overall, and so their hopes of second overall went away. Virginia Breeze snatched fourth overall in the championship out of the hands of DAK Racing by finishing fourth at Road Atlanta; Virginia Breeze ends the season with 824.50 points, while DAK, who struggled to 11th overall today, finishes with 823.38 points. Chuck and Susan Warren's Arclight Racing II finished eighth overall, first in Middleweight Production, barely nine laps down on the leaders. They secured seventh overall in the points standings, and were second behind Pearls in Middleweight Production. R.A. Racing was ninth, and Nicholson's Ann Arbor rounded out the top 10. Beast ~acing edged out Royale Racing for 12th overall and the Middleweight Superbike class victory. Royale Racing, though, secured the 1992 Middleweight Superbike series title by virtue of their 772 points, and also earned sixth overall in the standings. "We won the first race of the year, and I thought we won the last. That's kind of cool," said a happy' Royale Racing team owner / captain Doug Henry. "We never crashed all season, the bike was perfect, and everything went well." The start of the race saw Kurt Hall put the Team Suzuki bike into the lead, but Fritz Kling and the Gold Hill bike were not far behind. Kling and Hall went at it for a while until Kling pulled slightly ahead. Team Suzuki, however, was uncon-, cerned about Kling. They knew that Gold Hill would have to stop for fuel every 35 minutes or so, and Team Suzuki could stretch their stops past the hour mark. Team Suzuki soon learned that they <;ouldn't run over the hour-and-l0minute mark, as they ran out of gas. Hall was a lap up at the time, and he switched to reserve, and brought the bike in. Martin got on but only completed five or six laps. before the oil cooler broke, and he eased into the pits. Martin waited in the pits until the TSE-ll bike was scheduled to pit around the two-hour mark. At that point, Martin boarded the bike, which was a lap down to Gold Hill Racing. Meanwhile, Red Hot Racing was leading Middleweight Superbike until after the halfway point, when the team's Yamaha FZR600 threw a chain. They ended up finishing 33rd overall. By the end of his hour long stint, Martin had closed the gap on Gold Hill to 15 secoIJ.ds, and Hall would take the lead in the final hour while Gold Hill was in the pits. tN One good turn deserves another... 1992 MOTORCYCLE MADNESS ON PRIME NETWORK (WS8 denotes World Superbike Series; WGP denotes World Grand Prix; AMA denotes AMA National Road Race Series) Air Date Event/Venue Oct. 1 Oct. 8 Oct. 15 Oct. 22 Oct. 29 Nov. 5 AMA - Mid Ohio WGP - Brazil WGP - South Africa AMA- TexasWorld AMA - Texas World WGP - Season Review Air Date Event/Venue Nov. 12 Nov. 19 Dec. 3 Dec. 10 Dec. 17 Dec. 24 Dec. 31 WERA G.N.F. - Road Atlanta EI Super Prestigio - Spain WSB - Japan WSB - Holland WSB - Malaysia WSB - Australia WSB - New Zealand Check locoilistings for event times and dotes in yoor area. 4fHONDA Come ridE with US.
