Vet X Sinling Summer Series
Round I: Cahuilla Creek MX
Harada Hammers
Out a Win
By STEVE EMTER
ANZA, CA, JUNE 26

Vet X race'" invaded Cahuilla Creek MX to kick off the
four-race Sizzling Summer Series. The track workers had pre-
pared a fun summer layout that was challenging but with slightly
shorter lap times for the warmer weather. It was an uphill battle
to keep the track prepped, what with the sun bearing down and a
breeze doing its best to take the moisture out of the track. While
the weather wasn't aaually "sizzling," the competition was.
As this was the first round of the series, some riders were
making their debut in new classes after moving up since the last
series and trying to establish themselves in their respective classes.
Gary Harada took the win in the 36-42 Novice class. It didn't
come easily, as he was chased by Suzuki rider Ben West in moto
one. At the start, KTM-mounted Martin Little charged into the
lead and stayed there for the first two laps, with Harada right
behind him. West started in sixth but began an impressrve charge.
On lap three, Harada passed Little. Chuck Ferrari was chird, and
West was now fourth. On the fifth lap, West put on his final
charge, passing Ferrari and then Uttle to take second, where he
finished, behind Harada. Little was third and Ferrari fourth.
Harada and Little battled in the early laps of moto two.
Harada led the opening laps, and Little was chasing him. On lap
five, Little slipped by Harada and then held on for the moto
win. Meanwhile, Chuck Ferrari put in a charge of his own: He
was sixth off the start but slowly worked his way up to third in
the closing laps. The overaJi win went to Harada (1-2), second
went to Linle (3-1), and third went to Ferrari (4-3).
Tony Sanfilippo came out on top of the 36-42 Beginner class
with two moto wins. In moto one, he had to work his way up
from third place on the first lap. Ahead of him were Honda
riders Rick Ellis and Clarence Henderson. Sanfilippo battled
with Henderson for two laps, staying within a second of him,
and on the third lap he was able to get around him to take over
second, behind Ellis. Gary Pash started in fifth but moved up to
fourth. Ellis dropped out, giving the lead to Sanfilippo, with
Henderson and Pash in tow, and that would be the finishing
order for the moto.
Sanfilippo charged into the lead in the second moto. Behind
him, the riders were dicing for poSition, with Pash second, John
Blanck third, and Sal Sandoval fourth. Sandoval was able to
work his way up to second on lap two, and Pash dropped back
to fifth on lap three. This opened the door for Blanck to move
into third on the final lap. The top three in the moto were
Sanfilippo, Sandoval and Blanck. The overall win went to
Sanfilippo, and the runner-up was Sandoval (5-2). The
consistent Dave Daniel (4-4) was third overall.
