Eddie Ingel s is getting to be h abit
forming in the world of Class A
speedway mot orcycl e ra cing, especia lly a t Baylands Racewa y Park.
In gel s an d hi s Quake r State/KalGa rd / A&A Racing stables spec ia ls
won their first double just two weeks
ago , a nd to n ig ht h e p ulled orr

Bast d id likewise to Cas tro l's Greg
Martz. The bes t o f th e h eats was saved
for la st as Jim Sisem or e a nd Rock y
Rob in son h ad the fam ed. battl e
roya le. Robinson held on for th e win
by inches staying on aw ide line tha t
set up so me fancy sem is.
Th e fir st: sem i ended su dde n ly
wh en Parsons a nd Martz got too
close together and Martz went for th e
wa ll. The bike was too damaged to
return and Martz had a real so re
shou lder to bo ot so it wa s a mat ch
ra ce for In gels a nd Sisem ore a n d
th at 's th e way they finish ed. There
was n o suc h occu rence in th e o ther
sem i, wh ich saw a freigh t train for
Martin , Robinson and Bast. T he Bast
Bros Welding, number one entry wa s
£l yin g everyw here. Bast tri ed hi s best
to get by Rob inson , who worked a
fine line for first over Martin, then
Martin found h imself too wide for
a n yth in g b u t third and Bast settled
for the tra nsfer. .
Robinson drew the pole on h is
Custom Eng/Sierra/Shoei racer with
Bast next door and Ingels third;
Sis emore was on the fence line.
Robinson led th e pack for the post
with Ingels going wid e an d sta rtin g
another rim-riding sessio n. Bast had
a good inside line th at led to the front
sp ot; H e forced In gel s to close up
the ranks, th en In gel s m ade his
patented pas s th at found th e chec kers
just to hi s liking.
H andicap racing was much th e
sa me as Ingels won both hi s heat and
his semi and th en rode a n o u tside
line to the ma in event-win over Kid
Curry and Joe Leduc with Robinson '
the chaser again. Dan Neilsen came'
up the Division Two winner after
some fancy dancing that saw Mike
Kunsman second over John Grant.
Former Class C racer Mearl Barnett
topped Division Three again and
will hopefully get some Class A
training.

G REE NE, NY , JULY 19
T he best th e riders ca n hope for in
o ne ni ght o f Action Park East
Spee dway is to tak e home th e money
in bo th the 'Division One and Han-
d icap main events. That is wh at
Warren Diem did for the second time
th is season a t Action Pa rk Ea st
Speedway.
. ,
Diem has his sigh ts sets on the East
.Coast record of 10 straight Di vision
O ne Scratch main even t wins, currently h eld by H an k Bassett. Bassett,
n ow retired, has been setting up
Diem 's motors to do the job.
D iem had no problem in h is
qualifying hea t, as he finished ahead
of Mike Buman with the two ride rs
making the semi transfer. The first
semi had Joh n Lewis leading th e
circu it for four laps. Colorado 's
Lance Darsow appeared headed for
the main but Tom Burge swooped
by him down the back straight on
the white £lag lap to pick up the
transfer. Diem controlled the second
semi off the inside posi tion as George
Lazor drafted Diem for four la ps to
toss h is hat into the main event rin g .
as well.
The first lap of the main event saw
Diem and Lazor embroiled in their
usual tigh t race with the n ormal
bu m p in g and grinding .that occurs.
Lazor went down and Lewis ra n into
Lazor. O n the tigh t tra ck at Actio n
Park the red £lag had to co me out
wi th the two ri ders down. Lazor
r eturned fo r th e resta rt o n the
borrowed machine of Mark Edwards'
but had to start o rr th e 10 yard lin e.
Diem was off and runni ng on h is
Keech Video/ Diem's Cycle G odden.
H e stormed to the win a head of Tom
Bu rge, Lewis and Lazor.
Andy Del im a t and Joel Mo nell
were both having a great n ight. Ea ch
won their respective Handicap heats.
Monell went on to make his first
appearance in the main event as h e
led wire-to-wire in his sem i final.
Delimat wa s stro n g for four laps in
the semi but it was only a matter of
time until Diem ca ugh t him and
took the lead. The stron g showin g
sent Delima t into th e main even t
with Diem an d J ohn Lewis:
In th e m ain, Delimat held th e lead
for two laps as th e ba ck ya rdage
rid er s were working th eir way up to
the front. T om Burge took th e lead
o n lap three with Delimat seco nd and
Diem in third. Diem picked off
Delimat o n lap four. During lap five
Diem mad e hi s -pass on Burge. In
Diem 's attempt to pass Burge it
appeared th at h e bumped Burge off
his line in order to get by on the
inside. After th e referee 's decision on
th e in cid ent th e finishing order stood
as Diem, Burge, Lewis, Delimat,
.
Monell a nd Buman.
Andy Delimat not o n ly had a good
run in th e H andicap events but
dominated Divi sion Two.
