SACRAMENTO,CA,FEB.14 Former IT specialist Larry Legarra was the big winner at the opening round of the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Associatioo regional motocross series at the Hangtown-Prairie City 'State Off-Highway Vehicle Park in eastern Sacramento County. The Washington State rider topped three classes of the 22·moto program. Legarra's biggest challenge came from Dave Dotson, last year's winner in the Over 40 Expert class. Legarra gated both molos well, though he had to chase down early first-moto leader Ken Vanderhoof and Dotson for the first-moto win. The pass for the lead was made easy after Vanderhoof bailed, and Dotson could not keep up the pace in the deep mud. Legarra had the se..c0nd-moto st~rt wired and he held off Vanderhoof and Dotson. Dotson took second overall and Mike Atkins took third, ahead of Vanderhoof. J.P. Morgan and Bill Goldfoos dueled for the Over 40 Intermediate honors. In moto two, Chris Pjetrczyk ruined Goldfoos' fun as he sneaked in a pass to claim second on the day, pushing Goldfoos back to third. Legarra/s other wins came in the 500cc Premier and Sportsman Open Twin classes. Dick Mann topped the Premier Lightweight class aboard a BSA. Dotson topped the Sportsman 500cc Expert with a 2-1 count over Ken Vanderhoof's 1-3 moto tally. Steve Parker took third with a 3-2 score. Erik Carter won the Sportsman 500cc Intermediate class with a pair of wins over David Starr and Christian Oteio· The Over 30 class saw Scott ,Silvia win the Expert ranks, with Tom McKinney taking second, while Carlos Romero put a 3-1 effort to top the Intermediates. Tom Maples scored a pair of wins in the Novice division. A good-sized Over 40 Novice class saw Bu!taco jockey Steve Davis win both motos over Dan Garonsky and Dexter Meyer, while John Gulliford won both rounds of the Over 50 Novice division ahead of Mike Folena and Bob Behmes. Rick Mayher topped the Over 60 class by beating Jim McDanrald. lIJustrating the "family" side of the series, Duane Spence won the Over 60 Expert class over Ron Dotson, Dave Dotson's dad, while a thirdgeneration Dotson, Sean, garnered third in the Novice class, behind Dan Lee and Dexter Meyer.

Quale flies at OTHG MX By Chris 5anchirico Photo By Kirby Smith SAN BERNARDINO, CA, FEB. 13 Midcities Kawasaki/Honda-backed Duane Quale combined good riding and a little help from the competition to top the Over The Hill Gangs Intermediate class. Southem California's finest Vets assembled at the tight, technical, offcamber REM track to mix it up at round two of the young OTHG 1999 season. Rocky Hash used his many years of experience to nail the holeshot. The likes of Michael Marrinl Eric Barr and Quale were in pursuit. Hash slowed no mercy to the competition sharing none of his sacred lines as he rocketed away from the field with a comfortable lead to the checkers. The hot action on the track was the battle for second between Barr, Marrin and Quale. In an effort to pass Marrin for third, Quale found himself off the track, but he was able to return without losing a position. Marrin began to pressure Barr for second. The two entered the tricky off-camber uphill side by side, with Marrin passing for the runner-up position. Meanwhile, Quale had worked his way up to the rear wheel of Barr and was looking to paSs. The trio now engaged in a dogfight for secOnd. Barr launched his machine down the steep hill past Marrin to reclaim second. With the laps winding down, Tom Wadovich charged hard from out of nowhere and appeared to be turning the fastest lap times. Wadovich made quick work of Ma.rrin to claim fourth and then passed Quale to take over third. With one lap to go, Wadovich was all over Barr for second. As the two riders screamed downhill, Barr went left to avoid a rider who had gone down in the- middle of the h:ack; Wadovich.seized his opportunity, blitzing to the inside and securin!l l second at the checkers, with Barr hanging on for third. Moto two saw some new faces up front, with Walt Bennett taking his tum at the helm; Quale, Kevin Tail, Rick Tatlow and Hash were all in tow. The riders rounded the track in a tight single-file line. Bennett managed to build up a slight cushion, but it would all be for naught as ue got tangled with a lapper and went down, allowing Quale to take the lead. Bennett was able to remount in second, with Tait and Tatlow holding down third and fourth. A slow-starting Hash cou!d not find his first-moto speed and finished sixth. With one lap to go, lappers became a problem for Quale, a Uowing Bennett to close in, as he was desperately searching for a way past. Quale began to ride a very wide track and thwarted Bennett's relentless pressure to hang on for the victory. Quale's 4-1 would be· good enough for the overall, while Hash received a gift, going 2-6 for second, with BaTT's 3-5 locking in third overall. Results 38+ BEG: I. David Renner; 2. Reid Franke; 3.
