In 80cc GP Expert competition, Morse
made it look way too easy, sweeping both the
morning and afternoon races, with Mitch Weisberg, retuming after a long absence, only able
to apply slight pressure in second. The best
ride in this class was Weisberg's brilliant
charge through the field in race two after a
less-than-spectacular start. Weisberg had tum
five wired with a beautiful trailing-in block·
pass that caught his victims totally off guard.
Ian Igercic rode to a solid third overall, with
Skye Girard barely edging out Steve
Shimabuku for fourth overall.
Continuing to show dominant form, Morse
solidified his hat trick by running fiag to flag
for an all-out Formula GP Expert victory.
Takamoto worked his way through the field up
to second in both races, only to crash out in
the afternoon race, bringing out the red flag
and ending the race. Blair Sullenger rode to a
well-earned third overall, being bested in race
two by Frank Rodriguez, who captured second
overall. Benefiting from Takamoto's crash,
Girard took fourth overall.
Saavedra earns the lronman award for the
day by challenging the heat and just about
everybody else by racing in six classes. By the
time the last flag dropped, Saavedra had tal-
lied up an impressive first, two seconds, two
thirds and a sixth-overall finish.
