Despite riding with a severely ' gashed left wrist, Scotty Brown avenged the previous night's lo ss to Gary Ford by taking the Suzuki North American Ice Speedway Championship main event at the Salt Palace. Even thoug h Brown won the main, Ford earned enough points 10 take the overall victory in . the two-day show. Brown 's brother Jeff got off to a flying start on the evening by defeating Robert Curry in event two, whi le the previous night 's woes of George Lazor continued as he fell and scored zero points. Scotty Brown then kept th e wi nning in the family by taking event three. whi le Ford closed round o ne and opened round two with back-to-hack victori es. Scotty Brown (Scott's Cycles /Keech Speedway Video/Cody Products/ Lou 's Leathers) won his second race of th e evening in even t eight, while Lazor fell aga in and saw his main even t hopes go away as he had not scored a point in his first two rid es. Jim H edrick. nursing a sore elbow from th e previous evening, got th e gate and led until he was passed on lap two by Steve Martin. Martin went on 10 win th e event whi le Hedrick plowed out of control a nd into the crashwall on lap three. but was able to walk off. Lazor. one of the premier ice racers in the country, loo ked to have gotten things sorted out wh en he was running second to Bruce "T he Man" goose" Nelson in event 13. He then clipped a pylon and was disqua lified. leav ing him pointless after three rides . Event 14 saw Martin go down in turn two on lap one. forcing a red flag. Martin was not excluded and then Mike Cortese broke the starting tape and wasn 't excluded - neither of these developments sat well with reserve Mike Faria. The race ended up being a thril ler with Martin putting his fans on their feet by passing Jeff Brown at the line for the victory and the three valuable points. Event 15 featured a misty crash involving Frank Wa tson, Tom Burge and Brian Daily. Watson received a cu t nose and wrist. hut he was able to continue while Burge was excluded for causing the fray. That brought in Faria, and he vented his anger over the previous event by lead ing all the way ; but he touched a pylon and was excluded. Ford and Scotty Brown met in event 16 and it was all Ford as hewon the event by a large distance. Brown was having a bad time as h e was trai ling Jeff Johnson and Gene Woods until Woods took second from John son. Woods then hooked upand went wide , taking Johnson with him and allowing Brown to pass both on the inside for the runner-up spot. In the next round, Ford scored another easy win wh ile Scotty Brown, the only rider not 10 go down at one time or another, won his thi rd race o f the meeting . Brother Jeff took second to keep his main event hopes a live. Ro u nd four closed with Lazor on the winning track, finally , but again he touched one of the infield py lons. That move went unnoticed by officia ls, bu t Lazor, being the sportsman that he is, told th em and was disqualified , giving th e win to Martin, who needed those three points to get into th e main. Event 25 seemed to 'sp ell disaster for Scotty Brown. As he was going through th e first bend on the first lap, he was tapped by Ne lson and went down. His left wrist hit Nelson 's rear tire a nd the studs on the tin' ripped through Brown 's arm guards. leath ers and undershirt. tearing open his left wrist. Everyone, including the injured Brown , restarted. but the race
