were Randy Woodring, Tommy Osmialowski
and the rest of the 21-rider field. "Osmo" was
the first to strike, overtaking Woodring and
then Paulsell before the end of lap two. Then
Woodring passed a slowing Paulsell. (It was
later discovered that motor gremlins had
ended Paulsell's 125cc B racing for the day.)
Osmo made good use of the open track
and quickly built up a large lead to take the
win. Woodring cruised around in second with
no challengers in sight. The race for third
through fifth was a good one, as Trevor Gund·
lach, Ryan Wilson and Rich Powell were in a
dogfight with the slow-starting but hard-charging Jared Whipple. On lap three, Gundlach
picked up the pace and put together a strong
lap that opened up a lead that he carried to the
finish. On the white-flag lap, Wilson overtook
Powell to wind up fourth, behind Osmialowski,
Woodring and Gundlach. PowelJ finished fifth.
In moto two, there were few changes in the
main players. Wilson was this moto's holeshot
hero. Osmo, Woodring, Gundlach and Powell
made up the top five, with Osmo being the first
to displace Wilson. followed closely by
Woodring. With the battle now set for the day's
overall, Woodring went to work on Osmo,
reappearing from the back of the track on lap
two with a nine· second cushion over Osmo.
The Grace Performance/MCR Suspension
Suzuki rider put his head down and closed the
gap on the leader, Woodring. Wilson was third,
but he was getting big pressure from Gundlach
and Jake Ederer, who were both looking to
improve their position. At the white flag, it was
to check out the carnage. With the white flag
out, Gallegher had a sizable lead and Ross
was holding second. Alvarez had a glimmer of
hope when Ross again went down, but he was
able to recover before the tiring Alvarez could
capitalize on the mistake.
At the finish, Gallegher took a solid win
over Ross, with Alvarez in third.
Other honorable mentions included Joey
Lane in the Four-Stroke class and Pasha
Afshar in the Vet class, both beginning a
streak of two solid wins they hope will last
throughout the new year's points series.

ROSARITO BEACH, BC, MEXICO, MAR. 5
At round one of the Too Much Fun Beach
Series, David Gallegher smoked the competition in the 250cc Novice division and Jeff Surwall narrowly aced the 250cc Pro class. Due
to the monsoon·type conditions, the normal
program and festivities were abbreviated
somewhat to a one-moto format.
Brent Gilliam pulled the holeshot in the
combined Expert/Pro moto, with Billy McClintock and Surwall in tow. McClintock and Surwall moved quickly around 125cc rider
Gilliam. McClintock pulled out a small margin
of two seconds on Surwall. By the end of lap
one, McClintock's lead had not changed, but
Surwall was making his presence known.

Cantamar Sand Dunes: Billy McClintock sailed to second in the Pro division at the
opening round of the Too Much Fun Beach Series in Rosarito Beach in Mexico.
On lap two, Surwall began making his
move.
"I could get right up on him," Surwall said,
"but I couldn't see from the roost."
Due to the rain earlier that morning, the
Cantamar Beach sand was sticking quite well
to the riders' goggles, among other things.
McClintock rode smart and seemed oblivious to
what Surwall was doing. Surwall charged on,
but by the white flag he still was unable to overtake McClintock. Surwall's chance came when
McClintock overcooked the embankment in a
tricky S-turn section and Surwall stuffed his
Honda 250 on the inside. McClintock attempted
but was unable to regain his position on the
next long straight. McClintock stayed glued to
Surwall's rear fender to the checkers. Overall it
was Surwall, McClintock and Gilliam.
In the 250cc Novice division, there were a
few first· timers contesting the technical sand
circuit, but Caesar Alvarez was the one with
the holeshot, over Randy Ross and Gallegher.
The theme of the day seemed to be very
apparent after the first few laps: The rider to
make the least amount of mistakes would win
the race. The first mistake came when Alvarez
went down in a corner, giving the advantage
to Ross. The next victim of the deep Cantamar
sand whoops was Ross. Both front·runners
had gone down and Gallegher assumed the
lead and never looked back. Riding a smart
race, Gallegher pulled out a convincing lead at
the end of the second lap.
The next three laps proved to be very
interesting for Alvarez and Ross. On each lap,
they would swap positions when one or the
other would fall. At one point, Ross made a
quick detour around the fallen Alvarez and
took out one of the many signs, looking back
still Woodring's, but Osmo was now only four
seconds back. The battle for third was also a
barn burner, with Ederer putting the moves on
Gundlach in the left-hand sweeper heading up
the start hill to grab the advantage. With three
turns to go, Osmo was nibbling at Woodring's
rear wheel, but he couldn't make the pass.
Woodring took the moto win and the overall.
Wilson was third, with Ederer right behind but
without a way to pass. Wilson (4-3) earned
third overall. Gundlach (3-5) secured fourth,
and Ederer (8-4) was fifth on the day.
