Iron Horseman Hillc1imb
win to Gerencer
By Larry Witmer
MIDDLEBURY, IN, APR.. 25
Goshen Iron Horseman held its opening hillclimb of the 1993 racing season and 95 competitors came out ready to attack the 17(}-foot hill.
Louie Gerencer, Sr. was the quickest today, rid-
ing in the Pro Exhibition class. Gerencer, like
many of today's Pro riders, was tuning up for
the upcoming National.
Harry Denham put in a great ride. He
jumped the pit bn his first run, came up just a little short, but still held the quickest time all day in
the Open class. "Boy, I came down hard on my
leg," said Denham. "I hope that time holds up,
because I'm not jumping the pit next run."
Chad Falde captured the 500cc class win and
recorded the fastest time in the Amateur ranks
with a 4.l11-second run.
"I felt everything was going great," said
Falde. "I knew I had a good holeshot and
cleared the pit resulting in such a quick time."

Meyers untouchable at
Silver State Motocross
By Joan Tiearney
CARSON OTY, NY, APR. 25
CPE/O'Neal-backed Scott Meyers mastered the
second round of the CMC North Spring Classic
in the 250cc Pro class.
Yamaha-mounted Rick Ryan grabbed the
holeshot followed by Dave Coupe and Scott
Meyers. Meyers quickly motored into the lead
while avoiding a first-turn pileup involving
Kenny Lash, Pat Gomrn and Chris Barker.
The second lap freight train continued with
the 18 Pro class riders, and it was clear that
Meyers was aiming his Kawasaki for the win
around this technical track. Close behind was
Ryan, Coupe, Michael Brandes and Rusty
Holland. Ryan chased Meyers lap after lap, but
Meyers had all the lines and wasn't giving an
inch to Ryan. Coupe settled in for third, while
Spud Walters and Michael Brandes battled for
fourth. Holland and Meagher were riding in
fifth and sixth, respectively, by the midway
point. Stamina would be the key. When the
checkered flag carne out, it was Meyers on top.
The runner-up was Ryan, while third place went
to Walters. Coupe ended up fourth and Ho11and
fifth.
Moto two saw Meyers out front again with
Coupe, Ryan and Walters in the hunt. On lap
two, Ryan passed Coupe and then stalked
Meyers for the next four laps, but it was to no
avaiL Walters made a move on Coupe on. the
sixth lap to take over sixth. Riding in fifth position was Treavor Meagher. Local favorite Chris
Barker was down on his luck after being
involved in a pileup in the first moto and having
a midpack start in moto two. Barker moved his
Honda into seventh.
The I-I moto finishes turned in by Meyers
gave him the overalL while Ryan finished second overall via a 2-2 tally. Walters' 3-3 earned
him third overall, while Coupe's 4-4 gave him
fourth.
In the 12Scc Pro class, Honda rider Shane
Esposito used a 1-2 score to take the overall vietory. Michael Brand.es, who finished sixth in
moto one won the second, claimed the runner·
up honors.

