Gibson lethal at CMXR By Bob Alloy CARLSBAD, CA, MAY 8 Things did not start too smoothly for the 38 Riverside OTMX racers at Carlsbad Raceway, as they found themselves slipping and sliding on a very overwatered track. Bikes and riders were all over the uphill at the beginning of practice. Racers had to be flagged away from the uphill, and it was eventually bypassed completely for the remainder of the practice session. Fortunately, by the fifth moto, the entire track was dry enough to race on. Hootie Davis began by putting his Honda out in front of the Master A class. jim Gibson took over the lead after the first lap. Gibson proved unbeatable and was rewarded the win, as Davis filled the second spot. Gibson got the holeshot in mota two and continued his fast pace on every lap to clinch another win. Mark Anden;on zapped the second spot. Tim Daily led the Masters-class action in his race to the first turn, with Dave Jacobus in close pun;uit. jacobus then made the right move and blasted past Daily and stretched his lead for the win. Daily hung in and collected second. Keith Kearing, who moved up from the Expert class, grabbed the lead and dominated the track all six laps to earn his first-place status in moto two. Jack Roten crossed over with second. In the Expert class, George Spearing had his Kawasaki out in front, with Paul Heckman closely following. Heckman stayed right on Spearing and on.Illp four he made his move past. However, Heckman prevailed and beat Spearing to the finish. The second moto started out with Bob Ruder rocketing out with the holeshot. He owned it for two laps, at which tim".Spearing muscled past. It all went Spearing's wax from there. Beckman finished second after passing Ruder on lap five. Amateur Phil Blackburn gated with the holeshot and led for two laps. Randy Bruce charged past at that point. Bruce proved to be the fastest as he sped away, leading all the others. Blackburn kept the power up and claimed second, while Barry Hale slotted third and Bruce Cornell followed in with fourth. Geoff Arnold took the lead position early on in mota two, and he ruled until Dennis Rosenberg moved in on lap two. Rosenberg kept the power up the rest of the way and raced away with the big win. Bruce owned second, while Blackburn secured third and Bale was fourth. Results NOV: 1. Ed Rodzach (Yam); 2. John Pastore (!Caw). AM: t. Randy Bruce (Yam); 2. Phil Blackburn (KTM); 3.

Neese twists it at East Bend Motocross By Jay Hauser .. ..., N c :::> 38 EAST BEND, NC, MAY 2 The U.S. Eastern Motocross Spring Series made its turn toward the homestretch as East Bend Speedway hosted the eighth round~the"ffi:-race series, and local hero Jim Neese took three overall wins on the day. Tom Morgan Racing/Ballzee/O'Neal-backed Neese twisted the throttle and rode his way to sixth overall in the AMA East Coast 12Sec Supercross Series, so eese's pace was way faster than anyone else's at the track. He was in a class by himseU. The only threat Neese felt all day was in the final l25cc Pro moto, as Renthal/No Fear/Pro Art Works-sponsored Mike Martin grabbed the 'holeshot while Neese floundered around at the tail of the field. But once Neese had his YZ heated up, he set out after Martin, catching him with a little more than a lap to go. Having just worked through a tough field, Neese was pumped and quickly shot past Martin down the front straight, putting a cap on another mota win. Neese took the sweep over Martin, with Yamaha of Luberton's Mark Wagner rounding out the top three. Martin was back again, trying to chase down Neese in both the 250cc Pro and Over 25 A classes, but the end result was much the same. The 250cc class saw the same trio of eese, Martin and Wagner make the podium, while Scott ShipleY slid his way past Martin in the Over 25 class to take runner-up to eese. Martin held off YZ400 pilot Brad Proctor to make the podium in the Over 25 A race. A healthy turnout of 250cc C riders ensured some tight radng in the class. Brad Porterfield took control as moto one of 250cc C race got under way. Porterfield held the point by the skin of his teeth all the way to the checkers. Aaron Harmon put the pressure on Porterfield for the entire moto, just doing what he could to keep Suzuki-mounted Scott Dineen at bay. AIler working through the pack to reach the top five, Steve Chambers settled into fourth, over Christopher Miller. The second moto saw things get shaken up a little bit, as the competition was stiff and anybody could take the win. Dineen ended the day as the victor by virtue of winning the second mota, over Miller and Harmon. Harmon's consistent riding made him the runner-up, while Porterfield relied on his first-moto win to back up his fourth-place ride in mota two to get on the podium in third. Even Miller's second in moto two was not enough to make the top three, and he had to settle for fourth. Jason Geyer made the best of a Chambers DNF to work his way into the top five, just barely edging out Anthony Pinnisi. Results 50 SHFr: 1. Joe Bean (Suz); 2. Misty"Stanlon (Hon). 50 (4-6): 1.
