McDowell clobbers
'em at Lodi Benefit
By Mikki McBride
LOD!, CA, APR. 17
Lodi Cycle Bowl held its benefit race
today for th e Make a Wish Foundation and Bobby McDowell was the
star of th e show. With riders coming
from as far away as Ohio, T exas and
Col orado , th ere was a fantastic '
turn o ut. In the heats of both the
500cc Open Expert and th e Pro-Am,
McDowell led the pack all th e way
to the checkered flag.
.:
In the Open Expert, Mi chael
Gr esham took his Rotax off th e line
~nd into the lead with McDowell just
inc hes awa y fro m his back-wheel on
h is Bob Codd-sponsored Honda.
McDowell got by Gresham on turn
two but Gresham stayed a close
seco n d be.hind: Another good hard
nde~, Kevin Bncker astride a HarleyDavidson was co mm g up fast in
third fo llowed b y Scott Stump.
Stu mp looked good for his first ride
on th e Lodi Blue Groove and held
his fourth position also o n a Harley.
Rotax riders Danny Cahoon and
. Rob ert Damron ~ere doing battle for
~ht: fifth spo t with Cahoon coming
in Just ahead at the checkered flag.
In th e meantime, McDowell and
Gresham were still going at it at the -.
front of th e pack. McDowell almost
lost his position once when he went
a little wide in turn four, but
managed to bring the bike back
down and hold on to first. .Gresham,
not used !o McDowell being out in
front of hirn was really fighting hard
.to overtake the front runner but to
no avail. McDowell came ~ver the
finish line with a wheelie and the
crowd went wild.
In the Pro-Am main event, McDowell was the one to get the holeshot
Just ahead of Harley rider Randy
Fisher and Michael Gresham. McDowell kept extending his lead more
and more with each lap until he was
a quarter of a lap ahead of the p?ck:
Gresham rode hard to get by a Fisher
but dumped the bike coming dow~
the front straight. Robert Damron
~ho had been sitting back in the
SIXth spot started making his move
