Law again faltered off the line in mota two and Sturgeon got the holeshot, with Wes Broby in second, but it did not last long. Law overtook both to again finish first, but in the final analysis Law had to settle for second place behind Broby for winner of the series title. Equally spectacular at the final round was 125cc Novice rider Bern Santos. Santos and his brother Ritchie were the focus of attention in their two motos. In moto one, the Santos brothers swapped the lead tmee times, and it was on the last lap that Bern Santos made one final pass to take the lead for keeps. In m.oto two, Steve Brazil had a brief ride in first place, but the Santos brothers passed him before the end of lap one. Bern Santos did not aJlow anyone to come close to him the whole moto, so moto two ended with the same finish order as one and the final placings were set. Fortunately, for Brazil, his fourth-place finish in the final day of the se.ries - coupled with the Santos lads not being regular competitors - did result in Brazil ta.king overall h.onors for the four-wee.k Argyll Series.

Wheeler had some competition from Tim Sharp in the second round but dominated the first moto right from the gate. Sharp got the seco,nd-moto holeshot but Wheeler took over on lap two and quickly went to collect his 200 percent Pro payback check. Sharp took the second-place money with Ed Redman earning third overall with his 2-4 showing. Andy Harrington stole the limelight in the Open l25cc (16-25) division, having little trouble in capturing the first-moto checkered. Manny Arias, who placed second in the first round, grabbed the second-mota holeshot. Harrington came off the line in filth and had to work his Jay through the dust. Harrington worked into fiecond by lap four but couldn't make up the ground that Arias had earned early on in the moto. However, Arias was d.isqualified for riding a different bike for the second race. Oro Blocker earned his overall victory in the Y2sec Novice division after first placing second in moto one to Travis Frink. Blocker saw Frink take off at the gate but couldn't catch him as he ,,:as busy keeping Michael Fox at bay. 1n the folll;iwing moto Frink again took the hoIeshot with fox and Blocker trailing. Fox took the lead on lap two, but a determined Blocker chased him down and took over on lap four. ;;; Tvan Shultz and Jake Bissonnette continued their season-long battle for supremacy in the Junjor Cycle (0-8) division. Bissonnette saw Shultz lead the pack into tum one at the first gate but managed to steal the lead and eventual win on lap three. - In the second moto, things were reversed as Bissonnette took 011 first but Shultz ran him down and took over on the second lap. Brad Masters was able to take a pair of threes for the aay then came out later to sweep both Pee Wee '(~-8) motos. Results j' o INTRO MX: L Marco Bemaldez (Suz); 2. Tristan Kallas (ijon); 3.

Leivan clinches Cannon Creek Enduro By Frank Leivan COWNS, MO, SEPT. 8 Steve Leivan was the overall winner of the Cannon Creek Enduro, round 8 of the Black Jack Enduro Circuit, held on the 1000-acre Eagle Gun & Sports Ranch. A light shower covered the course the night before the event, settling the dust and making conditions perfect for the majority of the race. The trail consisted of rocky single-track, powerline sections, rocky creeks and fire roads. Many speed changes and resets were incorporated into the layout, which saw short-course riders go 47 route-sheet miles while B riders rode 70 and the AA and A riders wel'lt 75. Check two was the first check that took points from all riders with Leivan leading the way with a 1:14. Steve Travis, on a Honda, was next-fastest with a 1:23, ahead of Rusty Reynaud carding a 1:27. Check three would prove to be the downfall for Travis as he suffered a two· point penalty for burning the check. The first ection of loop two was run at 18 mph and the riders were checked at the end of it with a tie breaker. Again, Leivan was tops with a 32, while Travis and Reynaud checked in on the early side of a perfect 30 with a 23 and 25, respectively. The final two checks were run at 24 mph and Leivan, Reynaud and Travis recorded identical threes at check nine and sixes at check 10. When the scores were tallied, Leivan had secured the win on his WR25O, with a score of 10:46, ahead of KTM 360-mounted Reynaud who finished with a 10:62. Travis would claim third with 12:60. Allen Haynes took another win in the 250cc A class, dropping 12 points and finishing fourth overall.
