Tarantino pUlps Sarona Oaks
By Homer Eubanks
RAMONA, CA, MAR. 21
A total of 320 riders lined the gate at Barona
Oaks Raceway in what was just the second of a
, 21-race series. The spring weather drew a huge
number of spectators. Those in attendance
enjoyed a wide variety of motocross action ranging from Pros to Pee Wee Beginners and including a healthy field of Veteran riders.
Josh Tarantino chipped away at the competition to take home the 250cc Pro purse in an
event full of surprises. In moto one, Angelo
lngrande brought his Suzuki around turn one
first, with Todd Mitchell, Tarantino and Lars
Larsson trailing. Just before the second lap,
lngrande dropped his Suzuki, giving the lead to
Mitchell. Tarantino also found liille traction and
found himself brushing off the red Barona Oaks
clay. The crash put Larsson in second until lap
four, when he cut inside Mitchell for the lead.
Tarantino was able to get back in the thick of thE!
battle late in the rrtce and take the second spot
from Mitchell.
Before Tarantino could get settled in,
Mitchell came back on the following lap and
retook the position. At the checkered flag. it was
Lars Larsson first, followed by Mitchell, Tarantino and Lngrande.
The second moto seemed like it would be a
repeat of the first moto. lngrande shot out of the
gate and into tum one first. Tarantino grabbed
the second spot, and Mitchell was ahead of Larsson. Tarantino put a charge on lngrande, and as
they elbowed one another for most of the lap,
the two racers kept the spectators on the edge of
their seats. Ingrande held the position during
this battle, but when the next wave hit", Ingrande
saw Tarantino cut inside for the lead. Tarantino
took the lead just as a bee found its way into
lngrande's helmet, stinging him on the cheek.
(ngrande lost the purse to Tarantino, but the bee
paid the ultimate price: It was found crumpled
up in lngrande:s helmet.
Todd Mitchell earned second overall. with
Lars Larsson taking third.
