GFI North Winter Se ries
Round I : Oatfield Race w ay
Sani & Friends Sanitize
the Oatfield
By JIM

TURLOCK, CA, JAN. 11
A me rican Suzuk i/Clawso n Motorsports/Fo x!
J""\FMF/Spy-backed Daniel Sani cleaned house
in the 125cc and 2S0cc Intermediate classes by
posting a pair of wins at th e op en ing round of
the GFI N orth Winter Series . Th e new ly
redesigned Oatfield Raceway, w hich played host
to the nearly 500 ride rs, w as a welcome sight
to ma ny, as the layout had only underg one
minor changes in th e last 10 years . But no w,
passing lines we re plentiful, as severa l turns had
as many as seven good , deep ruts. and the new
layout rea lly leveled the playing field for those
not so familiar with the trac k.
Sani certainly found the tr ack to his liking, as
he ace d all fou r motos on the day. Sani was in
great co nd it io n, and aboard t he new Suzukis,
the Clovis reside nt loo ked co nfident as ever. He
was clearly the fastest guy in his classes , and he
knew it .
"T he switch fro m Honda to Suzuki w as one
of the best th ings I could have don e ," said Sani.
'The bikes are fast and superreliable. Me and
[Tony] Sherman had a good race , and I almost
gave it to him w ith the mistakes I made . But I've
been training rea l hard, and it's paying off."
The Capitol Y

Answer/Scott-backed Sherman pr o ved t o be
one of Sam's to ughest competitors o n the day.
The second 12Scc Inte rmed iate moto became a
heated battl e between the duo fo r ne arly the
e ntire race. Ho we ver, Sani hounded Sherman,
and o nce he got by, he deve loped a gap tha t
Sherma n co uld n't clos e . She rman claimed the
runner-up spot with a 2-2 effort.
Ch ar lie Morrison , co ming off a layoff due to
injury, looked ne arly up to speed and claimed
the runn e r-up spot , be hind Sani, wit h a 2-2 tally
in the 2S0cc Int ermediate cl ass . Pilot ing a
Tho usa nd Oaks/FMF Yamaha , Morrison w as
just a tad off of Sarti's pace on the day, but not
by muc h.
Joining Sani in the cleaning cho res was Ross
T hreet, w ho aced both of his 2S0cc No vice
motos o n th e day. Taking advantage of a pair of
good starts, the Honda pilot jum ped into the
lead spot w ith in the first lap both times out and
was ne ve r challenged all t he w ay to th e
ch e c ke rs. Foll o w ing up be hin d T hree t was
Suzuki -mounted Bo b Kirk, w ho chalked up a
so lid 2-2 score on the day.
Kyle Smith topped the do ub le-division field
of 12Scc No vices wit h a 2-1 moto sco re o n the
day. After toughing ou t a mid pack start in the
first mo to and finishing seco nd , Smith went ou t
in moto two, nabbed the ho leshot and checked
out big-t ime . Curtis Sweezey, aboard a fourstroke Kawa saki , po unded out a pair of so lid
motes for sec o nd on the day via a 1-2 scor e .
