Arzouman aces
REM Glen Helen Motocross
By Roc ky Hash
SAN BERNARDINO.CA., sm.5
Jeff Ar zourn an ce rta inly did n't d o it the eas y
way, but he d id do it the right way . Arzouma n
used steady rid ing and a bit of good fortune to
tak e the overa ll vi cto ry in th e O ver 40 Ju nior
class at Racin g Enterprises Motosports' weekl y
Glen Helen motocross.
When the first mot a left the line, Arzouman
was the quickest dO\\T1 the new , elonga ted start
straight as he positioned his Yama ha YZ250 on
th e po in t. Behind Arzouman W;lS Suzuki ride r
Ruben Alva ra d o i n second , whil e Leonard
Kirschn er pushed his Honda into the third slot.
Fourth was occupied by Scott Mays , a nd Mike
Cassell 's KX250 held down fifth . Out ir onto
Ar zQuman a nd Alva rado began to s~ p a ra te
the ms e lves from the pack as the tw o rid e rs
engaged in a battl e for the lead . Over the ne xt
few laps, the consistent rid in g of Ar zouman
began to payoff and he was able to ope n up a
four-second ~l d \'a n ta ge on Alvara do in second .
Meanwhile, Cassell was o n the mov e. The
Ka'wasa ki pilot was ab le to pass both Mays and
Kirs chner and move into third just before th e
halfway ma rk. Arzou man appeared to be on his
way to an unrontested moto win when disaster
struck suddenly. \VhiJe Arzouman was attempting to ~ls.... a lappt.-d. rider, the two collided and
both went down in a heap. A.~ Arzouman struggled to untangle his machine, Alva rado rode by
to take over the lead .
Although Arzouman did n' t give in, he was
una ble to catc h Alva rado, and the RM rid er wa s
the first to see the checkers . At the end of moto
o ne , it was Alvarado taking the w in, w ith
Arz ouman rid i ng second . Cassell hel d 0((
Kirschn er to finish up in third .
Whe n the riders lined up to do it one more
-shot. This
time, Arzou man again nabbt..-d the holL
time, Cas sell had sliced into thc second positi on,
and the quick-s tarting Alva rad o pu t his Suz u ki
into th ird . Behind Alva rado was Ron Howell in
fourt h. w hile Kirschner's C R settled int o fifth.
Alva rado wa s th e ma n o n the mov e, an d he
scooted by Cassell on lap two and moved into
seco nd . Soo n he wa s rig ht on Arzou man a nd
loo king to m a ke a pa ss for the lead . For tw o
la ps, Alvara do followe d Arzo u ma n's shad ow
arou nd the rourse bt.iore he could find his wa y
around the Yamaha rid er and take over the lead .
On ce out fron t, Alva rado began to ope n up the
jets and he was able to ope n up a three-second
lead on Arzouma n in second. With two laps to
go, Alvarado's cha nce for a perfect day went out
the window w he n the Suzuki rider high -sided.
on a steep and slick off-ca m ber turn and hit the
d irt. Alvarad o coul d not hav e pic ked a wors e
section on the track to han.' taken a soil sample,
as the turn was so slippery and steep that it took
him q u ite so me time to re mo u nt. Be for e he
cou ld ge t go ing agai n, both Arzuuman and Cassen went by . Cassell was next to di smount, as he
bobbled in the back bow l tu m a nd bailed off his
machin e, tu rn ing; the secon d position back overto Alva ra do. Arzou m nn was s tea dv with th e
lead for the rem ai nin g two laps , and - rode on
he
to secure th e mo to " i n. Alva rado finished up in
seco nd , while Kirsch ne r took adva ntage of Cossell 's ge t-off and snea ked in for th ird . O n the
d ay, th e ove rall victory we nt to Arzouman by
virtue of his 2 ~ 1 moto fin ishe s. Alva ra do was
seco nd with his 1-2 scores, and Kirschner ga rnered the third spot afte r pos ting a 5-3 tally.
