Dustin Fauld s scored main-even t wins in two
ou t of the th ree Pro classes during th e season
opener at Saddleback Racew ay.
Faulds took a hard-fought win in the newly
rec onciled Open Pru IT class, and ran away
wi th the 250cc Pro-class main. Feuld... hopes f';r
•
a s weep o f the Pro classes were da shed w hen
Bob Anderson slid hi!' wa y to a flag-to-Ila g vietury in th e Open Pro class .
Faulds su ffered a bad start as Brad Letch er
took th e ho lcshot in th e Open Pro IT. Letcher
and Chuck Bevin g battled thruugh the infield
se ct ion bu t ca me together exiting the infield .
allowing Mike Lalley, C.J. Beving and Faulds to
move pest . Fauld s followed Lalley across the
lin e fo r the first sev eral laps as they battled
w heel to wh eel. Lalley' s Kawasaki was set u p
better for the muddy cond itions of the infield, as
well as hav ing a fron t brake; Faulds kept dose in
the infield d espite having no frunt brake. Faul ds
took ad vantag e of his CR25O's power and ha nd ling on the sho rt track portion of the track to
take the lead in the final laps. Fau lds won with
Lalley clo se behind. 11~ Beving held o ff Letcher
fur third .
Faulds did not want to repeat the bar-banging battle of the IT as he took th e hole
shot in the
250cc Pro mai n . Faulds led flag to flag to ta ke
th e se
cond main of th e night. Mik e Johnson,
letcher and Beving battled behind th e lead er
throughout th e entire main. Johnson' s trademark ru b-the- w al1-a s-much -a s-poss ib le st yl t!'
netted him ~nd place.
The Open Pro main event proved to be too
mu ch for Fauld~ on t h i ~ ni ght . Vf" tf"ran Bob
And~rson took the holesh ot by slid ing deep into
the first tum an d powering hi5 way in fron t of
the field . Anderson's thro w-it·in-.md· L1y-it-ovcr
t~nique proved to be the Mt m ethod of gethn g around the dry, slick track. Pete Tapkin and
Fa ul ds tri ed va liantly to keep th e p ace, but
~n ders~n w ou ld n ot be denied an openi ng rught wm.
