matos. At the end of the day, Bowers came oul
on top of the 65cc class, with Mohney in second

Ublic Imaging 125cc Grand Prix, Wes
Totsubo was first off the line on his Honda
5250, with L,Vaughn Daniel and Eric Dadej in
his draft. On lap two, Dadej drafted and passed
Daniel down the back straight. Dadej kept
going, passing Totsubo on the inside of turn
eight. All three racers were side by side down
the front straight at the start of lap three.
Emerging with a precarious grasp on the
lead out of tum one, Dadej tried to open a gap
on his pursuers. Meanwhile, Daniel powered
around Totsubo on the outside of tum eight, and
as those two carried on their dice, they dosed
b.,ck up on Dadej. Shortly after starting the next
lap, Totsubo moved past Daniel to retake second, but all three racers remained nearly side by
side for the next nine laps of the lD-1{Ip eventl
exchanging the lead several times.
On the final lap, Daniel powered from second to the lead through turn four and started to
open a slight gap on Totsubo and Dadej. However, rounding turn nine for the final time, she
slowed slightly, allowing all three to cross the
finish line within mere inches of each other. The
WSMC officials sorted it out, giving Dadej the
win, followed by Totsubo in second and Daniel
in third.

Capt turns the tables at
Four Aces Euro Scrambles

REO MOUNTAIN, CA, FEB. 13
Team Green's Jeff Capt orchestrated a brilliant
come-from-behind victory at the Four Aces
Motorcycle Club's European Scrambles. After
spotfing his fellow competitors a five-second
head start, Capt charged through the pack to
win the Vet Expert/ Amateur race.
"I was dead last off the start:' said Capt. '1
bet it took me 10 kicks to get that baby started."
The Four Aces laid out two separate courses
for Saturday's event. Expert and Amateur riders
competed on Course A, while Novices and
Beginners tackled Course B.
"J bet I passed 20 guys on that first lap", said
Capt about his ride on Course A. '1 then got by
about five more on the second lap and then took
off after the leaders."
Abe Baumann, who is always a threat in the
Vet Expert division, led the first two loops of the
la-mile circuit after catching Mike Korenwinder
midway through lap one. Korenwinder showed
he's enjoying his new Yamaha YZ400 mount by
pulling off a booming, uphill holeshot to lead at
the bomb.
"I caught Korenwinder pretty early in the
third lap and then went after Abe:' said Capt,
''but I didn't pass him until about two miles
from the finish in that last iast section."
The Course A flagman mistakenly gave Capt
the white flag at the finish, so he was treated to
an uncontested victory lap. Baumann held on
for second, with Korenwinder third. Les Lehigh
and his CR500 rolled home in fourth, while Paul
Shafer finished fifth overall to claim top 250cc
Vet Expert honors. Dave Earll was top Vet Amateur at ninth overall.
ln the 200cc/250cc/Open/Four-Stroke
race, Capt's Team Green teammate Dave
Ondas pulled off a wire-to-wire win. Aboard a
KXSOO that sounded more like a top-fuel dragster than an off-road dirt bike, Ondas was
already enjoying a six-second lead when he
crested the hill at the end of the bomb run.
Ondas had an uneventful run to the checkers,
but racers were jockeying for position in his
wake.
justin Lundin, the eventual Four-Stroke-class
winner, held his YZ400 in second place throughout the first lap, with ATK-mounted joey LaIl7.a
nippiJlg at his heels.
Lanza continually tried to find a way around
Lundin and was plotting a pass in one of the
tighter sections on the course when Team
Green's Kur! Caselli slipped by for third.
"J was right on Lundin and looking for a
way by when Caselli came out of nowhere,
kind of cut off a corner and passed me," said
Lanza.
The three SpeedsteIS crossed the scoring shoot
in tight formation, and the dice was on. LUIldin
was next on Caselli's hit list.
"1 dosed in on Lundin early in the second
lap and got by him in a tight section in the hills:'
said Caselli.
Caselli then opened a gap as Lundin and
Lanza continued to batUe.
