PERRIS, CA, DEC. 12
YZl25-mounted Chad Frank was nothing short
of spectacular as he d.ominated the 125cc Novice
class at round four of GFl Racing's 10 Year
Anniversary Super Saturday Series, held at Per-
ris Ra"ceway.
Frank's reign started as soon as the gate
dropped in the first moto, as he snaked the
holeshot ahead of Kenny Maddox and Scott
Coleman. Jed Herring gated midpack, but by lap
three he had worked his way up to pass Maddox for the runner-up position. Herring was the
only other 125cc ovice who was able to keep
Frank in sight, as the duo separated themselves
from the field.
In the end, it was the Simi Valley Cycles/The
Racers I3dge/Chuy's Radng-sponsored Frank·
with the victory over Herring. Maddox earned
third, a safe distance ahead of Chad Rozanek
and Colem,m.
The second-moto start was a repeat of the
first, with Frank quickest out of the gate, followed by Maddox, Patrick Terry and Rozanek.
While Frank reeled off one uncontested lap after
another, a good battle for second place raged. on
between Maddox and Rozanek. Herring proved

to be one of the fastest riders on the track, as he
came from a near-Iast·place start to pass
Rozanek for second place on lap seven.
Frank's Lead was insurmountable, even for
Herring, as he cruised across the finish for a
sweep of the class. Herring took home the second-place trophy with a well-deserved 2-2 score.
Rozanek went 4-3 to beat out the 3-4 of Maddox.
Jay Clark went wire to wire for the 250cc
Beginner first-mota win, with Zac Marquez
keeping him honest. Marquez returned to win
the' second moto with a huge lead while Clark
recorded a DNF. Alex Ochoa worked up
through the pack to go 4-2 for second overall
behind Marquez.
Anthony Bruscella rode a pair of Yamahas to
wins i.n the BOcc Open/Expert and Supermini
classes. Bruscella split moto wins with Mickey
Griffin in lI,e Expert ranks, then returned to top
Griffin both times out in the Supermini wars.
Kevin Breid used a 3A score for tJ\ird overall,
ahead of Michael laPaglia and Brent Line.
