Willis Brock ckson swept both the oval and snocross courses at the renewed Colden Classic, Labalt Ice Beer Race held at Colden Lakes Resort. Jackson showed the Mini class the way around the tenth-mile oval on his RMBO, holding off McClure Honda's justin Bradley and his CR. He then led the snocross main from start to finish, once again beating Bradley to the snowy fin· ish line. Behind these two pint-sized Chuck Springsteens, jeffrey Mort and john Basher held a battle royal, passing back and forth .but leaving Mort in front of Basher for third place on the lap that counts the most. Promotor Brian Adams brought back the Colden ice races following a 1(}.year hiatus. He's been rewarded with numerous motorcycle racers, eager to race during the long Buffalo area winter. As six inches of powdery snow fell during the day's activities, approximately 200 snowmobilers watched or raced as well. .in the Open Expert nocross class, Fred Huff of Springville did his best to imitate johnny O'Mara at the 19B6 Motocross Des Nations, turning the throttle of his RMl25 to its outer limit and showing all the big bikes the way around the ice. James Denk of nearby Boston played the hapless David Thorpe to Huff's O'Mara, chasing Huff around the half-mile course and styling with some front-straight, 50mph wh.,e]j.es on his CR5OO. Bill Snelgrove and his RM250 found the fast way around the tenth-mile Open Expert oval main event, ll.icing with none other than Huff and Darryl jakubowski, who was riding a Honda four-stroke ice-race machine. The Open Amateurs provided exciting oval action as well, with the only bad crash of the day occurring when Bruce Huddleston tried to use his four-stroke KTM as an ice auger. The mighty thumper didn't even crack the ice, but it sent KTM parts flying and- Huddleston to a hot shower. Andrew FISher of Holland led AI Conte, who brought out a tattered-looking Yamaha IT but rode the wheels off it to hold onto second ahead of first-time ice racers Rodney Cyralik and Tommy Raterman in the Open Amateur race. • his shoulder, Chester pressured Hedrick. who refused to give an inch. When Chester went for a block pass and bobbled instead, it looked like Hedrick would finish in second, with Walker third. But on the next go-round, Chester blasted between Hedrick and Walker to take second. Walker answered with a zinger of his own to regain the trigger spot with Chester stepping up to third. They ran out of time to catch Boruff and finished ",",ond and third to the young warrior. Boruff also holeshot the 250cc A main, setting up a battle with Walker and Chester. Halfway through the 14-lap struggle, Walker .arved through the bowl tum and used the optional small jump to slingshot past Boruff into the lead. Yards later Chester ducked inside, dropping Boruff to third. Not much later, Chester copied Walker's jump pass to take the lead and was out of reach for the rest of the race. Walker and Boruff maintained second and third, with Wallin and Wilson roullding out the top five. Results Friday SO (+6): 1. Brett Michtlud (KTM); 2. IWJtin Ashburn (KTM); 3.

Fesler's lead lasted for 20 minutes, but with just two laps to go Fesler's front wheel wellt flat and ended his race. This gave Silva the lead and Theis second, until a hard fall moved Theis back to fifth. Silva held on for the first-moto win over Franco, who battled Deledda and Dodds the entire moto. Theis recovered after his late first-moto crash to grab the holeshot in moto two with Fesler, Silva, Dodds and Franco giving chase. Franco passed Dodds on the first go-round as Fesler pressuned Theis for the lead. Fesler forced his way by Theis for the lead in a tum on lap three as Deledda broke into the top five.
