Radii, Adams hot at vintage MX By Matt Hilgenberg Photos by Photoman 66 WI1TMAN, AZ, FEB. 6-7 The American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association got its 1999 season under way with a trials/motocross doubleheader known as "Dual in the Desert," held at Speedworld Motorplex, just west of Phoenix. Saturday featured round one of the Speed and Sport. ational Trials Series, in which Alfredo Rodil nabbed a victory in the Modern Oassic lntermediate class, winning on a tie breaker over Ryan Dickson. Sunday's Speed and Sport'National Motocross Series saw 255 entries from across the country, but it was Don Adams who pulled off the triple victory, topping the 125cc, 250cc and Over 30 Expert d ivisions. Southwest Montesa's Jared Bates was the acting trial master at Speedworld, and .he laid out eight sections in and on the banks of a giant sand wash running through the property. As was the case last year, rain on Friday watered the loose-sand climbs and off-cambers, making them a bit easier on race day than when the sections were designed. Because of this, the scores were low and the competition tight. Rodil and Dickson finished the day with one point each in Modem Classic Intecnediate competition. Per AHRMA rules, when there is an absolute tie, the win goes to the oldest rider; in Rodil's 43 years did the trick over 39this case, year-otd Dickson. Mike Rieser rode his Yamaha to. third with two points. Three of the day's class winners finished with clean cards. Steve Martin had zero points in the Premier Heavyweight Novice class, with Bruce Stevens doing the same in the Premier Lightweight Novice class. Robert Kirk had the other perfect ride for the day, topping the 17rider Modern Oassic Novice class. Second went to Kevin Kelley, with one point. Adams won five of six motos against some very tough competition en route to the triple class overall victories. His only loss came in the opening race of the 125c~ Expert class, in which Mike Halpin took the win. Halpin also finished second, behind Morrill Griffith, in Over 40 Expert, and he took the overall win in SOOcc Expert. David Dean was one of the day's double class winners. In Classic 500cc avice, Dean rode a BSA B44 to the win ahead of Kay Mann, [ke Winchell and the Greeves Challenger of Coy McKibben. Dean put in another 1-1 performance in the Over· 60 ovice class. Ralph Porzelt debuted his pre-unit Rickman Triumph 650 with a runner-up finish. Results Trial GIRDER EX: 1. Dick HeadwaU (BSA), PREM H/W EX; 1. Derek Belvoir (Vel). PREM HjW lNT: 1. Dan Wilson (85A).

Larsson lights up REM Glen Helen MX By Rocky Hash SAN BERNARDINO, CA, FEB. 20 Lars Larsson came out t9 Racing Enterprises Motorsports' weekly Glen Helen Saturday Motocross, where he claimed the overall victory in the very competitive Over 50 Masters d.ivisian. With nearly a dozen riders on the line for the start of the first moto, it was Jady Weisel leading the charge as he snagged the holeshot. Behind Weisel, Larsson put his KTM SX250 into second, while Ray Pisarski ran third on his Kawasaki thumper. ext came Horst Leitner in fo'u.rtb, and Tommy Pearl rounded out the top five as the pack came through the scoring section on lap one. Larsson immediately set about pestering Weisel and looked to make the pass for the lead. Pisarski held third comfortably about two seconds back from the battle at the front. Par three laps, Weisel conducted a clinic on the finer points of rid ing wide, as Larsson was unable to make any of bis pass attempts stick. Finally, just before the halfway mark of the mota, Larsson found a way around Weisel's YZ and took over the lead. Larsson was wasting no time, nnd by the time the racers had completed the next lap, he held a three-second ad vantage. Wei e1 made a mistake late in the mota and dropped back to the fifth position, allowing Pisarski to move up to second and Leitner to move into third. Out front, Larsson was having an easy time of it, as his lead was five seconds when the tvvolap signal was given. Weisel was charging back into contention after his miscue, and when the white flag came out, he was in the fourth pot and looking for a way around Leitner in third. At the checkers, it was Larsson taking the moto win. Pisarski rode in for second, while Leitner held on for third place. At the tart of mota two, it was the KTM of Larsson out front with the holeshot, but Weisel had a better line through turn two and he took over the lead. Alan Olson, who was involved in a first-turn pileup in mota one, ran a strong third, while Leitner held fourth. Bengt Johansson filled out the top five as the racers came out of the back section for the first time. Olson was the rider on the move and he passed both Weisel and Larsson on the second Lap and took over the lead. On the third lap, Larsson bobbled in the canyon section and dropped back to fourth. Weisel moved up to occupy the second position, but by this time the leader was long gone. Olson, a multi-time Vet World Chall)pion, had opened up a 15-second Lead by the time the mota reached the halfway mark. Larsson wasn't giving in and he charged back up to third and was soon right on Weisel's rear fender. For two laps the two racers argued over the second position, with Larsson finally getting the best of it, as he took over the spot with one lap to go. At the checkers, it was Olson taking an easy moto win. Larson was the runner-up, while Weisel finished up in third. On the day, the overall victory went to larsson by virtue of his 1-2 finishes. With a strong second moto, Olson earned the second spo,! with his 6-1 finishes, and Weisel came in third after posting a 4-3 tally. Results 125 PRO: 1. Mark Tilley (KTM); 2. Chris Stokes (Yam); 3.

