Bruce Sanford’s Southern California Flat Track
Association
Flat Track Racing
Round #3 • Perris Raceway, Perris • May 23, 2004
BY JAMEY BLUNT
Jerry and Grace Burton the
original owners of Perris
Raceway created the best TT-
Scrambles race track in California. For that matter in the world, at least to
me! What you have there today is two superb motocross tracks, and a newly added
1/6 mile oval covering part of the old rough scrambles track. The force these
days at Perris is Freddy Edwards, an ex-flat tracker himself, so it was only
natural he build an oval. Edwards mans the grader himself to ensure the 93
participants on this day had the best racing surface possible. Seventeen heat
races were put to bed and the track regroomed for the first of the main events
by 1:20 in the afternoon.
A growing class is the Men’s XR-100. Heat race winner Larry Spektor sat on pole
as the green flag waved, but Don Fraunberger nailed the start followed by Vince
Graves, Spektor, Andy Wood, and Danny Perez who wheeled half way to turn one.
Fraunberger led for two laps till Graves showed him a wheel entering turn one,
and then went past for the lead down the back straight. Once up front Graves
turned a 15.36 sec. lap trying to get away. By lap four Spektor got around
Fraunberger for second but was eight bike lengths back of Graves. When the
checkered flag came out Spektor had to settle for second as Graves was gone,
Fraunberger always smiling took third.
One of the most contested classes is the Vet, where riders are over the age of
35 on any machine of their choice. Heat race winner Jeff “Jester” Johnson
wheeled for the fans entering the track only to loop it over backwards, and then
bow to the crowd. On the first start Woody Carlson went down causing a re-start.
This time Simi Valley Kawasaki’s John Lundgren lead into turn one with Johnson
stuffing it up the inside. Mr. Ed’s Joe Steffen not wanting Johnson to get away
shot past Lundgren with Tom Horton following suit, which put Lundgren back to
fourth. Four laps in and Johnson couldn’t shake Steffen as these two separated
from the field. Horton was in third all by himself (on a Triumph yet) with
Lundgren fourth now feeling pressure from Richard Pollock and Steve Miller.
Johnson would go on to win with a best lap time of 14.12 seconds with Steffen a
very close second.
Some performances worthy of mention came in the Classic Vintage race where Tom
Horton on a beautiful Montesa held off the charges of Bruce Reynolds equal fully
fine Bultaco for this brakeless victory. Also to say Larry Smith 111 has
improved since we last saw him is an understatement. Larry on only a 65cc
machine is in the 15 second lap time bracket.
The Bomber class is huge, with all the weapons being Yamaha 500’s in one
configuration or another. Joe Steffen lead the hungry pack into turn one with
Ron Moore, Steve Miller, Richard Pollock, and Richard Hutchins nipping at his
heels. Steffen knowing this was a tough class tried to get away early while
Miller was pressuring Moore slowing them both down allowing for this to happen.
Further back in the pack Brad Rudy on a newly acquired Yamaha (nice, really
nice!) was working his way forward from the second row. Lap four saw Moore under
pressure have problems and pull out, advancing Miller to second and Pollock to
third. At the front Steffen had opened up a full straight away lead and turned a
14.82 sec. lap. Miller would go on to finish second with Pollock third and Rudy
climbing up to fourth on the final go round.
Craig Johnson had the fastest time of the day at 13.46 seconds in route to the
Pro class heat race victory. But fastest doesn’t always mean first, as the Pro
Main would attest to. Johnson on a new Honda 450 was pulling low altitude
maneuvers, but it was Southland Racing’s Alex Wood on his C&J framed Honda who
led into turn one at the start. Wood like Dresden China was flawless; he needed
to be as one mistake would have cost him the win. While Johnson hounded Wood,
Richard Pollock did the same to Johnson. Shaun Larkin looking very smooth ran
fourth with Jim “Jumper” Rosa on a borrowed bike in fifth. Woods’ fastest lap of
13.84 seconds came just after the halfway point as Johnson continually showed
him a wheel. Wood however continued on unfazed, showing great maturity and poise
under pressure. Two laps from the finish Johnson almost threw it all away
between turns one and two trying to get under Wood. When the checkered flag came
out Wood had held his ground, Johnson was second, Pollock a straight away back
was third, and Larkin was closing in fourth.
Thus closed a great day of racing at this great new facility. Sanford has also
said there will be an awards banquet at the end of the 2004 season where awards,
product, and a picnic will be served up.
