Craig Ayer s (Yam), Giesick at Caldwell indooor short track By Marty Gregory CALDWELL, In, FE B. 12 T he fifth race of the Owyhee Motorcycle C lub's seven event in door short track series played to a packed h o u se to n ight, a nd th e capacity cro wd was treated to some real elbow-to-el bow action by 125 p lus eager racers . Winding up on top in the Expert main events were T odd Giesick (Yam) in the 250cc and Boise's Dan Atkinson (H o n ) in the Open. Atkinson is back in action after an injury-forced retirement from Class C competition and, if his pe rformance at Ca ldwell is any indica tion , will again be a force to be reckoned with. . Short track racing being what it is, a go od showing in th e h eat races didn 't always mean a win in th e main. Expert class motocrosser Steve Henry, making his track racing debut aboard a 125 KT M, won his heat with ease and style, but kept missing gears in the I25cc Begi nner main. Stev e got another chance in the 250cc B event and promptly crashed his way out of contention in the first turn . Bob Carlberg (H us) wound up winning the race over Curt Dice and J erry Anderson . The same 125cc KTM Henry had used proved lu cky for desert racer Ro n " Magic" Dillon in the Expert final. This was an exciting race with Cycl e Nuts 'N Bo lts rider Pet e Keller (Hon) taking an early lead, o n ly to get bumped back, back and back; winding up sixth. Keller 's teammate Dan Lees too k second to Dill on. ' The 250cc Expert main required five tries to get off the line. Denny Lee (Ya m) and whi te p late Todd Giesick (Yam) too k turns lead in g the res tarts with Giesick finally getting th e jump in the o ne that cou nted. Hard ri di n ' Jerry Moore (Han ) put on a fine show to recoup from h is back row start (yes , he had j u m p ed the light) and wind up a money-payi ng th ird over a talent-laden field including Danny Atkinson, Kelly Perk ins , J ean Marie Breau (all th e way fro m Alberta, Canada), John Colton and others. • SAN CTION ED .
