Keeter turned back Randy Scott, Gene Romero, Gary Scott, and Terry Dorsch in the opening heat race. Moore had the second heat won until the final lap _but still rmished a close second behind John Hateley. Then the two, Keeter on a Harley, Moore on a Triumph, proceeded to pu t it on the boys in the final and run one-two right from the opening lap. Rookie Tom Horton was the only challenger, moving by Moore for second midway in the race but dropping out of the event a lap later. Keeter, who has never won a big one, looked super smooth in the wannup for the National "biggie" coming up next week. DeWayne is considered the Ascot "resident racer" who seldom strays from home base and a rider to guide on anything one is racing at Ascot. The race for third was decided on the final lap with Gary Scott passingMert Lawwill for the sj>ow position. Scott Brelsford held off the closing Tom Rockwood for the number five spot. Hateley had ignition troubles at the start and was never a contender. Gennai Clinches Junior Title Super. Junior, John Gennai, after beating the Experts a week ago and selling a new track record, wheeled his . Triumph to another pair of easy wins in both the Junior heat and final. Gennai was easily the fastest qualifier and Jield off early lap bids by Yamaha mounted Danny Hockie to win the ten lap final. Along with the win came the region three Junior title for the year'Challenger for the title, Allen Mundt . from Portland was down to try for the throne and turned in a good second place ride in the heat race but dropped out of the final early. Bob Sanders edged Devon Sowell for the number three Finish Spot. Bruce Hanlon turned in the fastest Novice heat race win but Skip Aksland won all the money. Aksland, the Novice who has re-written the Ascot record books this season, came from the back in his heat to win at the finish line. In the rmal Tom Berry led the first three laps before giving way to Aksland. As AkSland moved out and away the battle for second shaped up between Berty and Hanlon. On the last lap it was Hanlon back in second, dropping the former poin t leader down to a third place finish this w~ek. A broken axle caused a three rider crash'in the. Junior semi. The front axle on Mike Clarke's machine gave way going into the far turn in the middle of the event. Clarke, Mike Myers and Tom Clark all three went sailing into the hay bales. All three walked away but Mike Clarke was hospitalized with a -possible broken wrist... the week before Ontario. Keeter led for almost the entire distance. Gennai clinched the Junior Regional title.
