Before Tony Schumacher made what is now dubbed "The Run" of all time, Joe Amato clinched the title from Gary Ormsby at Pomona in 1990....battle went to the finals, last run of the day...it was a tight points battle, Ormsby smoked em and Amato clinched the title. Amato later proclaimed had he known Gary Ormsby was quietly battling terminal cancer, he'd have given him the win and the championship.
