FULL NIGHT OF
ORANGE CO.
RACING
ORANGE CO., Cal.•, Sept. 4 - Mark
Kruse on his 100cc Bultaco was able to
maintain his dominance of the 100cc flattrack events, winning both the Trophy
Dash and the MaIn Event Wednesday
night, but with some difficulty. A brand
new rider to short tracking at Orange
County, Wayne Hosaka (Hodaka) and last
year's 100cc champion, Russ Robinson,
gave Mark all the competition he could
handle In the Main. Wayne got by Mark
several times and led the eventfor short
periods, but Mark was able to recapture
the lead, finishing In first place, with
Wayne In second and Russ In third.
Since the 100cc class Is now competing on
Castle Rock
windup
By J .K. Lacey
CASTLE ROCK, wasn., Aug. 31 - On a
cool windless night the Mt. St. Helens
M.C. finished their Class C racing season with a 3-Star TT on their famous
Fairgrounds track. With the National at
San Jose the following day entries were
down some but that certainly didn't deter
from the evening's events as these races
were probably the best we've seen all
year.
Novice a ction saw Trophy Dash winner
and the Washington State Novice point
leader Squlre Tomasle win the Main with
a wlre-ta-wlre ride but It wasn't a runaway as was the Dash . Bill Elder (H-D)
and Jack Mott (BSA) were as one thru-out
the race never more than a few lengths
behind the unconcerned Tomasie (Bill),
and when Mott finally passed Elder he put
the pressure on Tomasle but the laps
ran out. Only feet separated the trio as
they crossed the line, a fine ending to the
Novice careers of these three who, next
year, will return todo battle as Amateurs.
Last L ap Ultimatum
In the Amateur go Trophy Dash winner
Jimmy Jones (Trl) did the deed In the
MaIn but that race was something else.
Steve Holton grabbed the lead with Jones
second, Ike Reed (Tri) third . Lap seven
of twelve and suddenly Reed dives under
both of them and builds up a small lead,
and two laps later Jones pushes past
Holton. Jones, Amateur to beat at Castle
the quarter-mile course, the competition
has been steadily Increasing over the last
few weeks . This Is evidenced by the
Increase In the crowd and also by the
.
pay-off going to the riders.
In the 250cc class, Randy Ellis was
able to capture the Trophy Dash but was
not quite so fortunate In the Main Event,
with Stan Rogers coming out #1 and
Randy In second place. In the top six
finishing positions, two gentlemen from
the east coast, Bob MaIers and John
Zwerlcan, both on Harley-Davldsons,
finished in third and sixth spots, respectlvely. They had some gratifying comments regarding our short trackers,
since they didn't know the fellows out
here could ride the quarter- mile as well
as they do. Dave Aldana finished fourth,
Dave Lenar fifth.
Aldana Outdoes ' Em
In the 100cc TT event, Dave Aldana
fared much better than In the short track,
winning both the Trophy Dash and the
MaIn Event. The Main was a repeat of
the 100cc short track event, with Wayne
Hosaka finishing second and Russ Robinson in third spot.
Rock, really put his taients to work closIng on Reed and caught the ' 'Salem Flea"
by the yellow flag lap. Out of the last
corner they charged , Jones down under
Reed high but with a straight shot to th~
flag; then here comes Jones, letting him self drift out so that there Is only one
path to the finish, his path, and Reed had
the choice of the fence or let off. He
chose the latter, Jones won, Holton third .
The 250cc TT Trophy Dash was wonby
a rider we haven't seen for quite some
time, R.W. Ring on a Husqvarna who
came up from San Diego. He took the
Dash but had trouble in the Main and was
a DNF. Finishin g . In first spot In the
250cc TT Main was John Sprague on a '
Bultaco. Dave Aldana was second on his
Ossa and Jim Peterson (Kawasaki ) finIshed third.
In the 500cc and open TT event, Dave
Lenar on a BSA captured the Trophy
Dash, but had some problems in the Main
and did not finish. The Open Main Event
wne to Jim Peter s on on a Triumph. Right
behind Jim was Jerry Moriarty on a
Triumph, and, to the s ur pr is e of many,
In third place and doing an excellent job
was Ray Vander pool on a 350cc Yamaha.
Ray had to ride back to back in the 250cc
TT as well as the Open TT, finishing
sixth on a 250 Yamaha, and then getti ng
on his 350cc to ride In the Open Main and
finished in third place.
Next Wednesday night, spectators as
well as riders, can look forward to another Interesting night of racing at
Orange County Speedway.

Foggy Finals
Fog was rolling In as the Novice hash
finished so Ref. Dave Welsch called the
Expert Main to the line . During the 15lap event one could look across the track
and see only grey shapes as the Experts
vie d, but towards the last the fog lifted
s omewhat and the show took on a different form . Fir s t Into the corner was
Harley mounted Emil Ahola, hotly pursued by T.L . Hoglan (Nor ), Dan Holton
(Trl), and Harold Schnitzer (Trl) . Peoria
third pla ce finisher Sonny Burres lay
back in seventh. Ahola charged on, showIng great form throwing the Harley
around and certainly enjoying himself,
while In the pack Holton got by Hoglan
into second and T.L. slipped further Into
fourth as Burres SUddenly got with It
passing Dave Grout (Trl) and Schnitzer
then Hoglan. Holton and Burres contested each other for the remainder of
the race, closing on Ahola, but It ended
that way, Emil with the win.
So brings the close of another season,
a thoroughly enjoyable one as the races
by the Mt. St. Helens M.C. are always
goodies and very seldom end In a parade
type event.
