HARRISBURG, PA, FEB. 18
The two most dominant local riders in recent
years, Warren Diem and Georgie Price, each left
the Pennsylvania State Farm Show Arena after
the Eastern Harley Davidson Dealers Association-sponsored short track portion of the 16th
Annual Motorama Indoor Race and Speed Show
with a p air of wins.
Diem picked up w here he left off last year
with wins in the 600cc A and Veteran finals on
his Fisher's Cycle /Diem 's Cycles /McGrane Racing-sponsored Hond a, while Price ag ain took
the 600cc Pro and 2SOcc Pro class wins on his TShirts Ete./Maroney's H-D/Taylor White-spo nsored machines.
Both of Diem's wins were very similar, with
Tom Majeski a close second in both and Bob
Sweeten taking third. Majeski was on Diem 's tail
in the late laps of the 600cc A ma in; Diem later
said his machine had a slight miss and he was
just holding on to the lead . Diem mu st have gotten it fixe d, for in the Veteran class he ag ain
jumped into the lead wit h Majeski in tow while
the remain der of the fiel d was slo w ed by a
downed r ider in the fo ur th t u rn . Sweeten
nu dged his way by Rob Smith for fourth on lap
four, then b ulled his way by Mike Rabol d for
third on the eigh th lap.
Eddie Hidden grabbed the lead at the official
start of the 600cc Pro final wi th Georgie Price,
Ch uck Buchanan, Mike Varnes and Robe rt
Miller in close purs uit. Price took his us ual place
in front as they entered the first tum on the next
lap, with Miller taking third. The ord er stayed
the same to the end, bu t with a lot of prob ing
and b umping going on behind Price.
In the 250 Pro fina l, Price gra bbed the lead
fro m Buc ha na n, Jim Haas an d Kevi n Varnes,
with the only change being Varnes taking third
on the backstraigh t on lap three.
Todd Winsett took the 250cc A final , while
james McGovern and Bill MacQueen took the
200 a nd 250cc B classes. Bria n Phill ip s a nd
Donnie Mullen hand led th e litt le guy classes
with wins in the 55 and 85cc divisions, respectively.
Derrick McClintock pos ted an impressive double-motc sweep of the 60cc Beginner class during the GFI Super Saturday MJ( held at Perris
Raceway.
The first 60cc beginner race saw a mote-lon g
duel b etween McC lin tock a nd Ty so n Davis.
Both riders put on a show as they pu lled away
from the ir com petition and waged a private race
for the lead . In the end, McClintock prevailed by
keeping a coo l h ead in the wake of constant
p ressure from a very determined Davis. justin
Lavoie finished in third whi le Nick Wells and
Andrew Renshaw rounded out the top five.
Davis tu rned the tab les in the second mot o
by pulling the ho leshot and leadin g in the open ing la ps . McCli nt ock once agai n kep t his cool
and followed closely in second place, wa iting for
a chance to pounce, which came with two laps
left to go when Davis cam e into a tight sw itchback t w o gears too h igh. While Dav is tried
desparately to d ow ns hift into the correct gear,
McClintock simp ly mo tored aro und the outside
an d in to the lea d. McCli ntock kep t it toge the r
for the mo to an d overall win in front of Davis,
Luis jauregui, Chris Thorp and Nick Wells.
Steven Brewis got a long overdue win in the
Pee Wee Stock Beginner class . Brewis holesh ot
the open ing mo to over three-year-old C o le
Seely, justin Sommers and Garrett Berry, was ting little time and quickly opening a four-seco nd
lead. Seely kept Brewis in sight to the finish
where he crossed the line second behind motowinn er Brewis.
Seely pulled a suprise h olesho t in the a llimpo rtan t second moto and led the firs t thr ee
laps of the race. Som mers and Berry collid ed
and went d own early in the race, and both riders
wo uld re-en ter the race a lap down. As the race
p rogressed , Seely began to feel the p res su re
from Brewis. As the twl>riders cam e into lapped
traffic, Seely too k the outside line and beca me
trapped while Brewis dove under Seely and the
lappers to take the lead. Brewis went on for- the
eventual win over Seely, Berry and Sommers.

to p u sh h is bi ke . Know ing that the others
wo u ld be by soon, he continued to p ush. On ce
ou t of the woods, Brannon's pi t crew ran gas to
his bike wh ile Buckley an d Dunbar closed in.
