go 2-1 for the win. Gragg went 5-3 to break a
tie in points with Barbacovi (4-4) and Scott

Kiedrowski went home with the first-place
money in both the Vet and 250cc Pro classes,
during. the FMF-sponsored round of Califorrua
Racing Club's Saturday night motocross.
Kiedrowski, on his Suzuki Motor
Corp./FMF{ScottiAxo-sponsored RM250, saw
things go his way throughout both Vet motos,
as he turned a pair of holeshots into runaway
victories over Troy Welty and Frank Costanzo.
Nick Mairose got the holeshot in the first
250cc Pro moto, but within a lap he was
passed by both Kiedrowski and Michael
Young. Kiedrowski ended up leading every
lap, with Young keeping him honest right up
until the checkers. Jeremy Chaussee overcame a last-place start to earn third, ahead of
Mairose and Andy Grider.
In moto two, Kiedrowski got the start, but
within a couple of laps he had his hands full
with Young end Chaussee, who were right on
his back fender. Young and Chaussee pressured Kiedrowski throughout the race, and

entering a tum that put both riders on their
