COEUR D' ALENE, 10, AUG. 30
Yamaha rider Lowell Thompson Jr., Honda-mounted Todd
Sommers and Ron Yamamoto
took Huetter three-eighth-mile
flat track wins at the last race of the
1984 season. Thompson took wins in
the 80cc Expert and 125cc A mains
with Sommers getting the 500cc and
Open A main laurels. The last three
races of the season in the evening's
program saw Yamamoto triple with
500cc Open Expert and Pop Triber
Memorial race wins.
Thompson tackled the80cc Experts,
bauling to the wire with class dena'minatorTroy Hedge(Yam). Thompson, in a rare appearance, had little
trouble taking the close win over
Hedge. Both riders came back on
Yamaha water-pumpers to lead a full
field of 125s. Billy Lenz (Hon) joined
the front runners and made up iI
three-way swapfest for first. Thompson held the duo off for his double
demolition award. Lenz took second
and. Hedge third.
Yamamoto, Tony Cruickshank,
Arney Wick, Richie Haymal.l (Hon
600) and Rod Ginn (Hon) led the
opening laps of the final Expert
main, the Open class, of the season in
the Idaho panhandle. Yamamoto rode
in a similar fashion of what took him
across the line first at last week's
Idaho mile. Cruickshank and Wick
dueled as they have many, many
times and finished 2-3.
Yamamoto had one final task - a
task never previously accomplished,
a win in the 20-lap, 22-rider Pop
Triber Memorial.
