Ireland in overJlriY~ at Medford .S'l: " .. nof By Clay Light MEDFORD, OR, JAN. 11 Diminutive speedster Jo Don Ireland was in overdrive during indoor short track action at Medford's Expo Park Arena. Ireland stole two classes, winning the 60 and 80ccA main events. Also joining Ireland in the winner's circle was Honda jockey Bob Ingle, who was the only other double class winner in the evening's program. Ireland has been a terror in the 60 and 80cc classes and due to the absence of Shawn Highland and Ryan Huff· man, Ireland had it all to himself in both main events. John Williams chased Ireland all the way to the checkers in the 60cc A main, but to no avail as Ireland chalked up win number one over Williams and third place finisher Jason Menteer, ~ho was making his racing debut. Ireland was back out front in the 80cc A main and took another well deserved victory to cap off his double class demolition ahead of second and third place finishers Jason Sutton and Donald Valentine. AMA Junior pro flat tracker Ingle launched his Honda to the head of the pack while Yamaha speedster Mike Hamilton, Jerry. Thomasson and Gary Braden were the Class C riders' closest competition. Ingle held off Braden to win the elite 250cc A main with Braden in tow. Third fell to Thomasson while Hamilton took fourth, a position unfamiliar to the southern Oregon ace. Ingle and ThomassoPl had a brutal battle once again, this time in the Old Timers (30+) final. Ingle has been on the gas of late and has dominated the class all season. Tonight was much the same as Ingle slid his way to the checkered flag for win number two over Thorn· asson, Charlie Higdon and Walt Wingler. John Williams outrode the Open class contestants to win the exciting Open A main with Carl Tresser, Higdon and Herb Courier trading paint for the number two spot, Tresser triumphed for second at the completion; Higdon was third. The evening's finale was the Open Pro main event with no displacement limit. Hamilton wa~ out for revenge due to dismal finishes in the 250cc and Open mains and shot to the head of the pack on the opening lap of competition while Ingle and AMA Expert Mark Lagaira did all they could to overtake MX pro Hamilton, who would go on to win and take top cash payoff. ~ [L~~u [Q)U~Uo~U ~ &u ~oUo~o c ENTRY INFOAMAT~ VIEWFI DERS t!!I MAlC~ODum GRAND PRIX ~~ r'·!·=~ RIVERSIDE IllLo RACEWAY -:.~) FEB. 28th & MAR. 1st -4If~ SMITH GOGGLES $6.00 PER PERSON (INCLUDES OVERNIGHT FREE PARKING) CHILDREN UNDP.R 12 FREE , N O PLAY BIKES FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ••IND ENTRY f'oRHs MAIL SELF~i ADDRESSED, STAMPED ENVELOPE TO: VIEWFINDERS M.C. 4027 W AVE. 41 •. f'.'
