PELLEn JACKSON, OH, DEC. 12· 14 anada's Pie rce Cha mberlain came down from the frozen north and thr ew the locals fo r a loop, as the Yama ha-m o unted Pro wrecked the Saturday party for the large group of Expert riders who had gathered mostly from Ohio and its ne igh bori ng states . Driving 10 hours from his hometown of Freelton , O ntario , the Yamaha Canada and Machine Racing-backed Pro just barely made it in time for Saturday night' s racing, yet he put on quite a show for a late arrival. Taking a fourth- place start on his blue 2S0cc machine, Chamberla in quic kly scramble d his way up front for the win. Then, in the 125cc Pro class, it was all business for the Canadian, as he jumped on an intense holeshot and sto rmed off for the win. john Wisenbarger, Friday night's 125cc Pro main-event winner, came in second. Wisen barger and Cincinnati's Doug Gall battled it out with northern O hio fast guys Mike Katin and Vince Karnow all weekend, gaining some successful trips to the podium and heaps of co ld cash a long t he way. Ho w e ve r, Sa turday be longed to the Ca nadian , as C hambe rlain simply stormed this fo rme r horse arena nea r jac kson , tak ing both of Saturday night's Pro classes and the respect of the cro wd . He was e xtremely fast, especially in the comers. On Sunday, Chamberlain finished in the runne r-u p sp ot, behind Wisen barger, in the 12Scc Pro main - the best race of the weekend. Cha mberlai n once again mastered the 2S0cc Pro class.

Once aga in, F&S Suzuki's "Zac h Attac k" Ames put on a " fe st iva l of s pe e d . " The inc redibly talented IS-ye ar-ol d na tive of Prospect, O hio, was unbeatable all w ee ke nd . Ames nonchalantly spanked the Inte rmediate classes, dusting off his RM Suzukis and rompi ng away with every J2Scc and 2S0cc B-c1ass moto over t he wee kend. As fo r his " a cade m ic" endeavors, he also whisked his way through the Schoo lboy division with ease. C RESULTS Friday M ICRO (4- 6) : I . Tat e Bro ck (KTM): 2. Na sh Kisse l (KTM); 3.
