David Hand styles during Philadel'phia Spectrum Arenacross. The team race concluded Friday's show. Each five-man team came to the line in team jerseys, Philly in white and Pittsburgh in black. Philly's Brian Carroll nabbed the holeshot and held on to win. Pittsburgh's Mike Bias finished second, while Philadelphia's Carston took third. Dickie Bellora moved into the lead at th& start of Saturday's final ahead of Glass, Carsten, Andrews and Salander. Back in the first corner Coombs, Hand and Hayes picked themselves up off the canvas after stacking.up o.ff the start. Bellora held the point for four laps before Glass got by and soon Andrews was by both Bellora and Carsten. Glass looked comfort· able out front and led the pack for six more laps before Andrews began applying the heat. With three laps to go and lapped traffic cI uttering the course, Andrews went over Glass' head on a stiff set of doubles after a lapped slowed the leader's progress. A no-hander at the finish line doubles by Andrews was followed by Glass, Carsten, Bellora and Abel. Saturday night's grand finale came in the form of a rematch in the team race between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Philly riders again grabbed the early lead when Pittsburgh's top' rated riders Bias and Glass went down on the start. But the visiting team had a secret weapon in back-up rider Brett Salander, who was taking an injured Coombs' place. Salander held his own against Carroll, Hayes and Craig Peterson and kept Pittsburgh in the hunt. Bellora and Stanley were having a field day further back, knocking off Philly riders in each corner according to plan. Their tactics were not appreciated by the hometeam fans, but there aren't many rules in team racing. Salander was ap· plauded by few people in the nearcapaci ty stands as he crossed the line with the victory for Team Pittsburgh. A battered Carroll was next followed by Carsten, Hayes and Glass.
