Malherbe masters Castaic MX
By Greg Robertson
CASfAIC, CA, SEPT. 25
In w hat may be the last -ever SSC Friday night
motocr oss at Castaic Lake (a t leas t for a w hile),
YZ250-mounted Mike Malherbe' used a pair of
good sta rts to claim the 250cc Beginner -class win.
The fa ns on ha nd w ere trea ted to a jum p
co ntest at the ha lfw ay poin t in the night 's racing
progr am. Co lin Morriso n, Mike Meado w s and
Sha ne Tr ittler did thei r bes t freesty le move s,
much to the deligh t 01 the crowd. Shortly ther eaf ter, a pla q ue was presented to Tri ttl er (w ho is
the SSC promo ter) by friends, s ponso rs and
track personnel in appreciation of the five years
of racing he has o rganized at the Castaic facility .
Mal herbe would start out his first mot o on
th e right foo t, with a holesbot o ver John Klier
and Harri n Hobb ick. Klie r would lose second
p lace to Hobbick on the back st raig ht o n lap
tw o. A sho rt time later, Hobb ick was all ove r
Mal he rbe a nd block-passed him coming ou t of a
tu m for the lead . Hob bick continued on for the
wi n o ver Malherbe a nd Sean Ireland , w ho kept
passi ng pe o ple from his last-pla ce s ta r t to nab
third .
Mal herbe wa s q uickes t out of th e ga te in
moto two to lead Klier by five seco nds after a
sing le lap. Klier w en t down and collected Hobbick in the process. Mal herbe suddenly had a 10·
second cushion . which he would enjoy u p un til
the ch t.>ekers fell. Jay Bagge ca me from ou t of the
pa ck to hold off Ireland for the runner-up position and claim seco nd over all on a 4-2 score. Irl"la nd 's 3-3 edged out Ho bbick' s 1-5 lor third
overall.
Steve Harbiso n co llected the 12.CJcc 'Begi nner
wi n, bu t it wasn' t easy. G rant Moore d ogged
Ha r biso n th rou g ho u t bo th mo to s as the two
fro n t-r un ne rs dis tanced the mselves fro m the

Mike Mead o w s ran a way wi th the 125cc
I n t erm ed i~l te fir st-m oto win over Colin Morrison
and Brad Terry. A cras h by Mor rison and a bad
start on Meadow s' part we re all th at Terry nt.'t."lit. li to run away with the second mot o and wrap
