Ca ,20_1 The former Arizona rider, who now lives in Southern California, lost his Heat race Friday night but came back to take the Trophy' Dash and a victory in the 15 lap Final for the first time this year. • Like many of the Ascot rookies each year, LaPlante found the going rough early this season. Mechanical troubles-, over-riding spills that cost him money and the usual first year mistakes kept him from the limelight. But Friday night Brian came into his own on the Bob. Donabedian Triumph and pu t together two near perfect rides in the Dash and Final to come up the winner. He clocked the third fastest time trial behind Terry Dorsch and Tom Rockwood. But, it was a second place in the Heat behind Rex Barratt. In the Dash it was Bingo over Rob Morrison, Dorsch and Rockwood.. Barratt led the first lap of the Final but gave way to the fast improving Morrison on lap two. Rob kept the Nor!on in front until lap seven, when LaPlante took over. Morrison dropped out on the next lap with engine troubles. Barratt also turned in his best ride of the season, and held a frrm second all the way to the finish. Mike Renslow made i, one-three for Triumph, with his most impressive au ting this season. Point leader, DeWaune Keeter, had a long night With a fourth in the Heat, second in the Semi and an eventual fourth in tb..e.... Final Dorsch and Rockwood rounded au t the rest of the fron t runners. Chuck Soderstrom, the latest in the long line of new Novice winners, made it win number two on the season. Chuck raced his Yamaha in for the Heat win and then did a repeat in the Final. Both rides were near perfect. Another name that keeps climbing higher each week in the Iigh tweigh t division is Scott Marshall. This week it was a Heat race win and a strong second in the Final. Debbie Reon crashed for the second straight week. Last week it was in the Main event. This time it was a front row start in the Heat and an early bail off, again in the south tUrn in nearly the identical spot from the previous week. RESULTS - 15 LAP BIG BIKE FINAL: 1.
