When the results were calculated the Cowie boys, Leland and Lee, had lost one minute error for the entire route LO win. Results FINAL: 1. Loe Cowie (BSA); 2. Chas. Stoclthausen (BSA); 3.

Seip tops Sleepy HollowMX By Pete Keiser FREDERICKSBURG, PA, MAY 8 Jerry Seip Jr. was consistently smooth during the sixth race of the season at Sleepy Hollow Motocross Park, winning the 32 250cc A class and placing second in the Open A. While Seip led the early laps of both 250cc A moLOS he could . only manage second-place finishe . Dag Boyeson got through traffic at will and rode in Seip's roost before squeaking by in the final lap of moLO number one. In the second motb, Boyeson trailed Seip and Mike Spear through the first lap but crashed heavily and had to settle for eighth overall. Spear pressed hard and beat Seip to the checkered flag but wound up second overall. Third place went LO Troy Coons, who pulled off founh and third place finishes, respectively. Boyeson was more successful in the Open A class where he took second and first place finishes. Seip had his Honda ahead of Boyeson for over four laps in the second 30-minute moLO, but again Boyeson muscled his Kawasaki past him for the win. Bob Sorenson and his KTM looked tough en route to a solid third, via founh and third place finishes. Spear had won the first moLO, but a flat tire took him outof third place in the second.

The other rider cut a considerable ponion of the track. Martin was in last place when he returned LO the action, but he showed determination and skill by blowing past the entire field in a lap-and-a-half. When the checkered Uagdropped, he was so far ahead it looked a if he was in a class by himself. Fellow Mini Junior riders Michael Vrabel, on a Yamaha, and Auutie SLOut on a Honda, took second and third in the moLO and overall. Moto number two saw Lloyd I.eading Reasner through the first half lap before Lloyd crashed.
