PORTLAND, OR, SEPT. 28
Woodland's Dean Autrey
(Honda) took the overall win
in the 500cc Amateur class during today's short track held at
I
the Portland Meadows Race Track in
Portland.
A small rider turnout forced most
classes to be combined and scored separately. In moto one, Autrey got the
holeshot followed closely by Tenino's
Aaron Waggoner, Mike Fetty and
Ryan Anderson. Waggoner wasted
no time in pressuring Autrey, as he
pulled up next to the leader in turns
one and two. Back and forth the duo
battled but Autrey continued tDcome
out on lOp. At the back Fetty an.d .
Anderson were having a race of their
own. At the checkered £lag the order
went Autrey, Fetty, Anderson and
Waggoner, who slid out in turn two
with less than a lap to go.
In the second race, Autrey got the
scratch ahead of Waggoner, Anderson
and Fetty. The four of them freighttrained it right to the finish in the
same order.
In the final moLO, Autrey got the
start with Waggoner right next to
him.on the outside. Behind them in
order was Anderson, who was Irying
to get used LO his new 125, and then
young Fetty. Autrey was t>are!y able
to keep up his domination over Waggoner, as the two went at it I~p after
lap. With a lap to go, Autrey pulled
about eight.yards on Waggoner, who
had a big advantage on the two youngsters. At the final checkered £lag the
order went Autrey, Waggoner, Anderson and Fetty.

Kurt Chandler, younger brother
to Doug Chandler, showed that
not all the talent in the Chandler family belongs to the famous
land highly successful Doug. Kurt has
learned a few things about racing.
mOLOrcycles, and he proved he had at
least mastered the di£ficult knack of
flingi ng a 500cc four-stroke around a
l'-mile short track oval. The R&D
Enterprises promoted, AMA-sanctioned and Stroh's Beer-sponsored
short track events at the Monterey
County Fairgrounds Rodeo Arena
again drew an excellent turnout of
racers and fans.
In the final 500cc Expert class,
Paul Iwanaga was the odds-on favorite, as he had won the heat race in a
masterful display of superior riding.
Atthe green light it was Iwanaga taking a slight advantage. over Chandler and his Salinas XR Honda. The
remainder of the competitors were
battling furiously for positions behind
the front running duo. Bob Damron,

dena at the Ascot Junior Nallonal
was battling with Todd Bridges. Midway through the final Bridges was
able to put his Rotax under Damron's Honda in one of the tight
corners and grabbed third place with
intentions of reeling in second-placer
Chandler. Chancier had ideas of his
own and capitalized on a very small
bobble by Iwanaga. Thollgh Iwanaga tried several hard drives o[f the
corners he could not gain any leverage on Chandler. At the checkers it
was Chandler, Iwanaga, Bridges and
Damron.
Action in the 500cc Junior class
included two separate heat races to
qualify for the final. At the green
light second heat race winner, Joe
Carrera slammed into the first corner
with Mark Butler and Ricky Smith.
Gary Vincelet, winner of the first
heat got bumped in the traffic and
couldn't recover for a good finish.
Exiting turn twO on the first lap, it
quickly turned into a two-rider battle
between Mark Butler and Ricky
Smith. Ricky stayed close enough to
Butler by working on him as they
exited the corners. Butler was going
in the corners just hard enough so
that when he squared the corner he
had straight, good traction position
for the straights. At the checkers it
was Butler followed by Smith, Carrera and Danny, Cahoon.
