Lookout 125 Sportsmen 'cause Burt Wald is back in the action at Saddleback. It was his first race since his Suzook came unglued yet he roosted on his main competitors Jeff Wilson, Rich Reveles and Kevin Harlow for the 125 Junior win.
Wald is one of the most radical Juniors around, he whips it over the jumps with his tongue in his cheek while his Jof a mouth protector flies in the air. He was just startin' to cook when his bearing and the rest of his engine went to pot, but today he got his act back together.The first place action started off in the hands of Mission Honda racer Jeff Wilson. His screamin' Elsinore streaked out in front in the first moto and was dustin' everyone, Wald began zapping one guy after another till he had second place in line. The DG Performance Specialties people were out to grab the trophies today and they set Keven Harlow up to win this class. They were experimenting with compression on his Elsinore and the machine was really screamin' but ended up third this time.
In the second 20 minute moto Harlow was bootin', Wilson was following while Wald must of had problems 'cause he was snuffed back into third. In the final go they all missed out and let some one else capture the win, Wald ended up with the excellent Majestic first place trophy and nipped out Jeff Wilson, Rich Reveles on a Yamaha and Kevin Harlow.
