Price picks two again at
Trail-Way ShortTrack
By Len Breech .
HANOVER, PA, AUG. 20
With his Na tiona l bike a little d own on power
for a mile, Geo rgie Price dec ided to forego the
AMA Indy Natio nal and again came away with
a pair of fairly easy wins in the 600cc Pro and
Sportsman races on a Trail-Way Speedway that
CASTAIC, CA. AUG.21
With con v in cing back- to-hac k 125 Begin ne r
moto wins, Shane Skolil rode to the w inne r's circle during the sse motocross at one of Southern
California's new est and most exciting tracks, the
Castaic Lake MX track.
First-moto action sa w Tyler Buck jump into
th e ea rly lea d as Gr a ham Howell a n d Ma ll
Wyckoff stuck close behind . Wyckoff jumped
into the runner-up spot while Skolil was on the
gas and moving up rap id ly afte r gating poorly.
Skolil quickly mo ved in to the second spot, but
his cha rge was in vain, as he cras hed and relinqu ished his hard-foug ht posi tion.
Up fron t, the fight for the lead was a neverendi ng battle. Buck miscu ed a tum and slid ou t,
At this point it was anyo ne's race. Howell took
over the lead, Wyckoff held seco nd an d Skolil
was ripping through the field ·to chall eng e the
leaders. With the laps winding d own, Skolil was
no t willing to give in. Skoli l firs t picked off
Wyckoff a nd then se t his sights on the leade r.
With one and a half laps remainin g, Skolil finally ju m pe d pas t How ell to la ke th e lead and
make it stick. At th e chec ke red flag, Skolil
crossed the line wi th the well -deserved win, as
Howell and Wyckoff had to sett le for pos itions
second and third.
in mot o IWo, Wyckoff nailed the holes hot
with Gary Kempe r and Skolil trailing. Skolil was
all work in moto two, as he first p icked off Kemper and then reeled in Wykoff to take over the
lead on lap two. The ba ttle raged on, but it was
now for the runner-up spot . Kemper qu ickly fell
off the p ace as Wyck off and Howe ll s ta rted
swa pping positions back and forth . With only a
few la p s re mai nin g, Ho well we n t down an d
slipped back to fifth; Warren Hop kins took over
third. When the chaos of cras hing and bash ing
was all ove r, Skolil cru ised in for the win with
Howell and Wyckoff trailing.
In the 2SOcc Interm ed iate class John Keefer,
Leo Tidwell and Pat Carson traded moto finishes. Tid well took the overa ll with a win in the
first race and a runner-up in the second . Keefer
had to settle wi th third spo t in the first race, but
came back to win the second moto in conv incing
sty le.
