Classic Series, some of the riders - such as
Tyler UttlefieJd. in the 80cc Beginner class have set their sights on the overall series
championship, while others took it one race at
a time.
With only two races left in the series, Vet
Pro rider Jimmy LeWallen, on the big blue
Yamaha, let everyone know he was in the hunt
for a win. The day may have looked like just
another race day on the outside, but for
leWallen, these races are aU-important, one
day at a time. Having recently raced at the
Canyon in the Four-Stroke Nationals,
leWallen not only flew through the air, he also
set the track on fire with his great starts and
his ability to work the corners to his advantage.
In other Vet competition, Barry Jenkins
held on to a lead in the Vet Beginner class,
while Brock Judd totally dominated the Vet
Expert class.

Maxwell in the House
By OAVE OAIN
CARLSBAD, CA. MAR. J 8
After a mud-filled first round and a rain-out at
the second. the Southland Racing Association
finally found some favorable weather. The
rainy winter left the normally dry and dusty
Carlsbad Raceway track in good condition.
Bob Maxwell took full advantage of the favorable conditions to take top honors in the Over
40 Expert division.
Mike Shoemaker got the jump off the gate
and led the field over the TT -style jump.
Maxwell pursued in second. Clay Nettleton,
Jeffrey Hasse and Chad Blough rounded out
the top five. Shoemaker continued to lead as
the pack wound through the tight upper sec·
tion heading toward the motocross track.
The top five under went vast changes as
the field streaked down the drag strip. Maxwell
appeared in th<: lead, dropping Shoemaker to
second. Marty Moates came from a midpack
start into third. Hasse dropped to fourth, with
Tom Knapp on his heels in fifth. The battle for
the top spot heated up as the riders headed
back toward the motocross track. Maxwell
held the lead, while Shoemaker and Moates
trailed within bike lengths.
Moates wasted little time going for the lead
and appeared on the drag strip in the lead.
Shoemaker followe~ moving into second and
dropping Maxwell to third. The top three once
again remained the same as they snaked
through the upper section. Moates remained
at the helm on the motocross track. Maxwell
worked back around Shoemaker for second
and was gaining on Moates, but Moates managed to hold off Maxwell as the two crossed
the finish line. Moates. still suffering from a
bout of bronchitis, succumbed to Maxwell's
pressure just as duo passed the IT jump.
Maxwell's lead went unchallenged for the
remainder of the race. Moates was equally
comfortable in second. Shoemaker trailed a
distant third. Hasse remained in fourth but was
getting pressure from the KTM-mounted Craig
Adams, though Adams later dropped out with
bike problems, allowing Haase to move back
into fourth and Knapp into fifth. With the top
three positions out of reach, the battle for
fourth continued between Hasse and Knapp.
Late in the race, Knapp moved around Hasse
to secure fourth. The Honda-mounted Maxwell
took the checkers at the end of the 45-minute
race. Yamaha riders Moates and Shoemaker
came in second and third, respectively. Knapp
and Hasse completed the top five.
