went 4-4 for third overall aboard his Husaberg. Johnny Greaves of DePere, Wisconsin, aced both motos of the highly competitive Over 35 A class, ahead of Andy Stacy and Dennis Hawthome. Greaves gated well in the first Over 30 A moto, sneaking into the front with Hawthorne on his rear tire. Greaves checked out with the win by almost 10 seconds. Stacy finished second, with Hawthorne close behind. The second moto didn't quite go as well for Greaves, who got caught up in a melee in the first corner off the start. By the time Greaves pulled his Honda from the mess, the 25rider field had checked out. Stacy led, with Rossetto and Hawthorne tagging along. Greaves mounted a charge and went from dead last to inside the top lOin one lap, slicing his way to the front - only to see Stacy greet the checkers first. Stacy (2-1) took the overall, ahead of Greaves. Hawthorne (3-4) was third. CN Motasports Part< Byren, Illinois Results: May 4, ZOOZ [Round 11 25. W!'IN: I. Kelly Nye: 2. Cothy !'IcCullen; 3.

CMA and AHRMA Motocross Club Moto ---------------------- cDaniel Masters Cub Moto Bv MIKE VANCIL UVERMORE,CA,MAY4 ory McDaniel rode in three motos at the event under the lights and was successful from gate drop to checkers. He got the holeshot in most of his motos and was never headed the entire evening. In the 125cc Intermediate class, McDaniel faced five other racers who could have presented a challenge, had they gotten close enough. The biggest opportunity for the opposition came in moto one when Nick Baugh took his Kawasaki off the line ahead of the pack. Before lap one was complete, Powerhous/Yamaha/ O'Neal/Pro Circuit-backed McDaniel rocketed his YZ into the lead and held it until the checkers flew. Baugh hung on for second, trailed by Rick Berhorst, on a Suzuki RM. McDaniel sped off the line first in moto two, and basically the race was over. This time Berhorst was able to nab second and Baugh was relegated to third. The overall results showed McDaniel perfect with double-moto wins and Berhorst second, while Baugh grabbed third. McDaniel also entered the Pro-Am "X" class, which shared a gate with the Sportsman "X" class. Here, too, he was untouchable, charging into the night ahead of the pack. He kept up the torrid pace even though he was not in danger of having anyone come close, probably operating with the mindset that you don't practice slow and you don't race slow. There were no other Pro-Am contenders, as C the other rider slated to ride didn't make it to the start line. McDaniel was trailed across the line by Sportsman X winner Raymond Navarro, on a Kawasaki. In American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association action, the riders contesting the Post-Vintage classes (roughly 1975 to 1984 models) put on a good show. The limited suspension on these older machines didn't visibly slow them down any on the highly technical Club Moto track, which is basically a supercross in a field. The largest entry was in the 500cc Gran Prix Intermediate class and they provided a good battle, with much passing and repassing. In the first moto for this class, Matt Itamura powered to the lead on his beautiful Maico after a horrid start. Once in the lead, he was not challenged and rode at the point until moto's end. He was trailed by Don Garner, on a TM Suzuki, and by Mario Andreini, on an early YZ Yamaha. In the second moto, Andreini took control early and held off repeated challenges from first-moto winner Itamura. When the checkers came out, it was Andreini first, Itamura second and Garner third. Husqvarna pilot Syd Jones was able to hang on in the first moto for fourth place but did not contest the second moto. In all, there were four motos of Post-Vintage classes, and those were divided into 14 separate classes. The demands of modern courses on elder machines and riders is understood, but that didn't deter the riders of the Over 50 class, including John Gulliford, on a Montesa VR, and Dave Myklebust, on a Husqvarna. They both rode each moto and had huge smiles on their faces at the completion. Gulliford won both motos, but the margin of victory was not huge.

The super track layout complemented Lewis' smooth style, as he seemed to float around the course, making his wins look easy. This month's program at the Monster featured the unveiling of the new Supercross facility on Saturday, in conjunction with a full outdoor program the following day. The event was co-sponsored by Gatorade and was billed as the Gatorade Supercross/Motocross Challenge. Both days also served as Southeastern qualifiers for the NMA Finals at Ponca City, Oklahoma, to be held in August. Perfect weather and a great racetrack proved the perfect combo for plenty of action. Riders throughout the region have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the new SX facility, and they were not disappointed, as the safe yet challenging course exceeded everyone's expectations. Qualifying action started with a bang as the 125cc C class left the gate. Georgia's Jermaine Duncan led H cue I e Mississippi's Dustin Gill had other plans and passed Duncan on the second lap.
