Fletcher IIies at WestwoodRR By Alice Macpherson WESTWOOD, B.C. SEPT. 28 Darryl Fletcher held off Joe Pittman to finish first in both 750cc Production heats today during road racing action at Westwood. Rubber laid down on the asphalt during a vintage car race the previous day combined with rain and fog to make the track very slick, forcing the two front runners to do a lot of wiggling and sliding on the slippery track surface. . Ken Lalonde managed third overall, finishing just ahead of Steve Dick, the current 750cc Production points leader. After the race, Dick shrugged and said, "I want the championship for Honda so I went after the points." Dick had a better day in Superbike competition, where he went out on the track and took top honors in the first heat. Pillman came back to pull off the win in the second heat, taking the top spot overall. Dick finished second, and Steve Lilllejohn circulated for a solid third. Dick won the Formula One competition, with teammate Fletcher finishing second and Yamaha-mounted Lalonde taking third. Points-leader Larry Taylor threw caution to the wind in the Formula Two class, then threw his bike away when he pushed a lillIe too hard. Yamaha-mounted Ivan Reid inherited the win in the two-man race. Richard Day took dou ble wins over fellow Cagiva pilot Steve Lingard in the Battle of The Twins heats. Jim Dewitte won the 450cc Production race after being pressured in the early going by Mike Crevier, and in the late going by a very steady Kevin McDairmid. Paul Hopper finished third, while Crevier was one of five riders who crashed on the second lap. 0 one was seriously injured, but the mishap cost Crevier any chance he might have had of taking the class championship. Nick De£ago, who is noted for riding well under poor conditions, did so again by claiming top honors in the 600cc Production class. Dave Ohtiwa and Bill Jenkins finished second and third, respectively. In Formula Three competition, newcomer Greg Reid rode to a very credible first place in his very first race. Results 450 PROD: 1.

Copeland sweeps Creek County MX By Scot Thompson KELLYVILLE, OK, SEPT. 27 David Copeland swept the two Expert big bike classes at Emmett Hahn's Creek County Speedway today.

Copeland came into the program trailing Brian Isbell by a mere 12 points in the Open class and Tim Cartwright by 18 points in the 250cc class. Copeland got the holeshot in the Open feature and led every lap to a very easy victory.

Wedlake was unstoppable in both the 250cc and Open divisions. Billy McLaughlin won the 60cc class on his Kawasaki, but was forced to sellle for second in the80 and 125cc Amateur classes.
