Second sweep for Sisemore at Auburn Speedway Carsten captures Unadilla MX ByGen Moore By Dick Archer AUBURN,CA, jUNE lO Jim Sisem ore ca me off the s tartin g lin e like a rocket to earn top honors in both the Handicap and Scratch main events at Auburn Speedway to earn his second double-win of the season, making him the rider others are chasing in the season points race. On th e ve ry first corner of the Handicap main event, Steve Martynse went down a nd ended up in a heap with everyo ne bu t Bart Bast and Bob Hicks . A very alert Bast could see Martynse was in trouble and just managed to avoid the pileup, while Hicks we nt wide and also avoid ed the accident. As they lined up for the resta rt, Martyn se was penalized and p ut to the back of the pac k. Pat Linn dov e into the comer with Rich Marcue-ci slippi ng off the pole, allow ing Hicks to take over second place . Marcucci ~Ied in the next co mer and the ever-present Sisem ore moved by a nd got down on the pole, keep ing a tight line tha t allowed h im to get by Hicks fo r second . Linn then let the back end get away from him , a nd crashed all by hi mself, lea v ing Sisemore alone in the lead . From tha t po in t, Sise more remained solid and took the win with Bast and Hicks finishing second and third, respectively. In the Scratch main. Stsenl ore, who was sitting on the pole, got off the line almost a fu ll b ike length a head of Dus tin Schroeder, Brent Werner and Bast, who came from gates one, two an d three in tha t order. Sisemore wa s abl e to increase that lead with each lap. The only other act io n ca me when We rn er passe d Schroeder, a nd sh ortly th erea fter Sch roeder passed h im bac k to retake seco nd p lace. As the chec kered flag came out, it wa s Sisem ore w ith his seco nd w in of the night follwed by Schroeder in second , Werne r in third and Bast coming in fourth. Fans were treated to the holeshot of the year when Travis MacDon ald came off the SO-yard line to pass all his competitors and grab the lead before he was through the first comer en route to the Jun io r main-even t w in. As a resu lt of this incred ible feat, a protest was filed which led to the teardown o f MacD on al d 's Ed Rose-b u ilt motor. MacDonald 's motor was found to be com· plet ely legal, however, so it ap pears that h e is merely the new up-and -coming Junior to wa tch. NEW BERLIN, NY, JUNE 12 The Unad illa Valley Sports Comple x was host to well ove r 700 en tries for round three of the sixround Tucker Rocky MX Championship Series, with Suzuki su pport /Montgomeryville Cyclebacked Barry Carsten coming out on top by winning three of four motos and the ove rall in the 125 and 250cc Pro/Expert classes . By mota two of the 125cc Pro /Expert class, it became clear that Carsten 's chief opponent for the day wo uld be Ty Wa llace. Carsten and Wallace provided an abundance of excitement, bat tling it ou t in all four motes. Moto one sa w the tr ack beginn in g to d ry as Carst en got a clean holesh ot, and Wallace, Eric Reill y, Bruce Stra tton, and Jim Mcilvaine all jockeyed for posi tion. Wallace we n t do wn and lost several positi ons, whi le Stratton was se tting the pa ce for second. Carsten rod e o ut the mo to in pe rfect form for the w in. Wallace managed to remount a nd salvage th ird . Mo lo two was a real nail-biter as Cars ten go t a poo r start, went down once , and still ma naged to win the mot o. After spend ing time working his way by Reilly and Dam ien Plot ts, Carsten se t his sigh ts on Wallace who was humming along in the lead. He was determined not to let Wallace win th is one. With all eyes glued to the two, Ca rst en kicked in the afterburn ers and slow ly reeled in Walla ce. On the las t lap, Walla ce got hung up with a lapped rid er who was caugh t in a rut in front of the tower. By the time Wallace wa s underway, Carsten was kn oc king on the door an d the two were bu t a bike length apa rt going into the back. Carsten saw h is move going up the back sectio n; Wallace bobbl ed jus t once and Carsten went flying by. He bu rned up the last hill with Wallace in tow and took the checkered for a pe rfect 1-1 score. C ars te n won the fir st 250 cc Pro /Expert mot o, a nd really de mo nst ra ted his ta len t and experience by powering his wa y back to finish seco nd in mo to two af te r bei ng m ired in the pa ck. His 1-2 sco re was good eno ug h for th e overall win and the series points lead . Results Resu lts H DCJ"'; 1. JimSdmior'r (Wft); 2. Bart BM.t Oaw ); 3. Bob Hicb (Wft),;3.
