At the green flag, Cycle Gear-sponsored Cal Rayborn got the holeshot with
Rob Mesa close behind. Midway through the first lap, Rayborn led Mesa,
with Steve Rapp, Joe Brett Williams, and Doug DeRyke following. By lap
3, Williams had passed Rapp for third, but was being caught quickly by
Geep Terranova. On lap 4, Terranova was shadowing Williams. But
Terranova tried too hard, and he crashed in the chicane on lap 4. He was
uninjured.
As the top 4 positions spread out, the battle was for fifth between Tom
Aquino, Jesse Broadway, and Glenn Filshie. On lap 7, Filshie was in
fifth in front of Broadway coming out of the Carousel (turn 6), but
Broadway regained the lead in turn 7. On the very next lap, Aquino
passed them both and held on to fifth.
During the first half of the race, Mesa was right on Rayborn's tail and
it appeared that Mesa might give Rayborn a run for his money. But that
was not to be, as Rayborn began to pull away from Mesa to an uncontested
win - his fourth in the Braking Formula Pacific series.

Congratulations to Terry Vogel for winning her first race in 250
Production. She led for the first time in the last race at Thunderhill
and now tastes victory for the first time. She was also the highest-
finishing four stroke in the 250 Superbike race.
The 450 Superbike race showed that you have to finish to win. After a
red flag for a crash in turn 3, Guy Celestre jumped to an early lead over
Darrell Parker (of 600 Production protest fame). On the second lap,
Celestre appeared to have a problem with the shift linkage exiting the
chicane, and he quickly fell back. Parker was handed a huge lead but
fell victim to mechanical gremlins. He said the bike just died.
In Formula 40, Tom Aquino had the early lead over Gary Jaehne. Jaehne
was close behind, though, and tried to pass on lap 2 going into turn 11.
On the penultimate lap, Jaehne finally got past Aquino and held onto the
lead, but just barely, in a photo-finish.
In 600 Superbike, Tom "The Rocker" Montano did a little lawn-mowing in
the Carousel when Akiharu Shigeno closed the door and he tried to slow
to avoid hitting Shigeno. Montano straightened up, but was going too
fast towards the outside. He braked to slow down, but he hit the grass
and crashed. He and the bike appeared to be uninjured and Tom was able
to compete later in the day and take 2nd in 600 Production.
Great battles:
James Lickwar, Dan Reeser and Bill Brinkerhoff in 650 Twins. Fletcher
Wilson and Gary Jaehne in Open Production.
Hard luck stories of the day:
Dave Colbert was leading the Formula III race when it was red-flagged.
In the restart, Colbert got a poor start and was only able to claim
second.
Greg Prinsze had just passed Todd Hoeft for second in Formula I when the
red flag came out a lap later. Since the race was past the halfway
point, scoring reverted to the previous lap and Prinsze was scored as
finishing third.
Mike Summers, perennial Formula 40 and 650 Twins leader, decided by
Sunday morning that he would not compete in Formula 40 to save his bike
(and his body) for 650 Twins competition. Unfortunately, his bike
suffered one its extremely rare mechnical failures, and he was unable to
compete in 650 Twins.
P.S. Len Padilla finished 7th in 650 Twins

The rule book is pretty clear on this - although I don't have it handy.
I was in Scoring when Greg came up and asked Paddy about it. According
to her lap charts (and mine), Greg finished 3rd.
Assuming the race was stopped while the leaders were on lap 5, much of
the riders on the track were on lap 4, so scoring would revert to the
previous complete lap: lap 3.

the rulebook states as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------
rule 7.1.2
When a Red flag is displayed, all riders shall STOP
immediately as is safe and remain stopped until oth-
erwise directed by a Race Official.
a) In the event of a red flag situation, the leader must
have completed at least four laps for the race to
be considered complete. Scoring will revert back
to the previous, completely scored lap. A comp-
pletely scored lap is defined as from when the
leader passes the Finish line until the rider be-
fore the leader or new leader passes the Finish
line.

that order) at the completion of lap 4. The red flag came out half way
through lap 5, they were between turn 7 and 8 when the race was stopped.
For some reason the results were taken from the end of lap 3 when Hoeft
was still in second place. Despite vociferous protests the results were
not changed, the scorers claiming that the race was stopped during lap
4. The incident that ended the race may have ocurred during lap 4 but
there were certainly no flags at start finish at that time and it is
inconceivable that all 3 riders could make it all the way to turn 8
without seeing waving black and red flags if this was indeed so. Can
anyone explain how the rules can be interpreted such as to go back to
the end of lap 3? It may seem trivial but the points may end up being
important at the end of the season.

From what I hear, Terranova tried an outside pass on Joe Brett in turn 11,
caught his brake lever on JB's leathers, had it cleaned off, and didn't
notice it until he went to brake for the chicane.

Rob said that Rayborn was having trouble with his steering damper mount
(it came loose on the forktube), but Cal quickly adapted his riding to the
problem and picked up the pace.
He also said that it seemed that Rayborn was less affected by the large
volume of hay deposited in the chicane by Terranova than he was -- another
reason Cal got away.

Serg, Serg, Serg... and to think that you break bread with Gary every
Monday night. Well, were just going to see to it that you spend more
time riding your bike than driving your car. And perhaps this way,
you too will learn the difference between them. (8-}

p.s. Say "Hi" to Jean for me.
p.s.s. Course having ridden with Gary, I have no doubt that he *could*
give a 900rr a good run for its' money on his CB1 (&->

A few years ago a similar controversy erupted. At that time, they
reworded the definition of "complete" to mean when the LAST rider
passes Start/Finish.
