but Ed Castro blew out the candles on Fisher's
birthday cake by winning the Handicap main.

In the first Scratch semi, Fisher just ran
away. Castro settled for second. Jim Estes
and Bobby Krips were headed for the Consi.
In the second semi, Bobby Schwartz put
together an awesome start and was off on top.
Scott Brant was running a close second but
couldn't find a way around. Then, as the white
flag came out, the cam chain broke on
Schwartz's bike; his brilliant ride was for nothing. Brant took over the lead, with Dukie
Ermolenko second. Both would head for the
main; Chris Manchester and Schwartz headed
for the Consi.
They rolled to the line to draw for starting
MORENO VALLEY, CA, SEPT. 8
Chris BOnd put in two perfect motos to take
the win in the 125cc Beginner class at Star~
west on Saturday night.
In the first moto, Taylor Gilmore nailed the
holeshot, followed by Mike Lopez and Bond.
Bond was able to get by Gilmore and Lopez
for the early first-lap lead. Lopez moved into
second, and Brett Dimanno was hot on his
trail in third. While the gap between Bond and
Lopez grew, Lopez had Dimanno on his back
tire. Dimanno's quest came to an end when he
stalled his bike in a turn, and that allowed
Lopez to get a comfortable lead. Jason Jones
also made his way by Dimanno to take the
last podium position. Bond cruised in for the
win, followed by Lopez and Jones.
Gilmore again took his Suzuki right to the
front in the second moto, followed by Bond
and Jones. Bond quickly worked his way into
the lead position, followed by Lopez and
Jones. Bond was riding conservatively this
moto, concentrating on making no mistakes.
Lopez stayed within striking distance, w~i1e
Jones had Dimanno trying to make a pass for
third. Dimanno made his move on Jones in
the whoops, taking the outside line and taking
over the third-place position. Bond took the
win, followed by Lopez and Dimanno.
In Mini action, Ryan Penhall, son of famous
actor and speedway racer Bruce Penhall, had
no problems proving that racing is in the
positions for the Scratch main. Fisher drew the
the youngest National Champion, cut a great
gate and took charge of things from the getgo. Estes looked very strong but just couldn't
get close enough and had to settle for second.
Schwartz was third, with Krips fourth.
The lowest yardage for the Handicap main
was the 20, shared by Charley Cooley and
Krips. Mark Adams was alone on the 30; Castro was likewise on the 40 Brant was on the 50
and Fisher was on the 60. Cooley outgated
Krips and led the field for three laps before
Castro put on one of his famous outside
moves and took over as they came around on
