start to
move into second within a lap and set out after
Renaux. Kanatzar caught Renaux and would
dog her up to the midway point when he lost his
front end in a tum and went down. Renaux suddenly had a lS-second lead and the second-moto
win in the bag. Kanatzar dosed to within five
seconds of Renaux, but time ran out. Beale,[
went 3-3 to top Charles Watanabe and John
Flanders.
Frank Derby picked up the Old Timers
Novice first-moto victory over Raleigh Webster.
John Webb was in the thick of i.t until going
down on lap four.
Webb led every inch of round two. Derby
kept Webb honest all the way to the checkers for
the overall honors.
Mike Ferro went wire-to-wire for the Old
Timers Expert first-round win. Scott Freeman
hounded Ferro in second for almost the entire
MORENO VALLEY, CA, SEPT. 14
Jason Medina flexed hjs 60cc muscle at Starwest's Saturday Night at the races.
When the gate fell for the first moto, Medina
took the holeshot, pursued by Tyson Talkington,
Steven Forsythe and Justin Yeast. One lap into
the moto, Medina was able to put six seconds
between himself and Talkington. FOl)'ythe had
to worry about a closing Ryan Caley while Yeast
continued to distance himself from Forsythe.
On the white-flag lap, Medina had a 2Q-second lead on Talkington with Talkington the
same from Yeast. Caley had closed to within
striking distance of Forsythe and looked poised
to make the pass when all of a sudden, the front
end went out from under Caley as he charged to
the inside line of a berm. Caley's mistake
allowed Forsythe enough time to hold on and
come across the line in fourth.
.
The second molo started with Medina once
again reeling off the holeshot, followed by Talkington, Yeast, Forsythe and Caley.. As the three
front-runners distanced themse.lves from the rest
of the pack, the race was for fourth when
Forsythe and Caley resumed the previous
moto's battle. All molo long, Caley was looking
to get around Forsythe, who was riding as wide
as possible.
With one lap to go, Yeast went down, handing the third and fourth positions to Forsythe
and Caley. This opportunity was too much for
Caley to resist, and he immediately wicked it up
and was able to get around Forsythe to secure
third before the checkered flag.
