Gingrich wins
Trail-Way ST .
By Len Breech
HANOVER, PA, JULY 5
Led by Dale Gingrich's first
career double at Trail-Way
Speedway in the 750 and 250cc
Expert finals., two other riders
also scored double wins. Georgie Price
dominated the 80cc Expert final, and
held off an early race challenge from
Mike Varnes to take the l25cc Expert
final on his D&:S Cycles-sponsored
machines.
Randy Texter took his usual wins
in the 250cc and Open Pro classes,
although he almost slid out in the
second tum just after taking the lead
from Eric George but recovered to
regain the lead by the sixth lap.
Gingrich borrowed the Penn State
Cycles 600cc Yamaha for the night
and proceeded to put it up in the
cushIon and quickly in front of the
remainder of the field. Max George
spent most of the race in a lonely
second spot, while Nick Taylor and
Mark Myers, making his first start on
a big bike, batlied most of the race
over third until Taylor found the
slick spot on turn two and slid out
with two laps left.
After winning the 750cc class by a
straight, Gingrich immediately hopped on his Zechman's Cycle Cerner
Yamaha for the start of the 250cc
Expert final. He quickly jumped off
to a several length lead over Dave
Duhaine, Jim Haas, and A.J. Ander-
son. After another lap, David Reeves
moved up to challenge Haas and
Duhaine for second. After batliing
for the first half, Haas emerged in
front of the pack.
. Eric George led Randy Texter, Duhaine and Bill Bromley as the 250cc
Pro class exited the second turn. Texter took the lead as they started the
second lap and appeared to be on his
way to another easy win, but he
found the slick spot that was somewhere on the second turn, almost
highsiding. He quickly regrouped
and finally caught George with three
laps to go, pulling away to a 20 yard
margm.
Texter had an easier time winning
the Open Pro final from heat winner
David Miller. After highsiding hard
on the start, Eric Buckwalter came
back to challenge Ken Coolbeth for
third in the late stages, but Coolbeth
held him of[ by a length.
Eric George grabbed the lead in
the 500cc Expert final from Todd
Kendig, Rob Majeski and Lowell
Wherley. With 'Majeski moving into
second on the next lap, Eric Buckwalter moved into fourth after starting on the penalty line by the third
lap, and set up a close battle for third
that lasted until the end. During the
middle laps, Majeski tried to get
under George for the lead, but George
kept him at bay and pulled out a 10yard margin, while the battle for
third moved up to include Majeski
and second. Majeski held on to take
second by a wheel.
