Jef Harriott brought out a new 400 Yamaha Mono-shocker too see what he could do in the Open class, but Jef is soooo light for such a big machine. Molletta photo.

CMC has got to have the best racing around. A super-prepared track, extra large Grade A turnout of riders, and a $1,500 purse helped keep things that way. With such a large purse there was an ample turnout of Experts.
It looked like the Who's Who of Southern California racing. Jim Weinert, Jim West, Rex Staten, Gary Semics, Tommy Croft, Gary Jones, and Gaylon Mosier-just to name a few. The 250 class had to run qualifiers due to an unexpected 48 rider turnout. Read More...
AMC-MX at O.C.I.R.
Ken Welford looks a bit stunned by the photographers strobe. You shouldn't be looking at the camera when you are racing or these things will happen. Corley photo.

Contrary to what alot of racers thought, the OCIR track was not a mudbath. I almost didn't van out to the race tonight because I kind of thought that it would be rained out myself. So then I got the brilliant idea to call up the racing office at (714) 559-0580, when the recording said some thing like "The track looks fine tonight for AMC racing" well then I knew that things were cool. But for all you racers who ever have doubts of whether or not there is going to be a race just call the all new HOT LINE that the Southern California Motocross has now at (213) 762-MOTO. Read More...
CMC-MX at Irwindale Raceway
This tricky double exposure finds Joe Johnston getting radical off the jumps at Irwindale while it looks like Dave Taylor and Ray Lopez are haunting him from the 125 Pro class. Photo by Buzz.

Lawrence of Irwindale did it again! The YMBB Lawrence, however, had to do it the hard way tonight. Running second to Rob Zamora in the first moto, Mark waited until the last lap and the last corner to make his pass, and did it going around the outside of Zamora to take the win. That was to be Mark's best finish of the night. Moto two found Mark and his Crown Cycle Yamaha flip flopping around on the ground with four of five other bikes and riders about fifty yards out from the starting gate. Mark's brake handle was busted off and unrepairable, but he rode motos two and three, making the restart in moto two, and finishing second to the win of Doug Anderson, ending up the night getting third in the final moto behind Vince Van Hook and third moto winner, Lance Bryson. When you consider that Mark rode the final two motos without front brakses, that ain't too shaggy a showing for the YMBB. I'm not sure if this win puts Mark into the Expert Pro category, but if it doesn't, he's so close that the next win will surely do it. When you leave the 125 Intermediate class, you get in with those, literally screaming, time-bombs, that are the 125 Pros. Read More...
