LACR Motocross win
By Greg Robertson
PALMDALE. CA, JUNE"1J
Brandon Norton ra n away wi th the first 125cc
Beg inne r mo ta win, then backed it up with a
st ro ng third ~pla ce sho w ing in round two to
e me rge th e overa ll win ner at Lo s An g el es
Co u n ty Ra cewa y during Californi a Ra cing
Club's Satu rday night motocross .
Co rey Murp hy got a go od jump off th e
ce m e n t s ta r ting pad to le ad N o rt on, Bryan
Bernay an d Brian Taggart in the first moto. By
th e end of lap one, N orton wa s a ll ove r Mur·
ph y, jus t look ing for a p lace to pass, as Taggart
was being p ressured by Shawn Trabert. Mu r~
ph y went down in the sa nd while lead ing, a nd
by the tim e he got up and running, he found
himself back in 14th place.
No rton inh erilt.>d a six·St.'Cond lead ove r Tra-
bert, wh o had p assed Ta gg a rt. Th ird p la ce
bel onged to Cha rles Dan a, wh o was s tea dily
pickin g off ride rs from his 10th- place start . Jo<
Barker wa s up to fifth after a first- la p fall, jus:)
ahea d of Steve Shea.
When th e checkers fe ll, it was o rton ad
a lone for the win. Tr ab e rt was a comfortable
se co n d over Dana , who loo ke d li ke he wa s
going to be chal lenged by Barker on the final
lap until Barker bobbled in a com er and let h ~
getaway.
Norton put his C Rl25 at the front of the
pack off the second-mot e start. Barker and Tagga rt swapped the runne r·up pos ition during the
first couple of laps until Barke r settled into the
po sit ion . Norton pu t a couple of seconds on
Barker before a lack of traction in a comer saw
him end up on the gro und . He was qu ickly up
and running, but not before Barker and Murphy
had slip ped past.
O nce out fro nt, Barker easily pu lled a way
for the second-mot e win. The battle for seco nd
went right up to th e chec ke rs , with Murphy
holding off Norton by a bike length . Nort on 's 13 wa s ju st en ou gh to top Barker' s 4·1 fo r th e
overall. Dana 's co ns istent 3-4 sco re ed ged out
Trabert's 2·5 for third.
