LAKE ODESSA, MI.AUG. 14 Twelve-year-old Brandon Rose taught some of the old boys a few new tricks when he dove to the insi de of the thin. dry groove to slea l the win from Larry VanValkenburg in the Pre-1975 Vintage class at the 1-96Speedway Half Mile. g In the heat race, Rose could be seen checkin out possible lines for the final, while Royal Raeing's David Valiket walked the thin, blue tightrope to the finis h line several len gths ahead of Vanvalkenburg and Rose. A slip d uring the warm- up, prior to the staging of th e fina l, wo u ld leave Vallket a touch shaken and a bit more cautious of the fresh ly watered track. The Bultacos got th e jum p off the line in the main eve nt, with VanValkenburg leading Dale Cooper into turn three . Rose took a lap to evaluate the situation then quickly moved past Cooperdawn the wall side of the front stretch. Rose shadowed the "taco" rider for the next five laps and waited for an opening. Patience paid off for Rose, and the opening came when traction disappeared for VanValkenburg, who was coming out of tum four to the white flag. The invitation was wide open and Rose RSVP'd immedia tely, slammed the door sh ut on VanValkenburg, and charged to the checkered flag. Rose kept the adrenaline pumping as he and Daniel Kauffman diced it up in the 200cc class . The two danced peg to peg on the back stretch, then split the slower traffic da w n the middle and headed for the checkered flag wi de open around tum four . The hold-on-to-your-seat run would see Kauffman hang on to the advantage by a half a whee l. The Veteran class found Brian Hewson shako ing his head as the Babka brothers surrounded him on the start line of the final. Tim Babka took the outside po ll by virtue of his faster heat win with Hewson pulling up along inside him. But, when Mike Babka took up residence beside Hewson, all he could do was throw his han ds up in the air. The race was on at the first flash of green, with the three Ho nda riders look ing for elbow room during the next six laps. The Shoei /Vesrah /Marshall Dist.-sponsored Mike Babka gained some breathing room when the three moved. into slower traffic. Mike was able to hug the groove while the other two slipped up and fell off the groove, giving up several lengths in the p rocess. With the win secured, Mike Babka was able to Oi confidently wheelie across the finish line. . By Kevin George 5.CANrON, oa AUG.6 Scotty Brown wo n his fourth-straight U.S. Open Speedway Cha mpionship at Bear Cree k Speedway. as riders from Sweden, Poland, Canada and the eastern U.S. tried to take the title, but it was Brown who cam e shining thro ug h with a perfect score. Brown 's toughest co mpetition w ere Polish ride rs Sobek and Bo gd en M uszi nski. The Muszinskis usually run the longer tracks but always adapt quickly to the 1/8-mile Bear Creek oval. Jeff Tre tera performed some pit thrashing to make the show . Tretera was one of th ree local regulars expected to challenge Brown for the champions hip. After 20 heats, Kalvin Smith came up one poin t shy, and Mark Maurer was down two po ints need ed to qualify for the four heat championship runoff. Brown a nd his O ury Grips /Shoei Helmets/J.T. Racing /K & N Filters /Blendzall/ Lou's l.eathers /Jus tice Bros./Terry Cable / AlpineStar-backed machine went to the fina l round of heats un defeated and would match up against the only other un d efeated rider, Sobek Muszinski. Tretera also lined up in the heat with 11 of a possible 12 points, making three of four riders in the next-to-last hea t guaranteed a spo t in the championship runoff. Shane Goodnight, qualified to run heats wi th the top 16, got in through the last cha nce qualifier and was still in contention for a top-10 finish overall, lined up fourth. In this main event preview, Brown kept his perfect scare alive with Muszinski nipping Tretera at the line for second and a solid 14point finish. Bogden Muszinski needed a win in the final heat ra ce to qualify for the championship . A second-place finish would force a runoff with Bear Creek regular, Smith. Bogden chased dawn Canada's Chris Hesmer to take the win and go straight to the championship series. One lap into the first of four championship heats, Sobek Muszinski broke his footpeg and rode the seat to fourth place after taking the jump on Brown. As Sobek repaired his peg, Bogden checked for the source of engi ne noises in his engine that hadn't bee n apart in two years, a nd Tretera readied his back- up bike. Brown re laxed as his crew changed vita l flui ds in h is [awe. Despite some close action, Brown led Sobek, Bogden and Tretera (in that order) to the finish in each of the next three mains to take the champ ionship. In flat track action Eric Kinsey out-powered the Open class wi th Dan Reed taking yet another win in the Ute class and a third in the Open class a board h is 250 .
