It looked [ike a sure win for Tracy when he got too far sideways coming out of tum four on the last lap and Salyers whipped' under him for a photo fmish win. The run off for first was between Koemans and Martin. These two hadn't faced each other in many weeks and the crowd was up for the race. The first two laps were anybody's guess as Koemans ' got the gate from the pole. But an error that moved him outside in turn two let Martin get under and Max never got by. Short trackin ' at Pioneer By Ann Carr OAKDALE, CAL., AUG. 21 Pioneer's short track was almost too good this evening as a smooth ' course greeted 164 racers. Craig (don't call me Wyatt) Scroggins returned from the pro wars to take the 360 Expert first over weekly ace Carl Yerby. Craig survived a shaky heat where he got used to Dennis Huff's Bul and went on to a convincing win. Carl gained a firm hold on high point honors with the second. Meanwhile Dave Faria also gained some breathing room in the 250 Expert ranks where he and Kim Jorgensen battled with -Dave winning. These two sported a straightaway lead over third place finisher Dennis Huff.

Mike Wilson jumped .to second after young James Mason faded Uames has been off for a year with injuries) and Bill Arbogast moved up to third. Doug Chandler was in his usual spot up front taking his fifth consecutive win in this class. Pebble Beach man Jim Cunningham captured his first Oakdale win in the 100 race as he beat out Chandler in the heat and Doug's bike failed in the Main.

Mike Freeman, after, clearing the two downed riders, spun out. Chris Sauer pulled the holeshot in the restart. In second was John Williams followed by Jim Hubbard and Moural. Hubbard, charging hard, grabbed second in the first lap while Moural, not to be denied, too k over third. From then on it was a three-way battle between Sauer, Hubbard and Moural for first.

Larry Weik and Doug Reswig moved into second and third respectively. That's how they went to the checkered flag with barely a bike length separating them.