Koester grand By Robert Van Damme WIllMAN, AZ, FEB. 14 Jaise Koester garnered the overall win in the 250cc Beginner class at the fifth round of the Grand Canyon State Classic at Speedworld Motocross Park. More than 200 riders participated in the event, which was promoted by Canyon MX and run by AMX, and which also attracted riders from the nearby states of New Mexico and evada. Koester tied in moto points with his rival Russell Hacker, with both getting a first and a fourth; Koester won the tie-breaking second mota to take the overall. In the first mota, 20 250cc Beginners roared off the line and it was Prank Chavez leading after the pack cleared the left-hand sweeper. Don Wiley was second, followed by Frank Dusamek and Don Larson. As the pack came back. into view, the top four were still the same, with Hacker in fifth, followed by Koester and Jesse Erwin. The pack stayed tight after the first lap and Larson capitalized by passing Dusamek and Wiley at the Left-hand sweeper. It almost looked like Larson would throw it away as he tried t'? outjump Chavez on the south side of the course, as the rear end kicked au t. La.rson sa ved it; as they reappeared from behind the trees, he was now leading Chavez. Hacker moved up to fourth and was showing a wheel to Wiley. Chavez had the inside lin.e on Larson on the lefthand V-turn, but he could not muster enough drive to complete the pass. Then, at the same corner, Hacker got on the inside of Wiley and was able to make the pass before a series of jumps. As the riders came back into view from the whoop section, Hacker was second, right behind Larson. Koester was now up to fourth, as the early leaders were making mistakes. On the start of the third lap, La.rson and Hacker had some breathing room over the next seven spots. Hacker tried to pass on the inside after the sweeper but the nexl comer set him UjJ on the outside of Larson. Hacker jumped past Larson for the lead. Then Larson tried to repass on the inside, but Hacker was faster coming from the outside line. Chavez fell off the pace, and Koester and R. Collingwood were now running third and fourth. Hacker stumbled in the turn before the dou· ble-double section, but Larson could not make the pass, letting Hacker pull away on the whiteflag lap to a five-second lead. Hacker took the win, with second going to Larson. Collingwood passed Koester in the final tum before the checkered flag to take third. Erwin took fifth after going by Don Shinn on the last lap. Koester took the lead at the start of the second moto, followed by Shinn, Chavez and Jeremy Spear. Midway through the second lap, Shipn went by Koester and Hacker was moved up to fifth from a poor start. Spear moved past Chavez. Erwin went down when he lost control in the whoop section and landed on his tail bone. The downed rider was sore, but be was able to get up after about a minute. Koester was able to retake the lead when Shinn stumbLed and ended up finishing ninth. Collingwood went past Hacker on the white-flag lap in the back section. The checkers came out for winner Koester, with Spear, Collingwood, Hacker and Larson rounding out the top five. Results P/W BEG: I. Scott Maxwell (A TJ(); 2. Tyler Whl.lrton (KTM); 3.
