Zornes bags Sandhill MX By Dick Archer BRENTWOOD, CA, APR. 20 Dedicating the event to the memory of Pete Ford, the Sand hill Ranch hosted round thnee of the AHRMA/Speed & Sport Vintage MX Series, at which Ed Zornes absolutely destroyed the competition in both the Over 40 Expert and Sportsman 500cc Expert classes, as he propelled his '74 Yamaha YZ360 to victory in all four motos. In the Over 40 Expert class, Zornes the way in both motos as Doug Grant and Randy Lewis did their collective best to stay close. Not far behind them was Mike Haplin and Robert Hansen, but Zornes' strong starts and steady riding brought him across the finish line first in both matos. Grant, Lewis and Haplin went on with their own fight, especially in moto two when Grant worked his way up from a poor start to finish second, and Lewis held off Haplin to secure third overall. Grant went on to win the Over 30 Expert division (1-1), and Lewis fought it out with Dallas Nyblod to win the Sportsman 250cc Expert class. Zornes was unbeatable in the Sportsman 500cc class, as well. Ron Fish, also aboard a Yamaha 360, hung with Zornes for a while and put in a good ride finishing second in both motos. Jerry Brandt, Robert Hansen, and Rod DwUvent rounded out the top five. The Premier SOOcc Expert motos played out well, as Terry Sage, who finished second to Dick Mann in moto one, got ahead and stayed ahead in moto two despite Mann's ~nsistent stalking throughout the entire moto. Mann made his move on the last lap, and with Sage in his sights, tried to make the pass, but Sage beat him to the corner and took the checker and the overall win with a 2·1. Other double-moto winners included Steve Gibson, who won two sizzling motos over Steve Parker in the Sportsman 125cc Experts and Danny Davies in the Over 50 Expert. Doyle Cook went 1-1 in the Over SO Intermediate division, as did Larry Beaty in the fully gated Over SO ovice class, and Janet Borg. aboard her CZ 125 and CZ25O, won all four motos in the Classic 12Scc ovice and Women's Intermediate.
