AUG. 20-21 In the dog days of summer, Mark McDo na ld proved he's the leader of the pack after winning both the Form ula On e and Form ula Two races a t Will ow Springs International Racew a y. This ma rked the secon d month in a row in w hic h McDonald has wo n both races as pa rt of the Willow Sp rings Motorcycle Club progra m. Mc Do na ld 's vic tory in th e Toyo ta C u p Unlim ited Road Race by Budweise r For mula On e d idn 't come easy, as he fought form er F-l class cha mp ion Chu ck Graves nearl y every lap of the race. It was Grav es wh o was first off the line, g ra bb in g th e ho les h ot and th e lead. McDonald was initially running in third bu t had ma de his way up into second pla ce withi n the firs t lap on his Ma x McDonald Racin g-sponso red Yamaha TZ25O. As the leaders began the third lap of the race, McDona ld closed the ga p on Graves and was preparing to mount a chal lenge. McDonald followed Graves aro und tum one, then went aro und the outside of him in turn two to take over the lead. What followed was a racelong d ice between these two riders for the win. Gra ves took advantage of his greater horsepower on the back and front straights while McDonald used his nimbl e Yamaha TZ250 to its fullest in the tight sections of the course, particularly in the tum-two area . As the final lap go t underway, Graves an d McDonald were s id e by sid e down the fro nt straight. Gra ves eme rged with the lead out of tum one but was again passed by McDonald in tum tw o. McDonald continued to lead through the back straigh t and in to tum eight. Heading fo r the final tum, th e leaders encountered a la p p ed rider. McDonald had no d ifficul ty in making it ar ound the backmarker, but Graves was held up just slightly. It proved eno ugh for McDo nald to ho ld on and cr oss the line firs t, with Graves a close second and john Hilto n finish ing third . "I was sticking my bike anywhere it wou ld fit, just trying to get by Ch uck; said McDona ld after the race. In the Maxima Racing Oil Formu la Two race, McDonald quickly grabbed the race lead with Walt Dorsch running second . These tw o riders es ta b lis hed firm h old s o n first a nd secon d , respectiv ely, for the d ura tion, leaving the primary actio n at the front of the pack wi th the battl e for third .