Lane, Anders on top again at
Lake Whibtey Cross Country
By Mark Childre
LAKE WHl1NEY, 1X, APR.. 18
KTM USA/MSR/DwaIube/Trick/KTM of Fort
Worth-backed Dean Lane dominated the Pro
class ranks, while Kawasaki·mounted Tracy
Anders scored the Expert class overall victory
by a small margin at the fifth round of the Texas
Cross Country Series at Lake Whitney Cycle
Park.
It was the damp rocky bluffs overlooking the
Lake Whitney MX track that provided most of
the challenge. The left-hand sweeping starting
area was utilized with over half the MX section
being run backwards, which allowed riders to
spread out before hitting the woods leading
onto the rocky bluffs. The course incorporated
two tricky, steep uphills for spectator and rider
entertainment. At the end of the loop, riders reentered the MX track with a short tabletop and a
fast left sweeper.
As the pros charged to the first tum, it was
Oay Hoenshell demonstrating his motocross
prowess with a holeshot and a stylish pass
through the MX section. This section was trivial
for Hoenshell, who has motocrossed at Lake
Whitoey many times, but that's where it ended,
as Hoenshell had little-to-no practice on the rest
of the track. Lane moved up from his fourthplace start to challenge Hoenshell early in the
first lap and Steve Mack was right there for the
show.
"I thought, 'This is great, a front row seat' I
never get to watch Dean and Clay race," Mack
said.
Mack stayed within striking distaoce, while
Lane and Hoenshell battled. Hoenshell's unfa·
miliarity with the track eventually cost him, and
Lane took over the front position. Then a flat tire
on lap four and the subsequent time-consuming
wheel change put Hoenshell's race on hold.
Mack kept Lane in sight for the first half of
the seven-lap race, but Lane eventually began to
pull away, finishing with a two-minute advantage. Mack maintained a three-minute advantage over his closest competitor, Scott Stidd, to
take second. Hoenshell struggled to get back
into fifth behind fourth place finisher Steve
Reavis.
Tracy Anders, competing in the 250cc Expert
class, pulled the holeshot in his class, but trouble
on the opening lap put him in the catch-up
mode.
"I was overcharging the track early on and
over-ran a tum. Guess I just had a b..in fade.
That mistake put me near the back of the pack,"
said Anders.
Erik Nielson and Adrian Jacobs pulled into
the front two spots, while Anders struggled to
move into third by completion of lap one.
Anders made his move in lap two to regain the
lead with Jacobs securing the number-two spot
From that point, Anders built an insurmountable lead, finishing nearly two minutes ahead of
Jacobs.
While Anders margin of victory in the 250cc
ranks was wide, only IS seconds adjusted time
separated him from Over-30 Expert rider Danyl
Smith for the overall win in the amateur ranks.
Mark Childre finished third overall and second
in the Over-30 class, some some 20 seconds
behind Smith.

Pfetzing flies at Costa
Mesa Speedway
ByM.Sober
COSTA MESA, CA, APR. 23
Former British Speedway League regular Robert
"Tj\e Gater" Pfetzing lived up to his nicknamt>
by taking the Scratch main. But the Handicap
main was another story as Brad Oxley, once
again, took the top finishing position. The
Sidecar main event went to the duo of Peter
Lewis and Jamie Macy, while the Support class
speedway main win went to Kelly Bennett.
On a night when the crowd was being treated to a rare return to the States by America's
premier world class speedway specialist
"Sudden" Sam Ermolenko, it was Pfetzing who
managed to pull off the night's finest ride in the
evening's most prestigious race. Ermolenko,
who appeared on the track nine times due to
having to transfer to the regular program, as
well as, appearing in multiple match races, drew
the inside pole position in the main event but
was out-gated by Pfetzing, who started in lane
three, and Brant, who came out of two.
Pfetzing's start was flawless and he set a pace
that Brant, on the inside, nor Errnolenko, on the
outside, could match. Oxley was the fourth participant in the run and was bringing up the rear
until moving up to third as "Sudden Sam" suddenly hit the deck in tum four of the second lap.
To his credit Ermolenko got up, remounted his
bike and entertained the crowd of 4500 with
spectacular whee1ies, as he finished out his laps
in fourth place. Pfetzing held off the charges of
Brant and won by four bike lengths.
Oxley moved up to finish a close third.
The Handicap main is soon going to have to
be called the Brad Oxley Invitational. Oxley finished atop the night's busiest event for the second time in four events this season. Oxley started the race next to Bobby Schwartz and Mike
Faria on the 50 yard line. In between 3O-yard sitters - Andy Northrup and Donnie Odom - were
Charlie Venegas, ErmoJenko and Brant
Odom was the first to run up front, closely
followed by Venegas, Oxley and Faria, while
Ermolenko spun on the outside. Odom looked
flawless for six-plus laps, while Oxley displaced
Venegas in the bridesmaid position. Faria
remained a single bike length to the rear of
Venegas in third, leading fourth place
Errnolenko by a breath.
The white flag lap saw Oxley make his
move, as he passed Odom for the lead while
being pressured by Faria. Oxley had but a turn
to go and he had his second win of the young
