Sweeten sweeps Trail-Way 8T

HANOVER. PI.. APR. 17
After the first two outdoor short tracks were postponed due to blizzards and rain, Trail-Way
Speedway finally launched its 1993 season on a
damp. cold and breezy night Bob Sweeten made
it a memorable night by winning the 600cc A,
2.5Occ A and Senior classes on his seJf...ponsored
machines. Tom Majeslci took the 750cc A class.
while Kevin Vames inherited the win in the 600cc
Pro final when Harold Dorsey had victory in
hand only to step off in the final tum.
Majeski swapped the lead with Sweeten in
the 600cc A and Senior heats and looked 10 do the
same in the 600cc A final, but a bad start put him
in fourth behind Sweeten, Phil Libhart and Jad
Franklin. The field quickly spIead out with
Sweeten pulling away to a comfortable margin.
In the latter stages, Majes.ki pressured Franklin
for third, but Franklin held on by a 1ength.
Sweeten again jumped out front in the Senior
class, with Majeski close behind with Richard
Foard and Lowell Wherley discussing third.
Unlike the heats where he led several laps,
Majeski didn't have his Honda as dialed in for
the slick conditions in the final as Sweeten did. At
the conclusion of the second lap, Wherley took
over third, but Foard retook it two laps later.
Sweeten ran off and hid from the 2SOcc A
class with Roy Miller and John Winsett Sr. battling over second most of the way with Miller
taking the spot
Dorsey battled with Varnes for the lead at the
opening of the 600cc Pro final, with Georgie Price,
Mike Klopp and Mike Hacker fighting over third.
After a few laps, Dorsey had a couple of lengths
margin on Varnes and looked on his way 10 a
win. Looks can be deceiving, though, as Dorsey
was just starting to come out of the fmaJ tum
when his front wheel washed out. This caused
him 10 "step" off, giving the win 10 Varnes with
Price a few lengths bad in second.
Majeski put the Jim Chapman...ponsored
Triumph in front of the 750cc class and pulled
away for an easy win. Joe Gately held second
while Randy Shank and NICk Taylor battled over
third. That battle took them up 10 Gately and
about the fifth lap, Taylor closed too fast on
Gately, tapping him, and causing Taylor to slide
out Shank easily got by Gately once he got his
Harley rolling for second.
The closest of the Amateur finals was the
200cc final, as Mike McKee took advantage of one
of his main competitors, 8Scc class winner Tom
Skethway, starting on the penalty line. On the
third and official start, McKee took the lead, but
Skethway was in a close second by the end of the
first lap with Tim Russell, Keith Fitzgerald and
Nathan Davis trailing. Skethway stayed 01) his
tail until they came upon some lapped traffic in
the closing laps, when McKee managed to
increase his margin.
