Article by Jamey Blunt
Clear
skies and warmer
temperatures greeted the riders for round seven, as well as a perfectly
groomed
race track. Johnny Murphree, Jared Mees, Shaun Russell, and Steve
Murray were
all in transit from LAX having made the trip from
Twenty four riders
fought for
one of twelve spaces in the A&A Racing/Saddleman Vet "A" main
event. Mike Vital shot to the front off the line with Joe Steffen, Gary
Evans,
Bill Kolkman, and Mike O'Neil in tow. On lap two Kolkman made a run
down the
back straight that carried him all the way to the front by turn three.
Craig
Johnson ran sixth, James Kessler seventh and Dave Ehrhart on the move
in
eighth. By lap five Kolkman on a mission had broken away, Ehrhart was
up to
fifth, and with a last lap push would get by Evans making the finishing
order
Kolkman, Vital, Steffen, Ehrhart, Evans, and O'Neil.
The Megacycle Cams
Super
Senior/Senior Novice class is the Mickey Alzola show. Just when someone
steps
up to the plate and can match the speed of Alzola something always
happens.
Sometimes it's just as good to be lucky as it is to be good. Off the
line,
surprise, Alzola was at the front with Cliff Nagatani by his side. Ken
Barrow
was away in third with Bob Gerberich making the trip west from
There were a few
double winners
over the weekend but only one rider captured four victories. At just
ten years
old Scorpion EXO Helmet's Andre Ochs used his Kawasaki to top the
Motion
Pro/Tuffplates Youth 65cc class, and his Honda to win a hard fought
battle over
Bronson Bauman in the Barnett/Maxima Racing Oils Youth 85cc final.
The K&N
Filters/Works
Performance 500 Support class is made up of Yamaha TT-500 machines,
Mike
O'Neil, Joe Steffen, and Jeff Gonzales all hit turn one three wide with
O'Neil
taking the lead out of turn one by being on the inside line. Steffen
settled in
at second, with Gonzales third, Jay Gosvenor fourth, Wayne Karcich
fifth, and
Jim Steet sixth. Into turn one Steet almost collected himself a hay
bale but
saved it and dropped to ninth. On the next trip through turn four
Gonzales
bobbled and Karcich moved up to third. At the front Steffen turned a
22.52
second lap as he checked out on the field. Lap four saw Gonzales fight
back to
take third from Karcich, who still had some fight in him as well. As
the white
flag came out Joe Brown who had been quietly working his way forward
was now in
sixth where he would stay. Steffen would win by a large margin, with
Gonzales
passing O'Neil twice on the last lap for second only to have O'Neil
putting in
a solid ride take it back for the third time exiting turn four making
the
finishing order Steffen, O'Neil, Gonzales, Karcich, Gosvenor, and
Brown.
A.J. Herrera
launched into the
lead in the Shelly Ward ENT. /Coventry Spares Ltd. Modern 750cc main
event.
Mickey Alzola riding the class for the first time was away in second,
with Jim
Ottele third. Getting pinched off on the outside was Kenny Thiebaud
running a
high line and spectacular to watch as he charged forward. Going around
Horton
who was in third at the time, wide open on the throttle was Thiebaud as
he made
the pass and set off after Herrera. By lap three Alzola was back in
Fifth with
Dave Johnson sixth, and Keith Speir seventh. Lap four had Thiebaud make
a
mistake running his high line costing him valuable real-estate. With
two laps
remaining Horton abandoned the race making the order Herrera, Thiebaud,
Joe
Suebert, Alzola, Ottele, Johnson and Speir. With a lap and a half to go
Suebert
was wide in turn two and took himself out of the race, Thiebaud with
the
fastest lap of 22.42 seconds caught and passed Herrera, who at 22.93
seconds
was fast in his own right. On the final lap Alzola was holding off
Ottele for
third but with only two turns remaining Ottele slipped under Alzola for
third
making the finish Thiebaud, Herrera, Ottele, Alzola, Johnson and Speir.
From the outside
of the front
row P.J. Osmer put his Kawasaki in the lead in the C&J Racing
Frames/San
Diego off Road 250 Open main event. Tony Davila with the fastest heat
race lap
time at 21.96 seconds made short work of Osmer and took over the lead.
Before
the first lap was over Mikey
Fourteen riders
made it through
the four heat races and a semi for the twenty five lap Digger Helm Pro
600 main
event. With the fastest heat race time Johnny Murphree sat on pole,
along side
him were Stevie Bonsey, Jared Mees, Mikey Rush, David Brown, and Shaun
Russell.
Into turn one Murphree and Brown were side by side with Bonsey cutting
underneath in third. Exiting turn two Murphree led with Bonsey putting
Brown
back to third with Mees and Russell right behind. Entering turn three
for the
first time Mees and Russell both shot past Brown and went after Bonsey.
Entering turn one Bonsey made a mistake and went wide giving Mees an
easy pass,
which he took. Mikey Rush ran fifth, Steve Murray sixth, Brown back to
seventh,
and Nicky
