which was a far cry from his personal
track record of 16.89 set in the summer
of 1983. fay paced the way in the

fay was on a roll when the Experts
lined up for their Trophy Dash. National number holders John Wincewicz (Lou Kinish Triumph) and
fTank WOI"d III (Adams Cycle Triumph) chased fay all the way to the
flag, but could do liule at stopping
the former Team Honda rider. fay
would go on to dominate the entire
evening - the Trophy Dash was just
a start. After watching Carr clobber
the Junior Dash with ease, Novice
contestants III ian and Roose paved
the way for a few laps of stirring
action. Roose took over on the second
lap, but JUSt as in the main, the win
would go to lilian's 500 Honda.
Hannegan Speedway has been experimenting with a dog-leg section
sinceTT has hit a high level of popularity in the Northwest. The section
was rough and dry, thanks to the
rain, and it was decided by officials to
omit theTT section and run a straight
quarter-mile oval. Carr LOok the track
much LO his liking and won the fastest Junior heat race in preliminaries.
Fay did a similar disappearing act in
the Expert showdown while Word
LOok the semi LO make up the final
line-up for the Expert main.
Most of the Novices had· yet LO
compete on a blue-groove track, and
many had their share of problems
navigating the track. Those who
didn't have problems included III ian
and Roose, who were 1-2 going down
the straight on the opening lap of
Novice competition. Roose took over
shortly thereafter, while Billy Taylor
(Yam 250), .lack "Bugsy" Booth (CA) and Casper, Wyoming-'s frank Latimer rode in the top five positions.
Things were going' smooth in the
what was supposed LO be a JO-Iap
main until Kawasaki pilot John l:ira,
- while trying to maneuver around
lappers - took a tumble through the
retaining wall, and the race was redflagged. The final finish order was
lilian, who worked past Roose, Taylor and Booth in the top four. Latimer and Idaho's Ricky Henson (Yam)
finished fifth and sixth LO finalize the
Novice main.
Idaho's Rodney Reynolds (Hondasupport) led' the start of the Junior
main event on his 600 Honda, and it
looked like the Boise-based rider
would repeat his Boise TT Regional
win. WashingLOn's own bright hope
Terry Wahl (C-A) had other ideas,
and bumped Reynolds out of the lead
on lap two and blistered into the lead.
Behind them, a pack bauled for third
consisting of Frank Crane Jr. (Hon),
Carr (W-R) and Californian Danny
McDonnell (Hon). Carr moved past
Crane into third at the halfway point
in the IS-lap main event, and set his
sights on the leaders, Wahl and Reynolds. Reynolds proved LO be no
match for Carr, as Carr went inside in
the loose turf to put a sensational
pass on Reynolds. Carr's next target.
wasn't so easy. Wahl put Carr into
the runner-up position for another
six laps when Carr went by and took
the win over Wahl, when the CanAm rider sli pped off the groove. Reynolds finished it fine third ahead of
Crane, McDonnell, Brian McGonigal (KTM) and Ryan fisher (C-A).
Wincewicz launched his 750 off the
line after initial troubles gelling the
12 finalists staged for the Experts'
20-lap final. Announcer Fred Boettner
got the fans, numbering over '1500,
standing in a frenzy when the Experts
were unleashed with Wincewicz blurring into turn one ahead of National
number 74 Mike Sullivan (Hon) and
