"( lost a couple of thousand bucks, but what tbe hell, we had to have a track championship, didn't we?" said ever-philosophic promoter Jim Naylor. The decider came in event 22 where the so-far unbeaten Moran and Lance King went head-to-head. Moran got the gate, held the inside line, and that was the title, as well as King's only loss during his '84 Ventura debut. Pfetzing, who not only learned how to gate but also lost his tan while in England, was ahead in four of his five rides, but wilted a couple of times. He led Moran for a lap in event eight, but the champ got by on the inside around turn four. But even more impressive was the one and only "Showtime" Bob Ott who beat everyone he was supposed to and even more, scoring a healthy dozen points, good enough for a tie with Brad Oxley for third. However, Ott beat Oxley in their race, and even dusted off Pfetzing as well. "He reminds me of Kelly," said Tom Moran, the father of fast speedway riders. Moran's clincher was a last-ride cruise over a weak field, surprising everyone when his bike didn't break down. In Second Division racing, all the hot guys fizzled except Jeff Jones, who took his eighth trophy of the year on his home track. He won his heat, semi and tbe main with good gates, and the latter after a battle with Rich Sweaney. ~ CI(") i-< Q.) ..0 o ..... u o YOU TAP YOU Results OVERAll: 1. Kelly. Moran (15); 2.

If I get hurt on the field, I can't make the play. So I protect myself And that goes double for off-road riding. Out on the trail, things happen even faster than they do on a football field. So you've gotta protect yourself. Always wear an approved ATV helmet, a good pair ofboots, gloves and eye protection. Make sure your rruichi.ne is in good operating condition. Never drink when you ride. Think safety. . Ferris, Bast best Baylands By W.H. Spencer FREMONT, CA, SEPT. 13 The 19th week of Class A Speedway at Baylands Raceway Park saw Tom Ferris win the Scratch main just as he did the opening night, while teenager Bart Bast got the best of the Handicap show, downing Mike Delacy in a fine fight. Ferris and his Peterich Cycle machine gated quickly from the pole and squared the first turn, leaving Delacy powerless and Duane Yarrow stuck. Paul Orlandi rode the high line to take the second spot but Ferris held a fine line throughout and took the win. Bast, 17, had to work around Mark Zeissler and Mike Parsons in the Handicap race that became a thriller when Delacy rode along in the passing project and then challenged for the last four corners but came up a few inches short in the ordeal. Bast has continued to improve and should be a contender for the next few seasons, as will Delacy. Rob Damron rode off with his fifth and maybe last Division Two main riding around newcomer Rick Hicks in the process. Bryan Henrickson took third over Mark Day. • Results SCRATCH MAIN: 1.
